22:37
pronounce the name of Allah over the animals which He has given
them (for food). Your God is one God; to Him surrender yourselves.
Give good news to the humble, whose hearts are filled with awe at the
mention of their Lord; who endure their misfortunes with fortitude,
attend to their prayers, and bestow in charity of that which We have
given them.
And the camels We have made a part of Allah's rites. They are of
much use to you. Pronounce over them the name of Allah as they line
up; and when they have fallen down on their sides, eat of their flesh
and feed with it the contented and the beggar. ThusWe have subjected
them to you, so that youmay give thanks.
Their flesh and blood does not reach Allah; it is your piety that
reaches Him. Thus He has subjected them to you, so that you may
glorifyHim for guiding you.
And give good news to the righteous. Allah will defend the true
believers (against evil). Verily God does not love the treacherous and
the thankless.
Permission (to take up arms) is hereby given to those who are
attacked, because they have been wronged. Allah has power to grant
them victory; those who have been unjustly driven from their homes,
only because they said: 'Our Lord is Allah.' Had Allah not repelled
some men by the might of others, the monasteries and churches, the
synagogues and mosques in which Allah's name is frequently
remembered, would have been utterly destroyed. But whoever helps
