(of the times of) ignorance
(with thorough) purification.
Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe.
No soul can believe, except by the will of Allah, and He will place doubt (or obscurity) on those who will not understand.
Such (is the Pilgrimage): whoever honours the sacred rites of Allah, for him it is good in the Sight of his Lord. Lawful to you (for food in Pilgrimage) are cattle, except those mentioned to you (as exception): but shun the abomination of idols, and shun the word that is false,-
And stay quietly in your houses, and make not a dazzling display, like that of the former Times of Ignorance; and establish regular Prayer, and give regular Charity; and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah only wishes to remove all abomination from you, ye members of the Family, and to make you pure and spotless.
真主欲使谁遵循正道,就使谁的心胸为伊斯兰而敞开;真主欲使谁误入迷途,就使谁的心胸狭隘,(要他信道),难如登天。真主这样以刑罚加于不信道的人。
任何人都不会信道,除非奉真主的命令。他以刑罚加于不明理的人们。
事情就是这样的,谁尊重真主的戒律,在主的那里对于谁是更好的。一切牲畜对你们都是合法的,对你们已宣布禁戒的除外。故你们应当避开污秽即偶像,应当永离妄语;
你们应当安居于你们的家中,你们不要炫露你们的美丽,如从前蒙昧时代的妇女那样。你们应当谨守拜功,完纳天课,顺从真主及其使者。先知的家属啊!真主只欲消除你们的污秽,洗净你们的罪恶。
