Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
S: O you who believe! fulfill the obligations. The cattle quadrupeds are
allowed to you except that which is recited to you, not violating the
prohibition against game when you are entering upon the performance of
the pilgrimage; surely Allah orders what He desires.
005.002
Y: O ye who believe! Violate not the sanctity of the symbols of Allah,
nor of the sacred month, nor of the animals brought for sacrifice, nor
the garlands that mark out such animals, nor the people resorting to
the sacred house, seeking of the bounty and good pleasure of their
Lord. But when ye are clear of the sacred precincts and of pilgrim
garb, ye may hunt and let not the hatred of some people in (once)
shutting you out of the Sacred Mosque lead you to transgression (and
hostility on your part). Help ye one another in righteousness and
piety, but help ye not one another in sin and rancour: fear Allah: for
Allah is strict in punishment.
P: O ye who believe! Profane not Allah's monuments nor the Sacred Month
nor the offerings nor the garlands, nor those repairing to the Sacred
House, seeking the grace and pleasure of their Lord. But when ye have
left the sacred territory, then go hunting (if ye will). And let not
your hatred of a folk who (once) stopped your going to the inviolable
place of worship seduce you to transgress; but help ye one another unto
righteousness and pious duty. Help not one another unto sin and
transgression, but keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is severe in
punishment.
S: O you who believe! do not violate the signs appointed by Allah nor
the sacred month, nor (interfere with) the offerings, nor the
sacrificial animals with garlands, nor those going to the sacred house
seeking the grace and pleasure of their Lord; and when you are free
from the obligations of the pilgrimage, then hunt, and let not hatred
of a people-- because they hindered you from the Sacred Masjid-- incite
you to exceed the limits, and help one another in goodness and piety,
and do not help one another in sin and aggression; and be careful of
(your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil).
005.003
Y: Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of
swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than
Allah; that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow,
or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been
(partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in
due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also
is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety.
This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your
religion: yet fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your
religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you
Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no
inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful.
