in brief
The text promises that believers and righteous doers enter Gardens under rivers, be honored, and that those who deny and obstruct the Sacred Mosque will taste a grievous punishment.

022.029 Y: "Then let them complete the rites prescribed for them, perform their vows, and (again) circumambulate the Ancient House."

P: Then let them make an end of their unkemptness and pay their vows and go around the ancient House.

S: Then let them accomplish their needful acts of shaving and cleansing, and let them fulfil their vows and let them go round the Ancient House.

022.030 Y: 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,-

P: That (is the command). And whoso magnifieth the sacred things of Allah, it will be well for him in the sight of his Lord. The cattle are lawful unto you save that which hath been told you. So shun the filth of idols, and shun lying speech,

S: That (shall be so); and whoever respects the sacred ordinances of Allah, it is better for him with his Lord; and the cattle are made lawful for you, except that which is recited to you, therefore avoid the uncleanness of the idols and avoid false words,

022.031 Y: Being true in faith to Allah, and never assigning partners to Him: if anyone assigns partners to Allah, is as if he had fallen from heaven and been snatched up by birds, or the wind had swooped (like a bird on its prey) and thrown him into a far-distant place.

P: Turning unto Allah (only), not ascribing partners unto Him; for whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah, it is as if he had fallen from the sky and the birds had snatched him or the wind had blown him to a far-off place.

S: Being upright for Allah, not associating aught with Him and whoever associates (others) with Allah, it is as though he had fallen from on high, then the birds snatch him away or the wind carries him off to a far-distant place.

022.032 Y: Such (is his state): and whoever holds in honour the symbols of Allah, (in the sacrifice of animals), such (honour) should come truly from piety of heart.

P: That (is the command). And whoso magnifieth the offerings consecrated to Allah, it surely is from devotion of the hearts,

S: That (shall be so); and whoever respects the signs of Allah, this surely is (the outcome) of the piety of hearts.

022.033 Y: In them ye have benefits for a term appointed: in the end their place of sacrifice is near the Ancient House.

P: Therein are benefits for you for an appointed term; and afterward they are brought for sacrifice unto the ancient House.

S: You have advantages in them till a fixed time, then their place of sacrifice is the Ancient House.

022.034 Y: To every people did We appoint rites (of sacrifice), that they might celebrate the name of Allah over the sustenance He gave them from animals (fit for food). But your Allah is One Allah: submit then your wills to Him (in Islam): and give thou the good news to those who humble themselves,-

P: And for every nation have We appointed a ritual, that they may mention the name of Allah over the beast of cattle that He hath given them for food; and your Allah is One Allah, therefor surrender unto Him. And give good tidings (O Muhammad) to the humble,

S: And to every nation We appointed acts of devotion that they may mention the name of Allah on what He has given them of the cattle quadrupeds; so your Allah is One Allah, therefore to Him should you submit, and give good news to the humble,
