Performing Hajj

Yusuf Ali: For Hajj are the months well known. If any one undertakes that duty therein, Let there be no obscenity, nor wickedness, nor wrangling in the Hajj. And whatever good ye do, (be sure) Allah knoweth it. And take a provision (With you) for the journey, but the best of provisions is right conduct.

So fear Me, o ye that are wise.

Pickthall: The pilgrimage is (in) the well-known months, and whoever is minded to perform the pilgrimage therein (let him remember that) there is (to be) no lewdness nor abuse nor angry conversation on the pilgrimage.

And whatsoever good ye do Allah knoweth it. So make provision for yourselves; for the best provision is to ward off evil.

Therefore keep your duty unto Me, O men of understanding.

Shakir: The pilgrimage is (performed in) the well-known months; so whoever determines the performance of the pilgrimage therein, there shall be no intercourse nor fornication nor quarrelling amongst one another; and whatever good you do, Allah knows it; and make provision, for surely the provision is the guarding of oneself, and be careful (of your duty) to Me, O men of understanding.

[ Transliteration from al-Baqara - The Cow, Verse 197 ]
