Then whoso hasteneth (his departure) by two days, it is no sin
for him, and whoso delayeth, it is no sin for him; that is for him who
wardeth off (evil). And be careful of your duty to Allah, and know that unto
him ye will be gathered.

Lesson
It has been stated in the previous lesson that there are special
three days of worship, which are called ‘Ayyaa-mi tash-riiq, that
is to say the 10th, 11th and 12th of Zul-Hijjah.
But if any person stays also after the 12th and prays the God
Almighty, then it is no sin for him. And if any person sets on to Makkah
after staying only two days, then it is also no sin for him.
The object to tell by this verse is that the actual thing is Piety
(fear of God Almighty), to abstain from the things which are forbidden by Allah
Almighty, remain at distance from unlawful things, not to seek any pretence and
excuse in His obedience, keeping to make intention His pleasure, to act upon
His Orders and induce others, to keep the Day of Resurrection in front, to
believe the life after death and to arrange for it.
Some unsystematic-ness may happen due to certain compulsions in
execution of lawful commands. But these compulsions will be accepted only of
that person, who is punctual of honesty, chastity and abstinence. He doesn’t follow
against the commands of Allah Almighty with violence and rebellion. It is clear
that the person like this will never seek any pretence or excuse in obeying His
Orders. The real thing which is required to be produced in the human being is Piety.
In its presence if any body falls in some littleness due to compulsion or
poorness, then it can be forgiven.
The Holy Qur’an preaches for the God-fearing with nearly each
command. So it has much importance in the life of the mankind. The object from
the orders of Allah Almighty is to grow cleanliness, purity and excellence in
the human life. But if in the presence of these specialties, any person is unable
to obey the Orders then there is no sin for him.
The recitation about the Pilgrimage ends here.
