The Holy Quran 22:30 — Surah Al-Hajj

Arabic text

ذَٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ حُرُمَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ ۗ وَأُحِلَّتْ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمُ إِلَّا مَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَٱجْتَنِبُوا۟ ٱلرِّجْسَ مِنَ ٱلْأَوْثَـٰنِ وَٱجْتَنِبُوا۟ قَوْلَ ٱلزُّورِ

Translation

So it is. Whoever respects the things that Allaah has made sacred, then this (respect) will be best for him with his Rabb (because Allaah will reward him for this). Livestock animals have been permitted for you (to consume), with the exception of those (animals) that have been recited to you (in other verses of the Qur'aan, making it clear that they are Haraam). So abstain (totally) from the impurity of idols and abstain from false talk...

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Explanation of the sacred things of Allah: that is, to abandon forbidden things, regarding them as grave, or to maintain respect and reverence for the things Allah has declared sacred, is a most excellent and virtuous matter whose outcome will be extremely good.
