Al Maidah Verse 2
• O you who have believed, do not violate the rites of Allah or
[the sanctity of] the sacred month or [neglect the marking
of] the sacrificial animals and garlanding [them] or [violate
the safety of] those coming to the Sacred House seeking
bounty from their Lord and [His] approval. But when you
come out of ihram, then [you may] hunt. And do not let the
hatred of a people for having obstructed you from al-Masjid
al-Haram lead you to transgress. And cooperate in
righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and
aggression. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.
The Necessity of Observing the Sanctity of the
Sacred Area and the Sacred Months
• Ibn Abbas said: Sha’air Allah means the rituals of Hajj.

• It was also stated that Sha’air Allah is what He prohibited. Therefore,
it means, do not violet what Allah prohibited.
• The expression 'sha'a'ir Allah' refers to all those rites
which are the characteristic symbols of an exclusive
devotion to God.
• Muslims are required to respect these symbols.

The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said, "Time has come back to its
original state which it had when Allah created the
Heavens and the Earth; the year is twelve months, four
of which are sacred. Three of them are in succession;
Dzul-Qa'da, Dzul-Hijja and Al-Muharram, and (the
fourth being) Rajab, Mudar (named after the tribe of
Mudar as they used to respect this month) which
stands between Jamad (ath-thani) and Sha'ban."
• Required to
respect and honor
the sacred month
and to refrain from
what Allah
forbade during it,
such as fighting.
This also lays They ask concerning fighting in the
emphasis on

• It should be recalled that this directive to treat the symbols
of God with due respect was given at a time when a state
of belligerency existed between the Muslims and the
polytheists of Arabia, and Makka was under the occupation
of the latter.
• Polytheistic tribes from all over Arabia used to visit the
Ka'bah for Pilgrimage, and the routes of many of these
tribes were within the reach-of the Muslims if they decided
to attack. It was in such circumstances that the Muslims
were told that, even though those people were polytheists,
if they were proceeding towards the 'House of God'; that
they should not be attacked during the months of
Pilgrimage; and that the animals which they were carrying
for sacrificial offering should not be touched.
Following a general directive that the symbols of
God should be treated with proper respect a few
such symbols are mentioned specifically lest war
fever lead even to the desecration of religious
rites and symbols.
The enumeration of these particular symbols
does not mean that respect is due to these alone.

Islamic Symbol which
you think should be

The Necessity of Preserving the Sanctity and Safety of

Those Who Intend to Travel to the Sacred House
The ayah command:
Do not fight people who are heading towards the
sacred house of Allah, which if anyone enters it,
he must be granted safe refuge. Likewise, those
who are heading towards the sacred house
seeking the bounty and good pleasure of Allah,
must not be stopped, prevented, or frightened
away from entering the sacred house.
Mujahid, ‘Ata, Abu Al Aliyah, Mutarrif bin Abdullah, Abdullah
bin Ubayd bin Umayr, Ar Rabi bin Anas, Muqatil bin Hayyan,
Qatadah and several others said that:

you during Ihram. ihram in this case),
Ihram
Ihram is also one of the symbols of God
and violation of any of the
prohibitions which should be observed
in that state is an act of sacrilege.
The prohibition of hunting while in the
state of ihram is mentioned in
connection with the desecration of the
symbols of God.
When ihram is over, the prohibitions
become void, and one is permitted to
hunt.

you from al-Masjid al-Haram (at Makkah) lead you to
transgression (and hostility on your part).

•It commands: Let not the hatred for some

people, who prevented you from reaching
the sacred house in the year of hudaibiyah,
make you transgress Allah’s law and commit
injustice against them in retaliation. Rather,
rule as Allah has commanded you, being
just with every one.
A similar ayat:
and do not let the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid
justice. Be just; that is nearer to peity.
Which commands: do not be driven by your hatred for

some people into abandoning justice, for justice is
ordained for everyone, in all situations.
Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that zayd bn Aslam said:
The messenger of Allah and His companions were in the area of al
hudaibiyah when the idolators prevented them from visiting the
house, and that was especially hard on them.
Later on, some idolators passed by them from the east intending to
perform umrah. So the companions of the prophet said: let us prevent
those (from umrah) just as their fellow idolators prevented us.
Thereafter, Allah sent down this ayah.
Ibn Abbas and others said that Shana’an refers to enmity and hate.
