Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage)

Verse 31of 78

حُنَفَآءَ لِلَّهِ غَيْرَ مُشْرِكِينَ بِهِۦ ۚ وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتَخْطَفُهُ ٱلطَّيْرُ أَوْ تَهْوِى بِهِ ٱلرِّيحُ فِى مَكَانٍۢ سَحِيقٍۢ﴿٣١

Translation (Sahih International)

Inclining [only] to Allah, not associating [anything] with Him. And he who associates with Allah - it is as though he had fallen from the sky and was snatched by the birds or the wind carried him down into a remote place.

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Reward for avoiding SinAllah says: `This is what We have commanded you to do in the rituals (of Hajj), and this is the great reward that the person who does that will gain.'وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ حُرُمَـتِ اللَّهِ(whoever honors the sacred things of Allah,) means, whoever avoids disobeying Him and does not transgress that which is sacred, and regards committing sin as a very serious matter,فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ(then that is better for him with his Lord.
