2:198 - It is no crime in you if ye seek of the bounty of your Lord (during Pilgrimage). Then when ye<br />

pour down from (Mount) Arafat celebrate the praises of Allah at the Sacred Monument and<br />

celebrate His praises as He has directed you even though before this ye went astray.<br />

219 Legitimate trade is allowed, in the interests both of the honest trader, who can thus meet his own expenses, and of the<br />

generality of pilgrims, who would otherwise be greatly inconvenienced for the necessaries of life. But the profit must<br />

be sought as from the "bounty of God". There should be no profiteering, or trade "tricks". Good honest trade is a form<br />

of service to the community, and therefore to God. (2.198)<br />

BONDMAN:<br />

90:12 - And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?<br />

90:13 - And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?<br />

6140 The difficult path of virtue is defined as the path of charity or unselfish love, and three specific instances are given for<br />

our understanding: viz. (1) freeing the bondman, (2) feeding the orphan, and (3) feeding the indigent down in the<br />

dust. (90.13)<br />

6143 Persons down in the dust can only be helped from motives of pure charity, because nothing can be expected of themneither<br />

praise nor advertisement nor any other advantage to the helper. Such help is help indeed. But there may be<br />

various degrees, and the help will be suited to the needs. (90.16)<br />

12:75 - They said: "The penalty should be that he in whose saddle bag it is found should be held<br />

(as bondman) to atone for the (crime). Thus it is we punish the wrongdoers!" 17401741<br />

BOW DOWN:<br />

2::34 -And behold We said to the angels: "Bow down to Adam"; and they bowed down not so Iblis:<br />

he refused and was haughty: He was of those who reject Faith.<br />

49 The Arabic may also be translated: "They bowed down, except Iblis." In that case Iblis (Satan) would be one of the<br />

angels. But the theory of fallen angels is not usually accepted in Muslim theology. In xviii, 50 Iblis is spoken of as a<br />

Jinn. We shall discuss later the meaning of this word. (2.34)<br />

2:43 - And be steadfast in prayer; practice regular charity; and bow down your heads with those who<br />

bow down (in worship). 60<br />

60 The argument is still primarily addressed to the Jews, but is of universal application, as in all the teachings of the<br />

Quran. The chief feature of Jewish worship was and is the bowing of the head. (2.43)<br />

2:125 - Remember We made the house a place of assembly for men and a place of safety; and<br />

take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted with Abraham and<br />

Isma`il that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round or use it as a<br />

retreat or bow or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer). 125126<br />

125 The Ka'ba, the House of God. Its foundation goes back by Arab tradition to Abraham. Its fourfold character is here<br />

referred to. (1) It was the centre to which all the Arab tribes resorted for trade, for poetic contests, and for worship, (2)<br />

It was sacred territory and was respected by friend and foe alike. At certain seasons, all fighting was and is forbidden<br />

within it limits, and even arms are not allowed to be carried and no game or other thing is allowed to be killed. Like<br />
