English Translation
Here you can read various translations of verse 203
And remember Allah during [specific] numbered days. Then whoever hastens [his departure] in two days – there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays [until the third] – there is no sin upon him – for him who fears Allah. And fear Allah and know that unto Him you will be gathered.
“Celebrate the praises of Allah during the Appointed Days. But if any one hastens to leave in two days, there is no blame on him, and if any one stays on, there is no blame on him, if his aim is to do right. Then fear Allah, and know that ye will surely be gathered unto Him.
So pass these few appointed days in remembering Allah; then there is nothing wrong if one hastens on (from Mina) after two days or stays there (a day) longer, ” provided that he spends these days it piety. Do not disobey Him and remember that One Day you shall be mustered before Him.
And remember Allah during the appointed Days. But whosoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sin on him and whosoever stays on, there is no sin on him, if his aim is to do good and obey Allah (fear Him), and know that you will surely be gathered unto Him.
Remember Allah through the appointed days. 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). Be careful of your duty to Allah, and know that unto Him ye will be gathered.
And remember Allah during a (prescribed) number of days. So, whoever hastens on in two days, then there is no vice in him, (Literally: on him) and whoever defers then there is no vice in him; (that is) for whoever is pious. And be pious to Allah, and know that to Him you will be mustered.
Remember God on the appointed days. If anyone is in a hurry to leave after two days, there is no blame on him, nor is there any blame on anyone who stays on, so long as they are mindful of God. Be mindful of God, and remember that you will be gathered to Him.
اور اللہ تعالیٰ کی یاد ان گنتی کے چند دنوں (ایام تشریق) میں کرو، دو دن کی جلدی کرنے والے پر بھی کوئی گناه نہیں، اور جو پیچھے ره جائے اس پر بھی کوئی گناه نہیں، یہ پرہیزگارکے لئے ہے اور اللہ تعالیٰ سے ڈرتے رہو اور جان رکھو کہ تم سب اسی کی طرف جمع کئے جاؤ گے
Quran 2 Verse 203 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Baqarah ayat 203, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(2:203) And remember Allah through the appointed days. It is no sin for him who hastens off and returns in two days, and it is no sin for him who delays the return[222] provided he has spent the days in piety. Beware of disobeying Allah and know well that to Him you all shall be mustered.
222 Whether a person returned on the 12th or on the 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah from Mina to Makka during the day of tashriq (i.e. from the 10th to 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah) was immaterial. What was of real importance was not the number of days spent at Mina but the intensity of one’s devotion to God during the period of one’s stay.
