002.125 Y:  Remember We made the House a place of assembly for men and a place of safety; and take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted with Abraham and Isma’il, that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or use it as a retreat, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer).

P:  And when We made the House (at Makka) a resort for mankind and sanctuary, (saying):  Take as your place of worship the place where Abraham stood (to pray).  And We imposed a duty upon Abraham and Ishmael, (saying):  Purify My house for those who go around and those who meditate therein and those who bow down and prostrate themselves (in worship).

S:  And when We made the House a pilgrimage for men and a (place of) security, and:  Appoint for yourselves a place of prayer on the standing-place of Ibrahim.  And We enjoined Ibrahim and Ismail saying:  Purify My House for those who visit (it) and those who abide (in it) for devotion and those who bow down (and) those who prostrate themselves.

002.126 Y:  And remember Abraham said:  “My Lord, make this a City of Peace, and feed its people with fruits,-such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day.”  He said:  “(Yea), and such as reject Faith,-for a while will I grant them their pleasure, but will soon drive them to the torment of Fire,- an evil destination (indeed)!”

P:  And when Abraham prayed:  My Lord!  Make this a region of security and bestow upon its people fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day, He answered:  As for him who disbelieveth, I shall leave him in contentment for a while, then I shall compel him to the doom of Fire - a hapless journey’s end!

S:  And when Ibrahim said:  My Lord, make it a secure town and provide its people with fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the last day.  He said:  And whoever disbelieves, I will grant him enjoyment for a short while, then I will drive him to the chastisement of the fire; and it is an evil destination.

002.127 Y:  And remember Abraham and Isma’il raised the foundations of the House (With this prayer):  “Our Lord!  Accept (this service) from us:  For Thou art the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.”

P:  And when Abraham and Ishmael were raising the foundations of the House, (Abraham prayed):  Our Lord!  Accept from us (this duty).  Lo!  Thou, only Thou, art the Hearer, the Knower.

S:  And when Ibrahim and Ismail raised the foundations of the House:  Our Lord! accept from us; surely Thou art the Hearing, the Knowing: 

002.128 Y:  “Our Lord! make of us Muslims, bowing to Thy (Will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Thy (will); and show us our place for the celebration of (due) rites; and turn unto us (in Mercy); for Thou art the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.”

P:  Our Lord!  And make us submissive unto Thee and of our seed a nation submissive unto Thee, and show us our ways of worship, and relent toward us.  Lo!  Thou, only Thou, art the Relenting, the Merciful.
