22.37. Lan yanala Allaha luhuumuhawala dimaoha walakin yanaluhualttaqwa minkum kadhalika sakhkharahalakum litukabbiruu Allaha AAala ma hadakumwabaschschiri almuhsiniina
22.37. Their flesh and their blood reach not Allah, but the devotion from you reacheth Him. Thus have We made them subject unto you that ye may magnify Allah that He hath guided you. And give good tidings (O Muhammad) to the good. (Pickthall)
22.37. Sicher erreicht nicht ihr Fleisch Allah, und nicht ihr Blut, sondern es erreicht Ihn die Gottesfurcht von euch. Derart hat Er sie euch dienstbar gemacht, damit ihr die Größe Allahs rühmt, wie Er euch rechtgeleitet hat, und künde den Guthandelnden Gutes an. (Ahmad v. Denffer)
22.37. Weder ihr Fleisch noch ihr Blut werden Allah erreichen, aber Ihn erreicht die Gottesfurcht von euch. So hat Er sie euch dienstbar gemacht, damit ihr Allah als den Größten preist, daß Er euch rechtgeleitet hat. Und verkünde frohe Botschaft den Gutes Tuenden. (Bubenheim)
22.37. Weder ihr Fleisch noch ihr Blut erreicht Gott. Ihn erreicht aber eure Frömmigkeit. So hat Er sie euch dienstbar gemacht, damit ihr Gott dafür preist, dass Er euch rechtgeleitet hat, und bringe den Gläubigen, die gute Werke verrichten, frohe Botschaft! (Azhar)
22.37. ALLAH erhält weder ihr Fleisch, noch ihr Blut, sondern zu Ihm gelangt die Taqwa von euch. Solcherart machte ER sie für euch gratis fügbar, damit ihr ALLAH mit „allahu-akbar“ verherrlicht für das, was ER euch an Rechtleitung gewährte. Und überbringe den Muhsin frohe Botschaft. (Zaidan)
22.37. Weder ihr Fleisch noch ihr Blut gelangt zu Allah, wohl aber die Gottesfurcht (die ihr) eurerseits (empfindet und an den Tag legt). So haben wir sie euch dienstbar gemacht, damit ihr Allah dafür preiset, daß er euch rechtgeleitet hat. Und bring denen, die fromm sind (al-muhsiniena), gute Nachricht (von der Seligkeit, die sie im Jenseits zu erwarten haben)! (Paret)
22.37. Ihr Fleisch erreicht Allah nicht, noch tut es ihr Blut, sondern eure Ehrfurcht ist es, die Ihn erreicht. In der Weise hat Er sie euch dienstbar gemacht, auf daß ihr Allah für Seine Rechtleitung preist. Und gib denen frohe Botschaft, die Gutes tun. (Rasul)
Tafsir von Maududi für die Ayaat 37 bis 37
(Note it well that) neither their flesh reaches Allah nor their blood, but it is your piety that reaches Him. ( 73 ) Thus has Allah subjected these animals to you so that you should glorify Him for the guidance He has given you. ( 74 ) And, O Prophet, give good news to those who do righteous works.
Desc No: 73 This prescribes a very important condition for the sacrifice made in the worship of Allah. A sacrifice is acceptable to Allah only if it is accompanied by piety and sincerity. Though sacrifice is a Symbol of Allah, yet it has been made plain that it is accepted only if it is accompanied by piety, saying, "Neither their flesh reaches Allah nor their blood, but it is your piety ...." This was also meant to condemn the ritual of the days of ignorance, when the Arabs took the flesh to the Ka'bah and smeard its walls with the blood of the sacrificed animal.
Desc No: 74 ".... you should glorify Allah" at the time of sacrifice verbally also in order to acknowledge that the animals really belong to Allah and to no one else. One of the sentences uttered at the time of sacrifice is Allahumma minka wa laka (O Allah, this animal is Thine and is presented to Thee). It should be noted well that the command of sacrifice as contained in verses 36 and 37 is not for the pilgrims alone and that the performance of sacrifice is not confined to Makkah on the occasion of Hajj. It is a general command for all those Muslims who are well off. They have been enjoined to be grateful to Allah because He has subjected these animals for the good of all human beings. Therefore they are required to sacrifice the animals during these days so that they may spiritually join those who go to Makkah to perform Hajj. There are many authentic Traditions to the effect that the Holy Prophet made sacrifice on this occasion, while he was personally at al-Madinah: (1) "The one who dces not perform sacrifice even though he can should not join us in the `Id Prayer". (Musnad Ahmad, Ibn Majah). (2) According to a Tradition reported by Ibn 'Umar, the Holy Prophet dwelt at al-Madinah for ten years and performed sacrifice every year. (Tirmizi). (3) According to Hadrat Anas, the Holy Prophet said: "The one who sacrificed an animal before the 'Id Prayer, should offer another sacrifice; but the one who sacrificed his animal after the 'Id Prayer, did the right thing and followed the way of the Muslims". (Bukhari) It this connection, it is note-worthy that no `Id Prayer is held on the tenth of Zil-Hajj in Makkah: therefore the injunction was meant for all Muslims and not only for those performing Hajj at Makkah. Thus, it is clear that the sacrifice on the occasion of 'Id which is observed in the whole Muslim world is a Sunnah of the Holy Prophet and has been enjoined by him. The only dispute is whether it is obligatory in nature or only a Sunnah. Ibrahim Nakha'i, Imams Abu Hanifah, Malik, Muhammad and, according to a Tradition, Imam Abu Yusuf too, are of the opinion that it is Obligatory in nature. On the other hand, Imams Shafi`i and Ahmad bin Hanbal regard it only as a Sunnah of the Muslims, and Sufyan _Thauri has also agreed with them, saying that there will be no harm if a person dces not offer a sacrifice. It is, however, an irony that some of the "learned" Muslims of our time, who follow neither the Qur'an nor the Sunnah, and are only guided by personal whims, have declared that if there is a consensus of opinion of the Muslims, they can give up the practice of sacrifice on the occasion of 'Id.
