كَذَلِكَ
سَخَّرَهَا
لَكُمْ
لِتُكَبِّرُوا
اللَّهَ

مَا
هَدَاكُمْ
وَبَشِّرِ
الْمُحْسِنِينَ

It is not the flesh and blood of your sacrifice that pleases God. What pleases God is your piety. God has made subservient to you the sacrificial animals so that perhaps you will glorify Him; He is guiding you. (Muhammad), give the glad news (of God's mercy) to the righteous people.
