لَن
يَنَالَ
اللَّهَ
لُحُومُهَا
وَلَا
دِمَاؤُهَا
وَلَكِن
يَنَالُهُ
التَّقْوَى
مِنكُمْ
كَذَلِكَ
سَخَّرَهَا
لَكُمْ
لِتُكَبِّرُوا
اللَّهَ
عَلَى
مَا
هَدَاكُمْ
وَبَشِّرِ
الْمُحْسِنِينَ

It is not their meat nor their blood, that reaches Allah: it is your piety that reaches Him: He has thus made them subject to you, that ye may glorify Allah for His Guidance to you and proclaim the good news to all who do right.
— Abdullah Yusufali
It is not their flesh or blood that reaches Allah; rather, it is your piety that reaches Him. Thus has He disposed them for your benefit so that you may magnify Allah for His guiding you. And give good news to the virtuous.
