جَعَلَ
اللَّهُ
الْكَعْبَةَ
الْبَيْتَ
الْحَرَامَ
قِيَامًا
لِّلنَّاسِ
وَالشَّهْرَ
الْحَرَامَ
وَالْهَدْيَ
وَالْقَلَائِدَ
ذَلِكَ
لِتَعْلَمُوا
أَنَّ
اللَّهَ
يَعْلَمُ
مَا
فِي
السَّمَاوَاتِ
وَمَا
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
وَأَنَّ

شَيْءٍ
عَلِيمٌ

Allah has made the Ka‘bah, the Sacred House, a [means of] sustentation for mankind, and [also] the sacred month, the offering and the garlands, so that you may know that Allah knows whatever there is in the heavens and whatever there is in the earth, and that Allah has knowledge of all things.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Allah made the Ka'ba, the Sacred House, an asylum of security for men, as also the Sacred Months, the animals for offerings, and the garlands that mark them: That ye may know that Allah hath knowledge of what is in the heavens and on earth and that Allah is well acquainted with all things.
