O you who believe ! do not violate the signs appointed by Allah nor the sacred month , nor ( interfere with ) the offerings , nor the sacrificial animals with garlands , nor those going to the sacred house seeking the grace and pleasure of their Lord ; and when you are free from the obligations of the pilgrimage , then hunt , and let not hatred of a people-- because they hindered you from the Sacred Masjid-- incite you to exceed the limits , and help one another in goodness and piety , and do not help one another in sin and aggression ; and be careful of ( your duty to ) Allah ; surely Allah is severe in requiting ( evil ) .
