Worship and Fasting are obligatory to you on your coming to maturity [Note 1] a command from God, your Lord and the Lord of your early fathers.

Whoever is weak from illness or advanced age, God exempts him because of a Grace on His part.

He is the Generous One, the Forgiver.

God permits you to prostrate yourselves on everything pure, and we have taken away the ruling stipulated in the Book.[Note 2]

God knows and you do not.

Whoever does not find water, let him repeat five times, "bi-sm-illah, al- athar, al-athar" (In the name of God, the Purest, the Purest,) and then begin worship.

This is what the Master of the worlds commanded.

In those lands where nights and days are long they may perform worship by (using) clocks and objects which determine the times.

He is the Wise One, the Explainer.
