The Safa and the Marwah (- the two eminences near Ka'bah) are certainly (two) of the symbols of Allâh, so he who is on Pilgrimage to the House or performs 'Umrah (- a visit to Ka'bah), there is no blame on him to perform Tawaf (- to run between) the two (eminences), and he who remains thoroughly dutiful and chooses to do good deeds spontaneously, then surely (he will find) Allah is Appreciative and rewards every good deed done. Surely, Allah is All-Knowing.

Those who are on pilgrimage to the House or perform 'Umrah (a visit to the Ka'bah) are not blamed for performing Tawaf (running between) the two eminences. Moreover, whoever remains thoroughly dutiful and chooses to do good deeds voluntarily will find that Allah is appreciative and rewards every good deed done. This verse emphasizes the significance of the Safa and the Marwah as symbols of Allah, inviting believers to engage in the rituals of pilgrimage and 'Umrah without blame. It encourages piety and the performance of good deeds, assuring believers that Allah is aware of their actions and will reward them accordingly.

Verse 159

Innal lazeena yaktumoona maaa anzalnaa minal baiyinaati walhudaa mim ba’di maa baiyannaahu linnaasi fil kitaabi ulaaa’ika yal’anuhumul laahu wa yal’anuhumul laa ‘inoon

Verily, those who conceal the clear evidences and the guidance which We have revealed, after We have explained them to the people in this Book, these it is whom Allah deprives of His mercy and also disapprove all those who can disapprove,

Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 159 of the Qur'an, delivers a stern admonition against concealing divine guidance. It stresses the importance of transparency and dissemination of God's teachings among humanity. The phrase "God wants you to know" encapsulates the essence of this verse, emphasizing Allah's desire for His guidance to be understood and followed. The verse begins by condemning those who deliberately hide or obscure the clear signs and guidance revealed by Allah, especially after they have been explained to people through His Book. This act is seen as a betrayal of trust and a hindrance to the spread of truth. The consequences of such concealment are severe, as those who engage in it are deprived of Allah's mercy. This deprivation underscores the gravity of the offense, as mercy is a central aspect of Allah's compassion and forgiveness. By concealing divine guidance, individuals distance themselves from this mercy and invite divine disapproval. Moreover, the verse also condemns those who have the ability to disapprove of such concealment but fail to do so. This highlights the responsibility of standing up for truth and justice, even when it may be challenging or unpopular. In essence, this verse serves as a reminder of the obligation to uphold and propagate divine guidance. It stresses the significance of clarity and openness in conveying spiritual truths and warns against the repercussions of concealing or obstructing them. Ultimately, it conveys the message that God desires His guidance to be known and followed by humanity, and those who betray this trust will face divine consequences.
