This is the last verse here, in which the rules and rites of HAJJ are discussed. Hereby the customs of the Pagan Era are condemned and driven away; recommending the believers to stay after the feast of sacrifice, in the valley of Mina, for prayer and praise: ``And laud Allah during the numbered days.''

      The (NUMBERED DAYS) here, are the three days after the tenth which are known as the days of TASHRICH - being optional for the pilgrims to leave on the second or third day of TASHRIGH.

      As for the Arabic `ZIKR' here that has been translated to `LAUDING' we have traditions; that after performance of fifteen prayers beginning in the noon of the festival day and ending in the 13th of ZELHAJJEH, the following holy sentence should be repeatedly rehearsed:

      ``Allah is Greater! Allah is Greater! There is no god but Allah. Praise belongs to HIM only. Greater is Allah who protected us. HE who gives us sustenance out of the domestic animals.''

      The verse ends in the clause: ``Beware of Allah! and know that unto HIM you shall be mustered.''

      This may imply that through the spiritual rites of the pilgrimage your sins might have been forgiven you; and you are now like a newly born and innocent child free of guilt. Then guard yourself against doing evil or commiting new sins, from now on, and after your pilgrimage.
