The background of this verse is that during the pre-Islamic period, when polytheists sacrificed animals, they would sprinkle the blood onto the walls of the Kaaba. Upon seeing this, some Muslims intended to do the same. It was at this moment that this verse was revealed. Abu Salih narrated this from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them). Commentators have explained the meaning of this verse: neither the blood nor the meat of sacrificial animals reaches Allah; only Taqwa (𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲/𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬) reaches Him. This refers to the purity of the action and the intention to seek only the pleasure of Allah.
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫: if there is no Taqwa, Allah does not accept the sacrifice. It is a warning that if the intention behind an action is not correct, that action holds no benefit.
