-
The naturally dead mammal; and the flowing liquid
blood; and the meat of swine-pig flesh have been forbidden upon you the
claimants of belief;
-
And forbidden is that mammal which has been slaughtered in
the name-pronouncing someone other than Allah the Exalted and associating with Allah
someone else also;
-
And the strangled; and the one succumbed to
injuries; and the one died by falling; and the one gored to death;
-
And that
mangled by animal of prey save that you timely slaughtered it;
-
And the mammal slaughtered upon [stationary]
idols.
-
And it is forbidden for you that you people
might apportion
matters-seek judgments with featherless arrows
instead of using intellect/thought process.
-
This is for you people equivalent to getting
out of the bounds/restraints imposed by Allah the Exalted/It is equivalent to denounce allegiance to Allah.
-
Those who have refused to believe are now
despaired by your Code of conduct.
-
Therefore,
you people should not be apprehensive of them; and always be awed of
Me exclusively.
-
I have by now fully
prescribed your Code of Conduct: Constitution for adherence by you;
-
And I have thus
accomplished My beneficence upon you people.
-
And I am pleased to
announce Islam as the Constitution: Code of Conduct for you people.
-
In partial modification of prohibition
and subject to desperate reason of quiver-shudder because of
extreme hunger no one will be held guilty of sin for eating any of
the forbidden things; provided he had no urge and liking for that;
and that he does not transgress the limit of relieving the state of
quiver-shudder from hunger,
Remain aware; Allah
the Exalted is indeed
Oft-forgiving-overlooking, the Merciful.
