"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

Sra V.: Mda, Or The Table Spread.

Section 1

1.
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo awfoo biAlAAuqoodi ohillat lakum baheematu al-anAAami illa ma yutla AAalaykum ghayra muhillee aLssaydi waantum hurumun inna Allaha yahkumu ma yureedU

1. 1 O
ye who believe!

Fulfil (all) obligations

2 Lawful unto you (for food)

Are all four-footed animals,

With the exceptions named:

But animals of the chase

Are forbidden while ye

Are in the Sacred Precincts

Or in pilgrim garb:


For God doth command

According to His Will and Plan

2. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tuhilloo shaAAa-ira Allahi wala aLshshahra alharama wala alhadya wala alqala-ida wala ammeena albayta alharama yabtaghoona fadlan min rabbihim waridwanan wa-itha halaltum faIstadoo wala yajrimannakum shanaanu qawmin an saddookum AAani almasjidi alharami an taAAtadoo wataAAawanoo AAala albirri waALttaqwa wala taAAawanoo AAala al-ithmi waAlAAudwani waIttaqoo Allaha inna Allaha shadeedu alAAiqabI

2. 3 O
ye who believe!

Violate not the sanctity

Of the Symbols of God,

Nor of the Sacred Month,

Nor of the animals brought

For sacrifice, nor the garlands

That mark out such animals,

Nor the people resorting

To the Sacred House,

Seeking of the bounty

And good pleasure

Of their Lord.

But when ye are clear

Of the Sacred Precincts

And of pilgrim garb,

Ye may hunt

And let not the hatred

Of some people

In (once) shutting you out

Of the Sacred Mosque

Lead you to transgression

(And hostility on your part).

Help ye one another

In righteousness and piety,

But help ye not one another

In sin and rancour:


Fear God: for God

Is strict in punishment.

3. Hurrimat AAalaykumu almaytatu waALddamu walahmu alkhinzeeri wama ohilla lighayri Allahi bihi waAlmunkhaniqatu waAlmawqoothatu waAlmutaraddiyatu waALnnateehatu wama akala aLssabuAAu illa ma thakkaytum wama thubiha AAala aLnnusubi waan tastaqsimoo biAl-azlami thalikum fisqun alyawma ya-isa allatheena kafaroo min deenikum fala takhshawhum waIkhshawni alyawma akmaltu lakum deenakum waatmamtu AAalaykum niAAmatee waradeetu lakumu al-islama deenan famani idturra fee makhmasatin ghayra mutajanifin li-ithmin fa-inna Allaha ghafoorun raheemUn

3. 4
Forbidden to you (for food)

Are: dead meat, blood,

The flesh of swine, and that

On which hath been invoked

The name of other than God;

That which hath been

Killed by strangling,

Or by a violent blow,

Or by a headlong fall,

Or by being gored to death;

That which hath been (partly)

Eaten by a wild animal;

Unless ye are able

To slaughter it (in due form);

That which is sacrificed

On stone (altars);

(Forbidden) also is the division

(Of meat) by raffling

With arrows: that is impiety.

This day have those who

Reject Faith given up

All hope of your religion:


Yet fear them not

But fear Me.

This day have I

Perfected your religion

For you, completed

My favour upon you,

And have chosen for you

Islam as your religion.

But if any is forced

By hunger, with no inclination

To transgression, God is

Indeed Oft-forgiving,

Most Merciful.

4. Yas-aloonaka matha ohilla lahum qul ohilla lakumu aLttayyibatu wama AAallamtum mina aljawarihi mukallibeena tuAAallimoonahunna mimma AAallamakumu Allahu fakuloo mimma amsakna AAalaykum waOthkuroo isma Allahi AAalayhi waIttaqoo Allaha inna Allaha sareeAAu alhisabI

4. 5
They ask thee what is

Lawful to them (as food)

Say: Lawful unto you

Are (all) things good and pure:


And what ye have taught

Your trained hunting animals

(To catch) in the manner

Directed to you by God:

Eat what they catch for you,

But pronounce the name

Of God over it: and fear

God; for God is swift

In taking account.

5. Alyawma ohilla lakumu aLttayyibatu wataAAamu allatheena ootoo alkitaba hillun lakum wataAAamukum hillun lahum waAlmuhsanatu mina almu/minati waAlmuhsanatu mina allatheena ootoo alkitaba min qablikum itha ataytumoohunna ojoorahunna muhsineena ghayra musafiheena wala muttakhithee akhdanin waman yakfur biAl-eemani faqad habita AAamaluhu wahuwa fee al-akhirati mina alkhasireenA

5. 6
This day are (all) things

Good and pure made lawful

Unto you. The food

Of the People of the Book

Is lawful unto you

And yours is lawful

Unto them.

(Lawful unto you in marriage)

Are (not only) chaste women

Who are believers, but

Chaste women among

The People of the Book,

Revealed before your time,--

When ye give them

Their due dowers, and desire

Chastity, not lewdness,

Nor secret intrigues.

If any one rejects faith,

Fruitless is his work,

And in the Hereafter

He will be in the ranks

Of those who have lost

(All spiritual good).
