Sura Vi. An'am, Or Cattle. Section 18

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

Sra Vi.: An
'M, Or Cattle.

Section 18

145.
Qul la ajidu feema oohiya ilayya muharraman AAala taAAimin yatAAamuhu illa an yakoona maytatan aw daman masfoohan aw lahma khinzeerin fa-innahu rijsun aw fisqan ohilla lighayri Allahi bihi famani idturra ghayra baghin wala AAadin fa-inna rabbaka ghafoorun raheemUn

145.
Say: "I find not

In the Message received

By me by inspiration

Any (meat) forbidden

To be eaten by one

Who wishes to eat it,

Unless it be dead meat,

Or blood poured forth,

Or the flesh of swine,--

For it is an abomination--

Or, what is impious, (meat)

On which a name has been

Invoked, other than God's."

But (even so), if a person

Is forced by necessity,

Without wilful disobedience,

Nor transgressing due limits,--

Thy Lord is Oft-forgiving,

Most Merciful.

146.
WaAAala allatheena hadoo harramna kulla thee "th"ufurin wamina albaqari waAlghanami harramna AAalayhim shuhoomahuma illa ma hamalat "th"uhooruhuma awi alhawaya aw ma ikhtalata biAAa"th"min thalika jazaynahum bibaghyihim wa-inna lasadiqoonA

146.
For those who followed

The Jewish Law, We forbade

Every (animal) with

Undivided hoof,

And We forbade them

The fat of the ox

And the sheep, except

What adheres to their backs

Or their entrails,

Or is mixed up

With a bone:


This in recompense

For their wilful disobedience:

For We are True

(In Our ordinances).

147.
Fa-in kaththabooka faqul rabbukum thoo rahmatin wasiAAatin wala yuraddu ba/suhu AAani alqawmi almujrimeenA

147. If they accuse thee

Of falsehood, say:


"Your Lord is full

Of mercy all-embracing;

But from people in guilt

Never will His wrath

Be turned back.

148.
Sayaqoolu allatheena ashrakoo law shaa Allahu ma ashrakna wala abaona wala harramna min shay-in kathalika kaththaba allatheena min qablihim hatta thaqoo ba/sana qul hal AAindakum min AAilmin fatukhrijoohu lana in tattabiAAoona illa aL"thth"anna wa-in antum illa takhrusoonA

148. Those who give partners

(To God) will say:


"If God had wished,

We should not have

Given partners to Him,

Nor would our fathers;

Nor should we have had

Any taboos." So did

Their ancestors argue

Falsely, until they tasted

Of Our wrath. Say:


"Have ye any (certain)

Knowledge? If so, produce

It before us. Ye follow

Nothing but conjecture:


Ye do nothing but lie."

149.
Qul falillahi alhujjatu albalighatu falaw shaa lahadakum ajmaAAeenA

149.
Say: "With God is the argument

That reaches home: if it had

Been His Will, He could

Indeed have guided you all."

150.
Qul halumma shuhadaakumu allatheena yashhadoona anna Allaha harrama hatha fa-in shahidoo fala tashhad maAAahum wala tattabiAA ahwaa allatheena kaththaboo bi-ayatina waAllatheena la yu/minoona biAl-akhirati wahum birabbihim yaAAdiloonA

150.
Say: "Bring forward your witnesses

To prove that God did

Forbid so and so.
" If they

Bring such witnesses,

Be not thou amongst them:


Nor follow thou the vain

Desires of such as treat

Our Signs as falsehoods,

And such as believe not

In the Hereafter: for they

Hold others as equal

With their Guardian-Lord.
