Al-An'am 6:121 ولا تاكلوا مما لم يذكر اسم الله عليه وانه لفسق وان الشياطين ليوحون الى اوليايهم ليجادلوكم وان اطعتموهم انكم لمشركون ١٢١

6:121
وَلَا

ٱسۡمُ

ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ
لَيُوحُونَ
إِلَىٰٓ
أَوۡلِيَآئِهِمۡ
لِيُجَٰدِلُوكُمۡۖ
وَإِنۡ
أَطَعۡتُمُوهُمۡ
إِنَّكُمۡ
لَمُشۡرِكُونَ

Read in Context

Chapter 6, Page 143, Juz 8

116. If you obeyed most of those on earth, they would lead you away from the path of God. They follow nothing but speculation; they are merely guessing. 117. Your Lord knows best who strays from His path and who is rightly guided. 118. So [believers] eat any [animal] over which God’s name has been pronounced, if you believe in His revelations. 119. Why should you not eat such animals when God has already fully explained what He has forbidden you, except when forced by hunger? But many lead others astray by their desires, without any true knowledge: your Lord knows best who oversteps the limit. 120. Avoid committing sin, whether openly or in secret, for those who commit sin will be repaid for what they do, 121. and do not eat anything over which God’s name has not been pronounced, for that is breaking the law. The evil ones incite their followers to argue with you: if you listen to them, you too will become idolaters.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
