Al-An'am 6:138 وقالوا هاذه انعام وحرث حجر لا يطعمها الا من نشاء بزعمهم وانعام حرمت ظهورها وانعام لا يذكرون اسم الله عليها افتراء عليه سيجزيهم بما كانوا يفترون ١٣٨

6:138
وَقَالُواْ
هَٰذِهِۦٓ
أَنۡعَٰمٞ
وَحَرۡثٌ
حِجۡرٞ

مَن
نَّشَآءُ
بِزَعۡمِهِمۡ
وَأَنۡعَٰمٌ
حُرِّمَتۡ
ظُهُورُهَا
وَأَنۡعَٰمٞ

عَلَيۡهَا
ٱفۡتِرَآءً
عَلَيۡهِۚ
سَيَجۡزِيهِم

They also say, ‘These cattle and crops are reserved, and only those we allow may eat them’- so they claim! There are some animals they exempt from labour and some over which they do not pronounce God’s name [during slaughter], falsely attributing these [regulations] to Him: He will repay them for the falsehoods they invent.

Chapter 6, Page 146, Juz 8

136. They apportion to God a share of the produce and the livestock He created, saying, ‘This is for God’- so they claim!- ‘ and this is for our idols.’ Their idols’ share does not reach God, but God’s share does reach their idols: how badly they judge! 137. In the same way, their idols have induced many of the pagans to kill their own children, bringing them ruin and confusion in their faith: if God had willed otherwise they would not have done this, so [Prophet] leave them to their own devices. 138. They also say, ‘These cattle and crops are reserved, and only those we allow may eat them’- so they claim! There are some animals they exempt from labour and some over which they do not pronounce God’s name [during slaughter], falsely attributing these [regulations] to Him: He will repay them for the falsehoods they invent. 139. They also say, ‘The contents of these animals’ wombs will be reserved solely for our men and forbidden to our women, though if the offspring is stillborn they may have a share of it.’ He will punish them for what they attribute to Him: He is all wise, all aware. 140. Lost indeed are those who kill their own children out of folly, with no basis in knowledge, forbidding what God has provided for them, fabricating lies against Him: they have gone far astray and have heeded no guidance.
