Translation of Verse 168-176

168. O humanity! Eat from what is lawful and good on the earth and do not follow Satan's footsteps. He is truly your sworn enemy.

169. He only incites you to commit evil and indecency, and to claim against Allah what you do not know.

170. When it is said to them, "Follow what Allah has revealed," they reply, "No! We ˹only˺ follow what we found our forefathers practicing." ˹Would they still do so,˺ even if their forefathers had ˹absolutely˺ no understanding or guidance?

171. The example of the disbelievers ˹not responding to the Messenger's warning˺ is like a flock not comprehending the calls and cries of the shepherd. ˹They are wilfully˺ deaf, dumb and blind so they have no understanding.

172. O believers! Eat from the good things We have provided for you. And give thanks to Allah if you ˹truly˺ worship Him ˹alone˺.

173. He has only forbidden you ˹to eat˺ carrion, blood, swine, 54 and what is slaughtered in the name of any other than Allah. But if someone is compelled by necessity-neither driven by desire nor exceeding immediate need-they will not be sinful. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

174. Indeed, those who hide Allah's revelations, trading them for a fleeting gain consume nothing but fire into their bellies. Allah will neither speak to them on the Day of Judgment, nor will He purify them. And they will suffer a painful punishment.

175. They are the ones who trade guidance for misguidance and forgiveness for punishment. How persistent are they in pursuit of the Fire!

176. That is because Allah has revealed the Book in truth. And surely those who differ regarding it are totally engrossed in opposition.


Commentary

54. Eating pork is forbidden in the Old Testament in Leviticus 11:7-8 and Deuteronomy 14:8.
