Translation of Verse 111-121

111. Even if We had sent them the angels, made the dead speak to them, and assembled before their own eyes every sign ˹they demanded˺, they still would not have believed-unless Allah so willed. But most of them are ignorant ˹of this˺.

112. And so We have made for every prophet enemies-devilish humans and jinn-whispering to one another with elegant words of deception. Had it been your Lord's Will, they would not have done such a thing. So leave them and their deceit,

113. so that the hearts of those who disbelieve in the Hereafter may be receptive to it, be pleased with it, and be persistent in their evil pursuits.

114. ˹Say, O Prophet,˺ "Should I seek a judge other than Allah while He is the One Who has revealed for you the Book ˹with the truth˺ perfectly explained?" Those who were given the Scripture know that it has been revealed ˹to you˺ from your Lord in truth. So do not be one of those who doubt.

115. The Word of your Lord has been perfected in truth and justice. None can change His Words. And He is the All-Hearing, All- Knowing.

116. ˹O Prophet!˺ If you were to obey most of those on earth, they would lead you away from Allah's Way. They follow nothing but assumptions and do nothing but lie.

117. Indeed, your Lord knows best who has strayed from His Way and who is ˹rightly˺ guided.

118. So eat only of what is slaughtered in Allah's Name if you truly believe in His revelations.

119. Why should you not eat of what is slaughtered in Allah's Name when He has already explained to you what He has forbidden to you-except when compelled by necessity? Many ˹deviants˺ certainly mislead others by their whims out of ignorance. Surely your Lord knows the transgressors best.

120. Shun all sin-open and secret. Indeed, those who commit sin will be punished for what they earn.

121. Do not eat of what is not slaughtered in Allah's Name. For that would certainly be ˹an act of˺ disobedience. Surely the devils whisper to their ˹human˺ associates to argue with you. ²⁹² If you were to obey them, then you ˹too˺ would be polytheists.

Commentary

292. Because Muslims are allowed to eat the meat of animals slaughtered properly and not carrion, the pagans of Mecca used to argue, "Why are you only allowed to eat what you yourselves kill but not what Allah causes to die?"
