✦ The Holy Quran ✦
Timeless wisdom and guidance from the Holy Quran. Each verse is a reminder, a comfort, and a light.
يٰأَيُّهَا النّاسُ كُلوا مِمّا فِى الأَرضِ حَلٰلًا طَيِّبًا وَلا تَتَّبِعوا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّيطٰنِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُم عَدُوٌّ مُبينٌ
O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.
إِنَّما حَرَّمَ عَلَيكُمُ المَيتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحمَ الخِنزيرِ وَما أُهِلَّ بِهِ لِغَيرِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَمَنِ اضطُرَّ غَيرَ باغٍ وَلا عادٍ فَلا إِثمَ عَلَيهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ
He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
وَمُصَدِّقًا لِما بَينَ يَدَىَّ مِنَ التَّورىٰةِ وَلِأُحِلَّ لَكُم بَعضَ الَّذى حُرِّمَ عَلَيكُم ۚ وَجِئتُكُم بِـٔايَةٍ مِن رَبِّكُم فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعونِ
And [I have come] confirming what was before me of the Torah and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. And I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear Allah and obey me.
۞ كُلُّ الطَّعامِ كانَ حِلًّا لِبَنى إِسرٰءيلَ إِلّا ما حَرَّمَ إِسرٰءيلُ عَلىٰ نَفسِهِ مِن قَبلِ أَن تُنَزَّلَ التَّورىٰةُ ۗ قُل فَأتوا بِالتَّورىٰةِ فَاتلوها إِن كُنتُم صٰدِقينَ
All food was lawful to the Children of Israel except what Israel had made unlawful to himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, [O Muhammad], "So bring the Torah and recite it, if you should be truthful."
فَبِظُلمٍ مِنَ الَّذينَ هادوا حَرَّمنا عَلَيهِم طَيِّبٰتٍ أُحِلَّت لَهُم وَبِصَدِّهِم عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ كَثيرًا
For wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We made unlawful for them [certain] good foods which had been lawful to them, and for their averting from the way of Allah many [people],
وَأَخذِهِمُ الرِّبوٰا۟ وَقَد نُهوا عَنهُ وَأَكلِهِم أَموٰلَ النّاسِ بِالبٰطِلِ ۚ وَأَعتَدنا لِلكٰفِرينَ مِنهُم عَذابًا أَليمًا
And [for] their taking of usury while they had been forbidden from it, and their consuming of the people's wealth unjustly. And we have prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ يٰأَيُّهَا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا أَوفوا بِالعُقودِ ۚ أُحِلَّت لَكُم بَهيمَةُ الأَنعٰمِ إِلّا ما يُتلىٰ عَلَيكُم غَيرَ مُحِلِّى الصَّيدِ وَأَنتُم حُرُمٌ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحكُمُ ما يُريدُ
O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts. Lawful for you are the animals of grazing livestock except for that which is recited to you [in this Qur'an] - hunting not being permitted while you are in the state of ihram. Indeed, Allah ordains what He intends.
يَسـَٔلونَكَ ماذا أُحِلَّ لَهُم ۖ قُل أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّيِّبٰتُ ۙ وَما عَلَّمتُم مِنَ الجَوارِحِ مُكَلِّبينَ تُعَلِّمونَهُنَّ مِمّا عَلَّمَكُمُ اللَّهُ ۖ فَكُلوا مِمّا أَمسَكنَ عَلَيكُم وَاذكُرُوا اسمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيهِ ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَريعُ الحِسابِ
They ask you, [O Muhammad], what has been made lawful for them. Say, "Lawful for you are [all] good foods and [game caught by] what you have trained of hunting animals which you train as Allah has taught you. So eat of what they catch for you, and mention the name of Allah upon it, and fear Allah." Indeed, Allah is swift in account.
اليَومَ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّيِّبٰتُ ۖ وَطَعامُ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتٰبَ حِلٌّ لَكُم وَطَعامُكُم حِلٌّ لَهُم ۖ وَالمُحصَنٰتُ مِنَ المُؤمِنٰتِ وَالمُحصَنٰتُ مِنَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتٰبَ مِن قَبلِكُم إِذا ءاتَيتُموهُنَّ أُجورَهُنَّ مُحصِنينَ غَيرَ مُسٰفِحينَ وَلا مُتَّخِذى أَخدانٍ ۗ وَمَن يَكفُر بِالإيمٰنِ فَقَد حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ وَهُوَ فِى الءاخِرَةِ مِنَ الخٰسِرينَ
This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
وَتَرىٰ كَثيرًا مِنهُم يُسٰرِعونَ فِى الإِثمِ وَالعُدوٰنِ وَأَكلِهِمُ السُّحتَ ۚ لَبِئسَ ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ
And you see many of them hastening into sin and aggression and the devouring of [what is] unlawful. How wretched is what they have been doing.
