Timeless wisdom and guidance from the Holy Quran. Each verse is a reminder, a comfort, and a light.
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 الخٰسِرينَ٥
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 يَعمَلونَ٦٢
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.
لَولا يَنهىٰهُمُ الرَّبّٰنِيّونَ وَالأَحبارُ عَن قَولِهِمُ الإِثمَ وَأَكلِهِمُ السُّحتَ ۚ لَبِئسَ ما كانوا يَصنَعونَ٦٣
Why do the rabbis and religious scholars not forbid them from saying what is sinful and devouring what is unlawful? How wretched is what they have been practicing.
يٰأَيُّهَا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا لا تُحَرِّموا طَيِّبٰتِ ما أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكُم وَلا تَعتَدوا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُحِبُّ المُعتَدينَ٨٧
O you who have believed, do not prohibit the good things which Allah has made lawful to you and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like transgressors.
وَكُلوا مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ حَلٰلًا طَيِّبًا ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذى أَنتُم بِهِ مُؤمِنونَ٨٨
And eat of what Allah has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And fear Allah, in whom you are believers.
لَيسَ عَلَى الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جُناحٌ فيما طَعِموا إِذا مَا اتَّقَوا وَءامَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ثُمَّ اتَّقَوا وَءامَنوا ثُمَّ اتَّقَوا وَأَحسَنوا ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ المُحسِنينَ٩٣
There is not upon those who believe and do righteousness [any] blame concerning what they have eaten [in the past] if they [now] fear Allah and believe and do righteous deeds, and then fear Allah and believe, and then fear Allah and do good; and Allah loves the doers of good.
أُحِلَّ لَكُم صَيدُ البَحرِ وَطَعامُهُ مَتٰعًا لَكُم وَلِلسَّيّارَةِ ۖ وَحُرِّمَ عَلَيكُم صَيدُ البَرِّ ما دُمتُم حُرُمًا ۗ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذى إِلَيهِ تُحشَرونَ٩٦
Lawful to you is game from the sea and its food as provision for you and the travelers, but forbidden to you is game from the land as long as you are in the state of ihram. And fear Allah to whom you will be gathered.
وَما لَكُم أَلّا تَأكُلوا مِمّا ذُكِرَ اسمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيهِ وَقَد فَصَّلَ لَكُم ما حَرَّمَ عَلَيكُم إِلّا مَا اضطُرِرتُم إِلَيهِ ۗ وَإِنَّ كَثيرًا لَيُضِلّونَ بِأَهوائِهِم بِغَيرِ عِلمٍ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعلَمُ بِالمُعتَدينَ١١٩
And why should you not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned while He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelled. And indeed do many lead [others] astray through their [own] inclinations without knowledge. Indeed, your Lord - He is most knowing of the transgressors.
وَقالوا هٰذِهِ أَنعٰمٌ وَحَرثٌ حِجرٌ لا يَطعَمُها إِلّا مَن نَشاءُ بِزَعمِهِم وَأَنعٰمٌ حُرِّمَت ظُهورُها وَأَنعٰمٌ لا يَذكُرونَ اسمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيهَا افتِراءً عَلَيهِ ۚ سَيَجزيهِم بِما كانوا يَفتَرونَ١٣٨
And they say, "These animals and crops are forbidden; no one may eat from them except whom we will," by their claim. And there are those [camels] whose backs are forbidden [by them] and those upon which the name of Allah is not mentioned - [all of this] an invention of untruth about Him. He will punish them for what they were inventing.
قَد خَسِرَ الَّذينَ قَتَلوا أَولٰدَهُم سَفَهًا بِغَيرِ عِلمٍ وَحَرَّموا ما رَزَقَهُمُ اللَّهُ افتِراءً عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ قَد ضَلّوا وَما كانوا مُهتَدينَ١٤٠
Those will have lost who killed their children in foolishness without knowledge and prohibited what Allah had provided for them, inventing untruth about Allah. They have gone astray and were not [rightly] guided.
