Al-An'am 6:121 ولا تاكلوا مما لم يذكر اسم الله عليه وانه لفسق وان الشياطين ليوحون الى اوليايهم ليجادلوكم وان اطعتموهم انكم لمشركون ١٢١

6:121
وَلَا
تَأۡكُلُواْ
مِمَّا
لَمۡ
يُذۡكَرِ
ٱسۡمُ
ٱللَّهِ
عَلَيۡهِ
وَإِنَّهُۥ
لَفِسۡقٞۗ
وَإِنَّ
ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ
لَيُوحُونَ
إِلَىٰٓ
أَوۡلِيَآئِهِمۡ
لِيُجَٰدِلُوكُمۡۖ
وَإِنۡ
أَطَعۡتُمُوهُمۡ
إِنَّكُمۡ
لَمُشۡرِكُونَ

Eat not of (meats) on which Allah's name hath not been pronounced: That would be impiety. But the evil ones ever inspire their friends to contend with you if ye were to obey them, ye would indeed be Pagans.

Chapter 6, Page 143, Juz 8

116. Wert thou to follow the common run of those on earth, they will lead thee away from the way of Allah. They follow nothing but conjecture: they do nothing but lie. 117. Thy Lord knoweth best who strayeth from His way: He knoweth best who they are that receive His guidance. 118. So eat of (meats) on which Allah's name hath been pronounced, if ye have faith in His signs. 119. Why should ye not eat of (meats) on which Allah's name hath been pronounced, when He hath explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you - except under compulsion of necessity? But many do mislead (men) by their appetites unchecked by knowledge. Thy Lord knoweth best those who transgress. 120. Eschew all sin, open or secret: those who earn sin will get due recompense for their "earnings." 121. Eat not of (meats) on which Allah's name hath not been pronounced: That would be impiety. But the evil ones ever inspire their friends to contend with you if ye were to obey them, ye would indeed be Pagans.

- A. Yusuf Ali
