Chapter 6, Page 142, Juz 8

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. If you were to obey them, then you ˹too˺ would be polytheists.
