ch Allah has provided for you, lawful and
good; and be grateful for the favours of Allah, if it is He Whom ye

Y: He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of
swine, and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has been
invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful

S: A little enjoyment and they shall have a painful punishment.

Y: To the Jews We prohibited such things as We have mentioned to thee
before: We did them no wrong, but they were used to doing wrong to
themselves.

P: And unto those who are Jews We have forbidden that which We have
already related unto thee. And We wronged them not, but they were wont
to wrong themselves.

S: And for those who were
