O humanity! Be mindful of your Lord Who created you from a single soul, and from it He created its mate,

They ask you, ˹O Prophet,˺ what is permissible for them ˹to eat˺. Say, “What is good and lawful. Also what is caught by your hunting animals and birds of prey which you have trained as instructed by Allah. So eat what they catch for you, but mention the
Name of Allah over it ˹first˺.” And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is swift in reckoning.

O believers! Do not let some ˹men˺ ridicule others, they may be better than them, nor let ˹some˺ women ridicule other women, they may be better than them. Do not defame one another, nor call each other by offensive nick

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Is ˹there any equal to˺ the Vigilant One Who knows what every soul commits? Yet the pagans have associated others with Allah ˹in worship˺. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “
Name them! Or do you ˹mean to˺ inform Him of something He does not know on the earth? Or are these ˹gods˺ just empty words?” In fact, the disbelievers’ falsehood has been made so appealing to them that they have been turned away from the Path. And whoever Allah leaves to stray will be left with no guide.

For every community We appointed a rite of sacrifice so that they may pronounce the

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
We have made sacrificial camels ˹and cattle˺ among the symbols of Allah, in which there is ˹much˺ good for you. So pronounce the
Name of Allah over them when they are lined up ˹for sacrifice˺. Once they have fallen ˹lifeless˺ on their sides, you may eat from their meat, and feed the needy—those who do not beg, and those who do. In this way We have subjected these ˹animals˺ to you so that you may be grateful.

˹They are˺ those who have been expelled from their homes for no reason other than proclaiming: “Our Lord is Allah.” Had Allah not repelled ˹the aggression of˺ some people by means of others, destruction would have surely claimed monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which Allah’s

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Compassionate—whichever you call, He has the Most Beautiful
Names.” Do not recite your prayers too loudly or silently, but seek a way between.
2:114 - Al-Baqarah
Verse 114
وَمَنۡ
أَظۡلَمُ
مِمَّن
مَّنَعَ
مَسَٰجِدَ
ٱللَّهِ
أَن
يُذۡكَرَ
فِيهَا
ٱسۡمُهُۥ
وَسَعَىٰ
فِي
خَرَابِهَآۚ
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ
مَا
كَانَ
لَهُمۡ
أَن
يَدۡخُلُوهَآ
إِلَّا
خَآئِفِينَۚ
لَهُمۡ
فِي
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
خِزۡيٞ
وَلَهُمۡ
فِي
ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ
عَذَابٌ
عَظِيمٞ
١١٤
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Who does more wrong than those who prevent Allah’s
Name from being mentioned in His places of worship and strive to destroy them? Such people have no right to enter these places except with fear.
1 For them is disgrace in this world, and they will suffer a tremendous punishment in the Hereafter.
6:118 - Al-An'am
Verse 118
فَكُلُواْ
مِمَّا
ذُكِرَ
ٱسۡمُ
ٱللَّهِ
عَلَيۡهِ
إِن
كُنتُم
بِـَٔايَٰتِهِۦ
مُؤۡمِنِينَ
١١٨
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
So eat only of what is slaughtered in Allah’s
Name if you truly believe in His revelations.
6:119 - Al-An'am
Verse 119
وَمَا
لَكُمۡ
أَلَّا
تَأۡكُلُواْ
مِمَّا
ذُكِرَ
ٱسۡمُ
ٱللَّهِ
عَلَيۡهِ
وَقَدۡ
فَصَّلَ
لَكُم
مَّا
حَرَّمَ
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
إِلَّا
مَا
ٱضۡطُرِرۡتُمۡ
إِلَيۡهِۗ
وَإِنَّ
كَثِيرٗا
لَّيُضِلُّونَ
بِأَهۡوَآئِهِم
بِغَيۡرِ
عِلۡمٍۚ
إِنَّ
رَبَّكَ
هُوَ
أَعۡلَمُ
بِٱلۡمُعۡتَدِينَ
١١٩
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
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.
6:121 - Al-An'am
Verse 121
وَلَا
تَأۡكُلُواْ
مِمَّا
لَمۡ
يُذۡكَرِ
ٱسۡمُ
ٱللَّهِ
عَلَيۡهِ
وَإِنَّهُۥ
لَفِسۡقٞۗ
وَإِنَّ
ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ
لَيُوحُونَ
إِلَىٰٓ
أَوۡلِيَآئِهِمۡ
لِيُجَٰدِلُوكُمۡۖ
وَإِنۡ
أَطَعۡتُمُوهُمۡ
إِنَّكُمۡ
لَمُشۡرِكُونَ
١٢١
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
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.
1 If you were to obey them, then you ˹too˺ would be polytheists.
6:138 - Al-An'am
Verse 138
وَقَالُواْ
هَٰذِهِۦٓ
أَنۡعَٰمٞ
وَحَرۡثٌ
حِجۡرٞ
لَّا
يَطۡعَمُهَآ
إِلَّا
مَن
نَّشَآءُ
بِزَعۡمِهِمۡ
وَأَنۡعَٰمٌ
حُرِّمَتۡ
ظُهُورُهَا
وَأَنۡعَٰمٞ
لَّا
يَذۡكُرُونَ
ٱسۡمَ
ٱللَّهِ
عَلَيۡهَا
ٱفۡتِرَآءً
عَلَيۡهِۚ
سَيَجۡزِيهِم
بِمَا
كَانُواْ
يَفۡتَرُونَ
١٣٨
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
They say, “These cattle and crops are reserved—none may eat them except those we permit,” so they claim. Some other cattle are exempted from labour and others are not slaughtered in Allah’s
Name—falsely attributing lies to Him. He will repay them for their lies.
7:180 - Al-A'raf
Verse 180
وَلِلَّهِ
ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ
ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ
فَٱدۡعُوهُ
بِهَاۖ
وَذَرُواْ
ٱلَّذِينَ
يُلۡحِدُونَ
فِيٓ
أَسۡمَٰٓئِهِۦۚ
سَيُجۡزَوۡنَ
مَا
كَانُواْ
يَعۡمَلُونَ

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Allah has the Most Beautiful
Names. So call upon Him by them, and keep away from those who abuse His
Names.
1 They will be punished for what they used to do.
