Ya ayyuha alnnasu kuloo mimma fee al-ardi halalan tayyiban wala tattabiAAoo khutuwati alshshaytani innahu lakum AAaduwwun mubeenun\n168. O ye people!\n Eat of what is on earth,\n Lawful and good;\n And do not follow\n The footsteps of the Evil One,\n For he is to you\n An avowed enemy.\n169. Innama ya/murukum bialssoo-i waalfahsha-i waan taqooloo AAala Allahi ma la taAAlamoona\n169. For he commands you\n What is evil\n And shameful,\n And that ye should say\n Of God that of which\n Ye have no knowledge.\n170. Wa-itha qeela lahumu ittabiAAoo ma anzala Allahu qaloo bal nattabiAAu ma alfayna AAalayhi abaana awa law kana abaohum la yaAAqiloona shay-an wala yahtadoona\n170. When it is said to them:\n \"Follow what God hath revealed:\"\n They say: \"Nay! we shall follow\n The ways of our fathers.\"\n What! even though their fathers\n Were void of wisdom and guidance?\n171. Wamathalu allatheena kafaroo kamathali allathee yanAAiqu bima la yasmaAAu illa duAAaan wanidaan summun bukmun AAumyun fahum la yaAAqiloona\n171. The parable of those\n Who reject Faith is\n As if one were to shout\n Like a goat-herd, to things\n That listen to nothing\n But calls and cries:\n Deaf, dumb, and blind,\n They are void of wisdom.\n172. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo kuloo min tayyibati ma razaqnakum waoshkuroo lillahi in kuntum iyyahu taAAbudoona\n172.\n173. Innama harrama AAalaykumu almaytata waalddama walahma alkhinzeeri wama ohilla bihi lighayri Allahi famani idturra ghayra baghin wala AAadin fala ithma AAalayhi inna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun\n173. He hath only forbidden you\n Dead meat, and blood,\n And the flesh of swine,\n And that on which\nAny other name hath been invoked\n Besides that of God.\n But if one is forced by necessity,\n Without wilful disobedience,\n Nor transgressing due limits,\u2014\n Then is he guiltless.\n For God is Oft-forgiving\n Most Merciful.\n174. Inna allatheena yaktumoona ma anzala Allahu mina alkitabi wayashtaroona bihi thamanan qaleelan ola-ika ma ya/kuloona fee butoonihim illa alnnara wala yukallimuhumu Allahu yawma alqiyamati wala yuzakkeehim walahum AAathabun aleemun\n174. Those who conceal\n God's revelations in the Book,\n And purchase for them\n A miserable profit,\u2014\n They swallow into themselves\n Naught but Fire;\n God will not address them\n On the Day of Resurrection,\n Nor purify them:\n Grievous will be\n Their Penalty.\n175. Ola-ika allatheena ishtarawoo alddalalata bialhuda waalAAathaba bialmaghfirati fama asbarahum AAala alnnari\n175. They are the ones\n Who buy Error\n In place of Guidance\n And Torment in place\n Of Forgiveness.\n Ah! what boldness\n (They show) for the Fire!\n176. Thalika bi-anna Allaha nazzala alkitaba bialhaqqi wa-inna allatheena ikhtalafoo fee alkitabi lafee shiqaqin baAAeedin\n176. (Their doom is) because\n God sent down the Book\n In truth but those who seek\n Causes of dispute in the Book\nAre in a schism\n Far (from the purpose).","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra II.: Baqara, or the Heifer.: Section 21 (168-176)","type":"page"}
