[Maidah 5:96] It is lawful for you to hunt from the sea and to eat therefrom, for your benefit and that of the travellers; and hunting on land is forbidden for you while you are on the pilgrimage; and fear Allah, towards Whom you will arise. [Maidah 5:97] Allah has made the Ka’abah, the respected house, a cause for peoples survival, and the Sacred Month, and the sacrifices in the holy land, and the garlanded animals; this is so that you may be convinced that Allah knows all whatever is in the heavens and all whatever is in the earth, and that Allah is the All Knowing. [Maidah 5:98] Know well that Allah’s punishment is severe, and that Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful. [Maidah 5:99] There is no duty upon the Noble Messenger except to convey the command; and Allah knows all what you disclose and all what you hide. [Maidah 5:100] Say, “The impure (evil) and the pure (good) are not equal, even though the abundance of the impure may attract you; therefore keep fearing Allah, O men of intellect, so that you may succeed.” Section 14 [Maidah 5:101] O People who Believe! Do not ask about matters which, if disclosed to you, would be disliked by you; and if you ask about them while the Qur’an is being sent down, they will be disclosed to you; Allah has forgiven these; and Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Forbearing. [Maidah 5:102] A nation before you asked about such matters and then disbelieved in them. [Maidah 5:103] Allah has not appointed (commanded to
sacrifice) the camel with ears sliced (Bahira) or the she-camel
(Saibah)
or the she-goat (Wasilah) or the breeding camel
(Hami), but
the disbelievers fabricate lies against Allah; and most of them do not
have any sense at all. |
