Arabic Qur'an with English Translation
Chapter 5: Al-Maidah
[3] Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat,
blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the
name of other than Allah; that which hath been killed by strangling,
or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to
death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless
ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed
on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by
raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who
reject Faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not
but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you,
completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your
religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to
transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
