حُرِّمَتْ

الْمَيْتَةُ

بِهِ
وَالْمُنْخَنِقَةُ
وَالْمَوْقُوذَةُ

النُّصُبِ
وَأَن
تَسْتَقْسِمُوا
بِالْأَزْلَامِ
ذَلِكُمْ
فِسْقٌ
الْيَوْمَ
يَئِسَ
الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
مِن
دِينِكُمْ
فَلَا
تَخْشَوْهُمْ
وَاخْشَوْنِ
الْيَوْمَ
أَكْمَلْتُ
لَكُمْ
دِينَكُمْ
وَأَتْمَمْتُ
عَلَيْكُمْ
نِعْمَتِي
وَرَضِيتُ
لَكُمُ
الْإِسْلَامَ

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.
— Abdullah Yusufali
You are prohibited carrion, blood, the flesh of swine, and what has been offered to other than Allah, and the animal strangled or beaten to death, and that which dies by falling or is gored to death, and that which is mangled by a beast of prey—barring that which you may purify —and what is sacrificed on stone altars [to idols], and that you should divide by raffling with arrows. All that is transgression. Today the faithless have despaired of your religion. So do not fear them, but fear Me. Today I have perfected your religion for you, and I have completed My blessing upon you, and I have approved Islam as your religion. But should anyone be compelled by hunger, without inclining to sin, then Allah is indeed all-forgiving, all-merciful.
