وَلَا
تَأْكُلُوا
مِمَّا
لَمْ
يُذْكَرِ
اسْمُ
اللَّهِ
عَلَيْهِ
وَإِنَّهُ
لَفِسْقٌ
وَإِنَّ
الشَّيَاطِينَ
لَيُوحُونَ
إِلَى
أَوْلِيَائِهِمْ
لِيُجَادِلُوكُمْ
وَإِنْ
أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ
إِنَّكُمْ
لَمُشْرِكُونَ
wa-lā taʾkulū mimmā lam yudhkari smu llāhi ʿalayhi wa-ʾinnahū la-fisqun wa-ʾinna sh-shayāṭīna la-yūḥūna ʾilā ʾawliyāʾihim li-yujādilūkum wa-ʾin ʾaṭaʿtumūhum ʾinnakum la-mushrikūna
Do not eat the flesh of an animal which has been slaughtered without a mention of the Name of God; it is a sinful deed. Satan teaches his friends to argue with you. If you obey them, you will certainly be idol worshippers.
