Prohibited on you is to eat The Dead and the blood, and the flesh of swine, And that with it is sacrificed for other than Allah,
And the Strangled, and the Bludgeoned, And the Fallen, and the Pierced, And what wild animals ate except what you have cleansed;
And what has been sacrificed for the idols And that you divide with the arrows All this for you is miscreancy.
As of today, those who disbelieved in your religion have lost all hope So do not fear them, but fear Me.
As of today, I have perfected your religion for you And I have completed My favor upon you And I have approved for you Iss-laam (= Islam) as the religion
Then anyone forced into a dilemma Without being inclined for sin will find that Then Allah is the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
