وَمَا لَـكُمۡ اَلَّا تَاۡكُلُوۡا مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسۡمُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيۡهِ وَقَدۡ فَصَّلَ لَـكُمۡ مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اِلَّا مَا اضۡطُرِرۡتُمۡ اِلَيۡهِ ؕ وَاِنَّ كَثِيۡرًا لَّيُضِلُّوۡنَ بِاَهۡوَآٮِٕهِمۡ بِغَيۡرِعِلۡم ٍؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ اَعۡلَمُ بِالۡمُعۡتَدِيۡنَ
Wa maa la koom ul-laa tau-ko-loo mim-maa Zo-kay-ra us-mo ol-laa-hay alai hay Wa qud fus-sa-la la koom maa hur-ra-ma alai koom Il-laa maa uz-ta-rir toom elai hay
Wa in-na ka-thee-run la yo-dzil-loo-na Bay ah-waa-aiy him bay-ghai-ray il-min In-na rub-ba ka ho-wa au-la-mo bay il-moe-ta-dee-n
And what is for you that you do not eat out of that On which the name of Allah has been invoked? And surely he explained to you what was prohibited to you Except for that to which you were forced.
And surely many are misled by their fancies without knowing. Your God surely is aware of the transgressors.
