Say, “I do not find in what has been revealed to me Anything prohibited upon an eater what he eats Except that it has been dead or blood shed Or the flesh of swine,
Surely all that is impiety or profanity,
Sacrificed with it is for anyone other than Allah.
Therefore, whoever is forced,
Other than rebelling and not exceeding limits,
Then will find that your GOD is the Most Forging, the Mot Merciful.”
