يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لِلَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ
হে ঈমান্দাৰসকল! তোমালোকক আমি যি পৱিত্ৰ বস্তু প্ৰদান কৰিছো তাৰ পৰা তোমালোকে আহাৰ কৰা, আৰু আল্লাহৰ কৃতজ্ঞতা প্ৰকাশ কৰা, যদিহে তোমালোকে কেৱল তেওঁৰেই ইবাদত কৰা।
.
[2:172] O you (Yaa Ayyuha) who (Ellaziina) believe (Aamanu'), eat (Kulu') from (Min) the good things
(Toyyibaati) which (Maa) We have provided for you (Razaq'naa-kum) and (Wa) be thankful (Esh'kuru') to
GOD (Lillahi), if (In) it is HIM (Iyyaahu) you (p) are (Kuntum') worshipping (Ta'buduun).
.
📍Note:
Throughout the Quran, only four dietary articles are prohibited (6:145; 16:115). Other dietary prohibitions are the products of those who have divided themselves into sects and factions by following hadith and sunna. Prohibiting something that God has not prohibited in the name of God is another way of associating partners with God (6:121).
.
The Quran specifically prohibits four meats (2:173, 5:3, 6:142-145, and 16:112).

🪵২:১৭৩
إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ بِهِ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ
নিশ্চয় তেওঁ তোমালোকৰ ওপৰত হাৰাম কৰিছে মৃত জন্তু, তেজ, গাহৰিৰ মাংস আৰু যিটো গায়ৰুল্লাহৰ নামত জবেহ কৰা হৈছে। কিন্তু যিয়ে নিৰুপায় হৈ (অলপ ভক্ষণ কৰে) অবাধ্য বা সীমালংঘন নকৰে তেন্তে তাৰ কোনো পাপ নহ’ব। নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ ক্ষমাশীল, পৰম দয়ালু।
.
[2:173] HE (God) has only (Innamaa) outlawed (Harrama) for you (Ålai'kumu) dead animals (El'Mai'tata),
blood (Ed'Dama), the meat (Lah'ma) of pig (El'Khinziiri), and what (Wamaa) has been offered (Uhilla Bihi) to
(Li) other than GOD (Gai'ri-llahi). But (Fa) whoever (Mani) is compelled (Ed'turra) without (Gai'ra) desiring
(Baagin) nor (Walaa) trespassing (Åådin), then (Fa) there is no (Laa) sin (Ith'ma) upon him (Ålai'hi). Indeed,
GOD (Innallaha) is Forgiving (Gafuurun) and Merciful (Rahiim).
.
📍Verse/Note:
2:173 He has forbidden you: dead meat (carrion), blood, swine-flesh, and anything (not just meat) that has been dedicated to other than God (be it a person, an idol or a tomb 📍5:3). But if one is forced by necessity, neither intending disobedience, nor exceeding, it will not be a violation that hurts his own ‘self’. Indeed, God is Forgiving, Merciful.
.
6:121, 6:145-146. Ithm = A violation that drags down the ‘self’ = An act that hurts the human ‘self’ = Anything that makes it difficult to rise up = An impediment to activity = Any action that depletes individual or communal energy. Ghafarah = Helmet. Forgiveness involves protection from the detrimental effects of faults.

🪵২:১৭৪(Corrupted Religious Leaders Conceal the Quran's Miracle).
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَيَشْتَرُونَ بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا ۙ أُولَٰئِكَ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ فِي بُطُونِهِمْ إِلَّا النَّارَ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
নিশ্চয় যিসকলে আল্লাহে অৱতীৰ্ণ কৰা কিতাবৰ পৰা কিছু কথা গোপন কৰে আৰু ইয়াৰ বিনিময়ত সামান্য মূল্য গ্ৰহণ কৰে, সিহঁতে সিহঁতৰ পেটত জুইৰ বাহিৰে আন একো নাখায়। কিয়ামতৰ দিনা আল্লাহে সিহঁতৰ লগত কথা নকব আৰু সিহঁতক পৱিত্ৰও নকৰিব; আৰু সিহঁতৰ বাবে আছে যন্ত্ৰণাদায়ক শাস্তি।
.
[2:174] Indeed (Inna), those who (Ellaziina) conceal (Yak'tumuuna) what (Maa) GOD has revealed (Anzala-
llahu) of (Mina) the Book (El'Kitaabi) and (Wa) trade it for (Yash'taruuna Bi-hi) a little (Qaliilan) price
(Thamanan), those (U'laaika) are only (Maa illa) consuming (Ya'kuluuna) the Fire (En'Naara) into (Fii) their
bellies (Butuuni-him'). For (Wa) GOD (Ellahu) will not (Laa) speak to them (Yukallimu-humu) on the Day of
Resurrection (Yaw'mal' Qiyaamati), nor (Walaa) will HE purify them (Yuzakkii-him'), but (Wa) they will
have (Lahum') a painful (Aliim) punishment (Åzaabun).
.
📍Note:
Those who conceal the Book = The ones who start making their own lists of the lawful and unlawful, and thus, usurp the Divine Right of law-making. Also note that this verse clearly mentions the ongoing growth and evolution of the ‘self’ in the Hereafter. Tazkiah from Zaku= Growth = Purity from vice = Development of the ‘self’ = Self-actualization.

🪵২:১৭৫
أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلَالَةَ بِالْهُدَىٰ وَالْعَذَابَ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ فَمَا أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ
সিহঁতেই হিদায়তৰ বিনিময়ত ভ্ৰষ্টতা আৰু মাগফিৰাতৰ পৰিৱৰ্তে শাস্তি কিনি লৈছে; এতেকে জুই সহ্য কৰিবলৈ সিহঁত কিমান যে ধৈৰ্যশীল!
.
[2:175] Those (U'laaika) are the ones who (Ellaziina) have traded (Esh'tarawu') the Guidance (El'Hudaa) for
(Bi) error (Ed'Dolaalata), and (Wa) forgiveness (El'Mag'firati) for (Bi) punishment (El'Åzaaba). But (Fa) what
(Maa) is in (Ålaa) the Fire (En'Naar) is more persistent for them (As'bara-hum').
.
📍Verses/Note/combine:
174-175 This is Allah s Law regarding Hal al and Har am (5/3, 5/87, 6/119-120, 6/122, 6/146, 10/59,
16/115-116, 22/30, 66/1). Those who conceal this Law and start compiling their own lists of Hal al
and Har am, assume Divine Authority and make it a means for attaining worldly gains. Though
such people may appear to be very affluent and pious, they are preparing an inferno for themselves.
You will see that on the Day of Judgement they will not receive the blessings which flow from
adherence to the Divine Laws and their potentialities will remain unfulfilled. This will be a dreadful(pz).

🪵২:১৭৬
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ نَزَّلَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي الْكِتَابِ لَفِي شِقَاقٍ بَعِيدٍ
এয়া এইবাবেই যে, আল্লাহে সত্যসহ কিতাব অৱতীৰ্ণ কৰিছে আৰু যিসকলে কিতাব সম্বন্ধে মতভেদ সৃষ্টি কৰিছে, সিহঁত নিশ্চয় সুদূৰ মতানৈক্যত লিপ্ত।
.
[2:176] That (Zaalika) is because (Bi'anna) GOD (Ellaha) has revealed (Nazzala) the Book (El'Kitaaba) in
truth (Bil' Haqqi). And (Wa) indeed (Inna), those who (Ellaziina) dispute (Ekh'talafu') about (Fii) the Book
(El'Kitaabi) are in (Lafii) distant (Baeedi) dissension (Shiqaaqi).
.
📍Verse/Note:
2:176 This is so, because God has revealed the Book in absolute truth. And those who seek disputes in the Book, are in open schism and vehemently oppose each other.
.
4:82, 25:30. Shaqq and derivatives = To split = Fall apart = Schism = Fall into disputes = Opposition = Oppose one another = Splitting of personality = Break apart the unity = Enmity.

۞ لَيْسَ الْبِرَّ أَنْ تُوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَلَٰكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالْكِتَابِ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ وَآتَى الْمَالَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ ذَوِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَالْيَتَامَىٰ وَالْمَسَاكِينَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ وَالسَّائِلِينَ وَفِي الرِّقَابِ وَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَى الزَّكَاةَ وَالْمُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِهِمْ إِذَا عَاهَدُوا ۖ وَالصَّابِرِينَ فِي الْبَأْسَاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ وَحِينَ الْبَأْسِ ۗ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ
পূৱ বা পশ্চিম দিশত তোমালোকৰ মুখ কৰাটোৱে সৎ কাম নহয়, বৰং সৎকৰ্ম হৈছে, যি ব্যক্তিয়ে আল্লাহ, শেষ দিৱস, ফিৰিস্তাসকল, কিতাবসমূহ আৰু নবীসকলৰ প্ৰতি ঈমান আনিব আৰু সম্পদৰ প্ৰতি আসক্তি থকা সত্ত্বেও আত্মীয়-স্বজন, ইয়াতীম, অভাৱগ্ৰস্ত, মুছাফিৰ, সাহায্যপ্ৰাৰ্থী আৰু দাসমুক্তিৰ বাবে ব্যয় কৰিব আৰু চালাত প্ৰতিষ্ঠা কৰিব, যাকাত প্ৰদান কৰিব, প্ৰতিশ্ৰুতি দিলে সেইটো পূৰ্ণ কৰিব, অৰ্থ-সংকটত, দুখ-কষ্টত আৰু সংগ্ৰাম-সংকটত ধৈৰ্য ধাৰণ কৰিব। এওঁলোকেই সত্যবাদী আৰু এওঁলোকেই মুত্তাক্বী।
.
[2:177] Righteousness (El'Birra) is not (Lai'sa) to (An) turn (Tuwallu') your faces (Wujuuha-kum') towards
(Qibala) the east (El'Mash'riqi) and the west (Wal' Mag'ribi), but (Walaakinna) righteous (El'Birra) is one who
(Man') believes (Aamana) in GOD (Billahi), the Last Day (Yaw'mil' Akhiri), the Angels (El'Malaaikati), the
Book (El'Kitaabi), and (Wa) the prophets (En'Nabiyyiina); and (Wa) gives (Aataa) money (El'Maala) upon
(Ålaa) love for it (Hubbi-hi) to the relatives (Zawiil' Qur'baa), the orphans (El'Yataamaa), the poor people
(El'Masaakiina), the wayfarer (Eb'na Es'Sabiili), the beggars (Es'Saailiina), and (Wa) for (Fii) the slaves
(Er'Riqaabi); and (Wa) they establish (Aqaama) Prayer (Es'Solaata) and give (Aata) Charity (Ez'Zakaata); and
(Wa) they fulfil (El'Muufuuna Bi) their agreement (Åh'di-him) whenever (Izaa) they make an agreement
(Ååhadu'); and (Wa) they are patient (Es'Soabiriina) in (Fii) misery (El'Ba'saai), adversity (Ed'Dorraai), and
(Wa) in times (Hiina) of fear (El'Ba'si). Those (U'laaika) are the ones who (Ellaziina) are truthful (Sodaqu');
and (Wa) they (Humu) are those (U'laaika) who are the pious (El'Muttaquun).
.
📍Verse/Note:
2:177 (One consequence of this schism is their pre-occupation with rituals, with each sect leaving the revelation aside and taking delight in its own set of dogmas they call religion. 30:32) Righteousness and exponential development of the ‘self’ (‘al-Birr’) depends not on whether you turn your faces to East or West. But righteousness is that: (1) One has conviction in God, and (2) the Last Day, and (3) the Angels, and (4) the Book, and (5) the Prophets. And that one gives of his cherished wealth to: Family and relatives, orphans, widows, those left helpless in the society, and those whose hard-earned income fails to meet their basic needs, those whose running businesses have stalled, the ones who have lost their jobs, whose life has stalled for any reason, the disabled, the needy wayfarer, son of the street, the homeless, the one who travels for assistance, those who ask for help, and those whose necks are burdened with any kind of bondage, oppression, crushing debts and extreme hardship of labor. (And righteous are) those who strive to establish the institution of Salaat,(2:3, 2:153) And help set up the Economic System of Zakaat. They are true to their pledge whenever they make one. And they remain steadfast in physical or emotional distress and in times of peril. It is those who have proven themselves to be true, and it is those who live upright.

Belief in Books 4:136, 2:4, 3:91. Yateem, Miskeen, Ibn-is-Sabeel, Fir-Riqaab, carry all the meanings rendered above. Please note that this verse gives us the well-known Five Articles of Faith. But belief in Taqdeer = Predetermined destiny, has been interjected in the fabricated Ajami Ahadith as the sixth article of faith by ‘Imams’, making Muslims fatalistic in their thought and behavior. The Qur’an nowhere mentions Taqdeer or the predestined fates of individuals. Qadar or Taqdeer always denote the law, the due measure of all things appointed by God. And man determines his own destiny by following or defying those laws.
