6.141 - And it is He Who established trellised gardens and untrellised (gardens) and palm trees and plants of different food, and olives and pomegranates, similar and dissimilar. Eat of its produce when it yields, and give its due on its harvest day. And do not act extravagantly; indeed, He does not love the extravagant. 6.142 - And of the cattle are carriers and covering. Eat of what Allah has provided for you and do not follow the footsteps of the devil; indeed he is to you a clear enemy. 6.143 - Eight pairs, of the lamb, two; and of the goats, two. Say: Is it the two males He has prohibited or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Inform me with knowledge if you should be truthful. 6.144 - And of the camels, two, and of the cows, two. Say: Is it the two males He has prohibited or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Or were you witnesses when Allah enjoined you with this? So who is more unjust than one who forges against Allah lies to mislead the people without knowledge? Indeed, Allah does not guide the unjust people. 6.145 - Say: I do not find in that which has been revealed to me prohibited to one who would eat except it be dead, or blood spilled out, or the flesh of swine; for indeed, it is defilement or disobedience dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced while neither desiring nor transgressing, then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving, Merciful. 6.146 - And to those who are Jews We prohibited every animal of claw. And of the cows and the sheep We prohibited to them their fat, except what is carried on their backs or the entrails or what is mixed with bones. That was how We rewarded them for their transgression. And indeed, We are Truthful. 6.147 - And if they deny you, then say: Your Lord is the Possessor of vast mercy; but His wrath cannot be repelled from the criminal people. 6.148 - Those who have associated (others) will say: If Allah had willed we would not have associated and neither would our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything. Likewise did those before them deny until they tasted Our wrath. Say: Do you have any knowledge that you can bring it to us? Indeed, you only follow conjectures, and you are only mute. 6.149 - Say: With Allah is the conclusive argument; and if He had willed, He would have guided you all. 6.150 - Say: Bring your witnesses who should testify that Allah has prohibited this. And if they testify, then do not testify with them. And do not follow the desires of those who denied Our signs and those who do not believe in the hereafter while they equate (others) with their Lord.
