Verses 120-124Verses 115-119

      Following the verses about the lawful and clean good food, created for Man to eat; mention is made of food-stuff that are unclean and forbidden:ِ

      The first of the above group of verses (NO.115) implies that Allah has forbidden only four articles of food, which are;

1) dead meat (CARRION). 2) blood. 3) flesh of swine. 4) that which has been consecrated to other than Allah.

      For the reasons of the above prohibitions please refer to volume one, page 183 of this book.

      The said four articles of food that are forbidden, are the roots and main food-stuff in this respect; but there are also others among the land, air, and sea creatures, that are forbidden to eat in the sight of Islam.

      But even the forbidden food-stuff can be served in the emergency cases; where Man is compelled to eat, and who has not the intention of continuing with the food.

      Then a warning has been given to Man, in that, he should not create taboos for selfish ends, and enforce them in the name of Allah by imagination and caprices; saying this is lawful, and that is unlawful:ِ

      ``And do not say by falsely turning your tongues; this is lawful, and that is unlawful, thus forging lie against Allah; that those who forge lie against Allah, will not prosper.''

      Such a liar may have a little enjoyment, down here in this world; but very soon a painful punishment would follow their enjoyment.

      Carrion is dead meat, or the carcass of cattle that it is not officially and religiously slaughtered for market, with pronouncing Allah's name on them.

      The next verse (NO.118) implies that some of the prohibitions to the Israelites was a punishment for their hardness of heart, and not a favour. Due to their inequities and oppressions, and their hindering people from the straight path of truth, they themselves were prevented the use of some good things that were formerly lawful to them.

      And in the last verse (NO.119) Allah leaves open the doors of repentance and amendment for those who seek to get rid of misery and misfortune. Those who did evil deeds through ignorance, but repented and returned, and stationed among the righteous, they will find Allah All-forgiving, Compassionate.
