About the Surah

       Say: “According to the revela-tions sent to me, I don’t find any of them unlawful to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it is a dead animal, or blood which can flow, or the flesh of swine, since it is, indeed, impure (or impious), and the meat of an animal which is sacrificed for others than Allah. So, whosoever is forced out of utter necessity without willing disobedi-ence or transgression, then, indeed, your Creator is Very-Forgiving, Most Merciful (for such persons).
