About the Surah

       Following are unlawful for you for food. The dead animals, blood, the meat of pig, and that which is dedicated to others than Allah (i.e. on which Allah’s Name has not been mentioned while slaughter-ing), and that which has been killed by strangling, or beaten to death, or died after falling from a height, or killed by the goring of horns, and that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild animal, unless you are able to (Islamically) slaughter it (before its death), and that which is slaughtered at place of idols. It is also unlawful to seek luck or a decision using arrows or dices. All that is disobedience of Allah and sin. Today (i.e. now) the disbeliev-ers have lost all hopes (to overcome or suppress) your religion. (Since Islam has a good standing now). Hence, don’t fear the disbelievers (that they may suppress your re-ligion), rather fear Me (i.e. don’t disobey my regulations). Today I have perfected your religion for you (in every respect) and I have com-pleted My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. So if someone is forced by extreme hunger with no inclination to commit a sin, then surely, Allah is Very-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
