وَمَا And what wamā for you lakum that not allā you eat takulū of what mimmā has been mentioned dhukira (the) name us'mu (of) Allah l-lahi on it ʿalayhi when indeed waqad He (has) explained in detail faṣṣala to you lakum what mā He (has) forbidden ḥarrama to you ʿalaykum except illā what mā you are compelled uḍ'ṭurir'tum to it ilayhi And indeed wa-inna many kathīran surely lead astray layuḍillūna by their (vain) desires bi-ahwāihim without bighayri knowledge ʿil'min Indeed inna your Lord rabbaka He huwa (is) most knowing aʿlamu of the transgressors bil-muʿ'tadīna
And why should you not eat of that upon which the name of Allāh has been mentioned while He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelled.1 And indeed do many lead [others] astray through their [own] inclinations without knowledge. Indeed, your Lord - He is most knowing of the transgressors.
