6.141 . He it is Who produceth gardens trellised and untrellised , and the date palm , and crops of divers flavor , and the olive and the pomegranate , like and unlike . Eat ye of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth , and pay the due thereof upon the harvest day , and be not prodigal . Lo! Allah loveth not the prodigals .
6. 6.142 . And of the cattle ( He produceth ) some for burdens , some for food . Eat of that which Allah hath bestowed upon you , and follow not the footsteps of the devil , for lo! he is an open foe to you .
6. 6.143 . Eight pairs : Of the sheep twain , and of the goats twain . Say : Hath He forbidden the two males or the two females , or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Expound to me ( the case ) with knowledge , if ye are truthful .
6. 6.144 . And of the camels twain and of the oxen twain . Say : Hath He forbidden the two males or the two females , or that which the wombs of the two females contain ; or were ye by to witness when Allah commanded you ( all ) this? Then who doth greater wrong than he who deviseth a lie concerning Allah , that he may lead mankind astray without knowledge . Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk .
6. 6.145 . Say : I find not in that which is revealed unto me aught prohibited to an eater that he eat thereof , except it be carrion , or blood poured forth , or swineflesh for that verily is foul or the abomination which was immolated to the name of other than Allah . But whoso is compelled ( thereto ) , neither craving nor transgressing , ( for him ) lo ! your Lord is Forgiving , Merciful .
6. 6.146 . Unto those who are Jews We forbade every animal with claws . And of the oxen and the sheep forbade We unto them the fat thereof save that upon the backs or the entrails , or that which is mixed with the bone . That We awarded them for their rebellion . And lot We verily are Truthful .
6. 6.147 . So if they give the lie to thee ( Muhammad ) , say : Your Lord is a Lord of all embracing mercy , and His wrath will never be withdrawn from guilty folk .
6. 6.148 . They who are idolaters will say : Had Allah willed , we had not ascribed ( unto Him ) partners neither had our fathers , nor had we forbidden aught . Thus did those who were before them give the lie ( to Allah ' s messengers ) till they tasted of the fear of Us . Say : Have ye any knowledge that ye can adduce for us? Lo! ye follow naught but an opinion . Lo! ye do but guess .
6. 6.149 . Say For Allah ' s is the final argument . Had He willed He could indeed have guided all of you .
6. 6.150 . Say : Come , bring your witnesses who can bear witness that Allah forbade ( all ) this . And if they bear witness , do not thou bear witness with them . Follow thou not the whims of those who deny Our revelations , those who believe not in the Hereafter and deem ( others ) equal with their Lord .
