That which you are promised is sure to come.You shall not escape it.
Say: 'Do all that is in your power, my people, and I will do what is in
mine. You shall before long know to whom will be the good end of the
abode. The wrongdoers shall not triumph.'
They set aside for Allah a share of what He has created of tilth and
cattle saying: 'This if for Allah'-so they pretend-'And this for our
associate-gods.' The share of their associate-gods never reachesAllah,
butAllah's share reaches their associate-gods. How ill they judge!
And thus their associate-gods have induced many polytheists to kill
their children so that they may ruin them and confuse them in their
faith. But had Allah pleased, they would not have done so. Therefore,
leave them to their false inventions.
They say 'These cattle, and these crops are forbidden. None may eat
of them save those whom we permit.' So they assert. And there are
other cattle whose backs are forbidden, and others over which they do
not pronounce the name of Allah, thus committing a sin against Him.
Allahwill punish them for their invented lies.
They also say: 'What is in the wombs of these cattle is lawful to our
males but not to our wives.' But if it is still-born, they all partake of it.
He will punish them for that which they attribute to Him. He is Wise,
Knowing.
Lost are those that in their ignorance have wantonly slain their own
children and made unlawful what Allah has given them, inventing
falsehoods aboutAllah. They have gone astray and are not guided.
It is He who brings forth gardens (with) creepers and upright (plants),
