Sura Al-Ma'ida (Arabic: سورة المائدة, Sūratu al-Mā'idah, "The Table" or "The Table Spread with Food") is the fifth chapter of the Qur'an, with 120 verses. It is a Madinan sura. The sura's main topics are Isa (Jesus') and Musa's (Moses) missions, as well as the claim that their messages are distorted by non-believing Jews and Christians.
It begins by specifying which animals are forbidden and which are permissible to consume. These are verse 1 and verse 3.
(1) O ye who believe! fulfil (all) obligations. Lawful unto you (for
food) are all four-footed animals, with the exceptions named: But
animals of the chase are forbidden while ye are in the sacred precincts
or in pilgrim garb: for Allah doth command according to His will and
plan.
(3) Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of
swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah.
that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a
headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been
(partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in
due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also
is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This
day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet
fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for
you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your
religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to
transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
Sahih International
[The
Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My
favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with
the Pure Spirit and you spoke to the people in the cradle
and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and
wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed
from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My
permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird
with My permission; and you healed the blind and the leper
with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with
My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel
from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs
and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but
obvious magic."
