And surely there came to them a messenger from among themselves, but they belied him, so the punishment seized them, while they were transgressing.

So, eat the permissible and pure from what Allah has provided you with, and be grateful for the bounty of Allah, if you worship Him alone.

He has but prohibited for you the carrion, the blood, the flesh of swine and what has been invoked upon with a name other than that of Allah. However, if anyone is compelled by necessity - neither desiring, nor crossing the limit (of necessity) - then, Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.

And We gave him good in this world; and in the Hereafter, he is among the righteous.
