| 96. The game of the sea and the eating thereof is made lawful for you as a provision for you and the travelers; but forbidden to you is the game of the land as long as you are in the state of Pilgrimage. And fear ALLAH to whom you shall be gathered. 97. ALLAH has made the Ka'bah the Sacred House, a means of support and uplift for mankind, as also the Sacred Month and the offerings and the animals with collars. That is so that you may know that ALLAH knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, and that ALLAH knows all things well. 98. Know that ALLAH is Severe in punishment and that ALLAH is also Most Forgiving and ever Merciful. 99. On the Messenger lies only the conveying of the Message. And ALLAH knows what you disclose and what you hide. 100. Say, `The bad and the good are not alike,' even though the abundance of bad may please thee. So be mindful of your duty to ALLAH, O men of understanding, that you may prosper. 101. O ye who believe ! ask not about things which, if revealed to you, would cause you trouble, though if you ask about them while the Qur'an is being sent down they will be revealed to you. ALLAH has left them out on purpose. And ALLAH is Most Forgiving and Forbearing. 102. A people before you asked about such things, but then they became disbelievers therein. 103. ALLAH has not ordained any `Bahira' or `Sa'ibah' or Wasilah' or `Hami' but those who disbelieve forge a lie against ALLAH, and most of them do not make use of their understanding. |
