Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
P: Forbidden unto you (for food) are carrion and blood and swineflesh,
and that which hath been dedicated unto any other than Allah, and the
strangled, and the dead through beating, and the dead through falling
from a height, and that which hath been killed by (the goring of)
horns, and the devoured of wild beasts, saving that which ye make
lawful (by the death-stroke), and that which hath been immolated unto
idols. And (forbidden is it) that ye swear by the divining arrows. This
is an abomination. This day are those who disbelieve in despair of
(ever harming) your religion; so fear them not, fear Me! This day have
I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour unto you, and
have chosen for you as religion al-Islam. Whoso is forced by hunger,
not by will, to sin: (for him) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
S: Forbidden to you is that which dies of itself, and blood, and flesh
of swine, and that on which any other name than that of Allah has been
invoked, and the strangled (animal) and that beaten to death, and that
killed by a fall and that killed by being smitten with the horn, and
that which wild beasts have eaten, except what you slaughter, and what
is sacrificed on stones set up (for idols) and that you divide by the
arrows; that is a transgression. This day have those who disbelieve
despaired of your religion, so fear them not, and fear Me. This day
have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you
and chosen for you Islam as a religion; but whoever is compelled by
hunger, not inclining willfully to sin, then surely Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful.

Y: They ask thee what is lawful to them (as food). Say: lawful unto you
are (all) things good and pure: and what ye have taught your trained
hunting animals (to catch) in the manner directed to you by Allah: eat
what they catch for you, but pronounce the name of Allah over it: and
fear Allah; for Allah is swift in taking account.
P: They ask thee (O Muhammad) what is made lawful for them. Say: (all)
good things are made lawful for you. And those beasts and birds of prey
which ye have trained as hounds are trained, ye teach them that which
Allah taught you; so eat of that which they catch for you and mention
Allah's name upon it, and observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is
swift to take account.
S: They ask you as to what is allowed to them. Say: The good things are
allowed to you, and what you have taught the beasts and birds of prey,
training them to hunt-- you teach them of what Allah has taught you--
so eat of that which they catch for you and mention the name of Allah
over it; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is swift
in reckoning.
