6.141 . He it is Who produceth gardens trellised and untrellised , and the date palm , and crops of divers flavor , and the olive and the pomegranate , like and unlike . Eat ye of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth , and pay the due thereof upon the harvest day , and be not prodigal . Lo! Allah loveth not the prodigals .

6.142 . And of the cattle ( He produceth ) some for burdens , some for food . Eat of that which Allah hath bestowed upon you , and follow not the footsteps of the devil , for lo! he is an open foe to you .

6.143 . Eight pairs : Of the sheep twain , and of the goats twain . Say : Hath He forbidden the two males or the two females , or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Expound to me ( the case ) with knowledge , if ye are truthful .

6.144 . And of the camels twain and of the oxen twain . Say : Hath He forbidden the two males or the two females , or that which the wombs of the two females contain ; or were ye by to witness when Allah commanded you ( all ) this? Then who doth greater wrong than he who deviseth a lie concerning Allah , that he may lead mankind astray without knowledge . Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk .

6.145 . Say : I find not in that which is revealed unto me aught prohibited to an eater that he eat thereof , except it be carrion , or blood poured forth , or swineflesh for that verily is foul or the abomination which was immolated to the name of other than Allah . But whoso is compelled ( thereto ) , neither craving nor transgressing , ( for him ) lo ! your Lord is Forgiving , Merciful .

6.146 . Unto those who are Jews We forbade every animal with claws . And of the oxen and the sheep forbade We unto them the fat thereof save that upon the backs or the entrails , or that which is mixed with the bone . That We awarded them for their rebellion . And lot We verily are Truthful .

6.147 . So if they give the lie to thee ( Muhammad ) , say : Your Lord is a Lord of all embracing mercy , and His wrath will never be withdrawn from guilty folk .

6.148 . They who are idolaters will say : Had Allah willed , we had not ascribed ( unto Him ) partners neither had our fathers , nor had we forbidden aught . Thus did those who were before them give the lie ( to Allah ' s messengers ) till they tasted of the fear of Us . Say : Have ye any knowledge that ye can adduce for us? Lo! ye follow naught but an opinion . Lo! ye do but guess .

6.149 . Say For Allah ' s is the final argument . Had He willed He could indeed have guided all of you .

6.150 . Say : Come , bring your witnesses who can bear witness that Allah forbade ( all ) this . And if they bear witness , do not thou bear witness with them . Follow thou not the whims of those who deny Our revelations , those who believe not in the Hereafter and deem ( others ) equal with their Lord .

6.151 . Say : Come , I will recite unto you that which your Lord hath made a sacred duty for you : that ye ascribe no thing as partner unto Him and that ye do good to parents , and that ye slay not your children because of penury . We provide for you and for them and that ye draw not nigh to lewd things whether open or concealed . And that ye slay not the life which Allah hath made sacred , save in the course of justice . This He hath commanded you , in order that ye may discern .

6.152 . And approach not the wealth of the orphan save with that which is better ; till he reach maturity . Give full measure and full weight , in justice . We task not any soul beyond its scope . And if ye give your word , do justice thereunto , even though it be ( against ) a kinsman ; and fulfil the covenant of Allah . This He commandeth you that haply ye may remember .

6.153 . And ( He commandeth you , saying ) : This is My straight path , so follow it Follow not other ways , lest ye be parted from His way : This hath He ordained for you , that ye may ward off ( evil ) .

6.154 . Again , We gave the Scripture unto Moses , complete for him who would do good , an explanation of all things , a guidance and a mercy , that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord .

6.155 . And this is a blessed Scripture which We have revealed So follow it and ward off ( evil ) , that ye may find mercy

6.156 . Lest ye should say : The Scripture was revealed only to two sects before us , and we in truth were unaware of what they read ;

6.157 . Or lest ye should say : If the Scripture had been revealed unto us , we surely had been better guided than are they . Now hath there come unto you a clear proof from your Lord , a guidance and a mercy ; and who doeth greater wrong than he who denieth the revelations of Allah , and turneth away from them? We award unto those who turn away from Our revelations an evil doom because of their aversion .

6.158 . Wait they , indeed , for nothing less than that the angels should come unto them , or thy Lord should come , or there should come one of the portents from thy Lord? In the day when one of the portents from they Lord cometh , its belief availeth naught a soul which theretofore believed not , nor in its belief earned good ( by works ) . Say : Wait ye! Lo! We ( too ) are waiting .

6.159 . Lo! As for those who sunder their religion and become schismatics , no concern at all hast thou with them . Their case will go to Allah , who then will tell them what they used to do .

6.160 . Whoso bringeth a good deed will receive tenfold the like thereof , while whoso bringeth an ill deed will be awarded but the like thereof ; and they will not be wronged .
