˹O Prophet!˺ If you were to obey most of those on earth, they would lead you away from Allah’s Way. They follow nothing but assumptions and do nothing but lie.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

6:117

١١٧

Indeed, your Lord knows best who has strayed from His Way and who is ˹rightly˺ guided.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

6:118

١١٨

So eat only of what is slaughtered in Allah’s Name if you truly believe in His revelations.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

6:119

١١٩

Why should you not eat of what is slaughtered in Allah’s Name when He has already explained to you what He has forbidden to you—except when compelled by necessity? Many ˹deviants˺ certainly mislead others by their whims out of ignorance. Surely your Lord knows the transgressors best.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

6:120

١٢٠

Shun all sin—open and secret. Indeed, those who commit sin will be punished for what they earn.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

6:121

١٢١

Do not eat of what is not slaughtered in Allah’s Name. For that would certainly be ˹an act of˺ disobedience. Surely the devils whisper to their ˹human˺ associates to argue with you.¹ If you were to obey them, then you ˹too˺ would be polytheists.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

6:122

١٢٢

Can those who had been dead, to whom We gave life and a light with which they can walk among people, be compared to those in complete darkness from which they can never emerge?¹ That is how the misdeeds of the disbelievers have been made appealing to them.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

6:123

١٢٣

And so We have placed in every society the most wicked to conspire in it. Yet they plot only against themselves, but they fail to perceive it.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

6:124

١٢٤

Whenever a sign comes to them, they say, “We will never believe until we receive what Allah’s messengers received.” Allah knows best where to place His message. The wicked will soon be overwhelmed by humiliation from Allah and a severe punishment for their evil plots.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

6:125

١٢٥

Whoever Allah wills to guide, He opens their heart to Islam.¹ But whoever He wills to leave astray, He makes their chest tight and constricted as if they were climbing up into the sky. This is how Allah dooms those who disbelieve.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
