ولا تاكلوا مما لم يذكر اسم الله عليه وانه لفسق وان الشياطين ليوحون الى اوليايهم ليجادلوكم وان اطعتموهم انكم لمشركون ١٢١
وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا۟ مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِسْقٌۭ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ لَيُوحُونَ إِلَىٰٓ أَوْلِيَآئِهِمْ لِيُجَـٰدِلُوكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَمُشْرِكُونَ ١٢١
وَلَا
تَأۡكُلُواْ
مِمَّا
لَمۡ
يُذۡكَرِ
ٱسۡمُ
ٱللَّهِ
عَلَيۡهِ
وَإِنَّهُۥ
لَفِسۡقٞۗ
وَإِنَّ
ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ
لَيُوحُونَ
إِلَىٰٓ
أَوۡلِيَآئِهِمۡ
لِيُجَٰدِلُوكُمۡۖ
وَإِنۡ
أَطَعۡتُمُوهُمۡ
إِنَّكُمۡ
لَمُشۡرِكُونَ

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.

You are reading a tafsir for the group of verses 6:120 to 6:121

In the matter of eating and drinking and other everyday routines, every community develops a customary religion. People have strong feelings about this customary or traditional religion because of the testimonies of ancestors and of great men of the past, which exist in its support. Deviation from this becomes synonymous with turning away from the religion of the revered forefathers. So, when the call of Truth clashes with this customary religion, all sorts of objections are raised against it. The great men of the day seek out such aspects of established practices as will convince the general public that their customary religion is correct and the ‘new religion’ is wrong. But God is aware of everything. On Doomsday, when He lays bare the realities, every individual will see whether he has been standing on the firm ground of reality or on the thin ice of superstition.

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
