Quran-6:119 Surah Al-anam English Translation,Transliteration and Tafsir(Tafseer).

وَمَا لَكُمۡ أَلَّا تَأۡكُلُواْ مِمَّا ذُكِرَ ٱسۡمُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡهِ وَقَدۡ فَصَّلَ لَكُم مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِلَّا مَا ٱضۡطُرِرۡتُمۡ إِلَيۡهِۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرٗا لَّيُضِلُّونَ بِأَهۡوَآئِهِم بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٍۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُعۡتَدِينَ

Transliteration:( Wa maa lakum allaa ta'kuloo mimmaa zukirasmul laahi 'alaihi wa qad fassala lakum maa harrama 'alaikum illaa mad turirtum ilaih; wa inna kaseeral la yudilloona bi ahwaaa'ihim bighairi 'ilm; inna Rabbaka Huwa a'lamu bilmu'tadeen )

119. And what had happened to you that you should not eat (259), out of that on which the name of Allah has been pronounced. He has explained to you in detail (260), what is forbidden to you. But when you are compelled (261) to it. And surely many mislead others with their own desires without knowing (262). Surely, your Lord knows well the transgressors (263).

Surah Al-Anam Ayat 119 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

259. It is evident that if Baheerah and Saaibah are slaughtered in the name of Allah Almighty they are lawful. Similar is the case with the calves of the Hindus which are set aside on the names of the idols. Thus the cow which is slaughtered on the occasion of Giyarwih Shareef too is lawful and sacred because it is slaughtered in the name of Allah Almighty.

260. From this, we learn that according to the law unlawful matters are always described in detail, and that which is not declared unlawful is lawful. Says Allah Almighty: "Say you. I find not in what has been revealed to me any meal is forbidden." (S6:V145)

261. It becomes evident that if there is a danger of losing one's life it is lawful to eat unlawful meat as is absolutely necessary for this purpose.

262. By 'without knowing' is meant that those people regard Baheera and Sabah, animals which are left aside in the names of the idols, as unlawful but those animals which are slaughtered in the name of those besides Allah Almighty or those arrivals who die a natural death as lawful. Yet the actual position is the opposite. Thus do not pay heed to these ignorant people.

263. In this verse, those people are dreadfully warned who are giving wrong verdicts on matters concerning lawful and unlawful due to their lack of knowledge or their own opinions. Molvi Rashid Ahmed Gangohi has stated that the Sharbet drinking water provided for people in the month of Muharram for the sake of Hazrat Imam Hussain (May Allah be pleased with him) is unlawful, yet he has declared the Diwali sweetmeats of the Hindus as lawful. This verse is thus a warning to such misguided Ulama.

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Al-Anam verse 119 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Anam ayat 118 which provides the complete commentary from verse 118 through 119.

(6:119) And how is it that you do not eat of that over which Allah’s name has been pronounced even though He has clearly spelled out to you what He has forbidden you unless you are constrained to it?[85] Many indeed say misleading things without knowledge, driven merely by their lowly desires. But your Lord knows well the transgressors.

85. See (Surah An-Nahl, Ayat 15). We may observe in passing that this allusion indirectly establishes that Surah al-Nahl was revealed before the present surah.
