[16:111]

On the Day when every soul will come pleading for itself, and every soul will be repaid what it did, and they will not be wronged.

[16:112]

Allah coineth a similitude: a township that dwelt secure and well content, its provision coming to it in abundance from every side, but it disbelieved in Allah’s favours, so Allah made it experience the garb of dearth and fear because of what they used to do.

[16:113]

And verily there had come unto them a messenger from among them, but they had denied him, and so the torment seized them while they were wrong-doers.

[16:114]

So eat of the lawful and good food which Allah hath provided for you, and thank the bounty of your Lord if it is Him ye serve.

[16:115]

He hath forbidden for you only carrion and blood and swineflesh and that which hath been immolated in the name of any other than Allah; but he who is driven thereto, neither craving nor transgressing, lo! then Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

[16:116]

And speak not, concerning that which your own tongues qualify (as clean or unclean), the falsehood: "This is lawful, and this is forbidden," so that ye invent a lie against Allah. Lo! those who invent a lie against Allah will not succeed.

[16:117]

A brief enjoyment (will be theirs); and theirs a painful doom.

[16:118]

And unto those who are Jews We have forbidden that which We have already related unto thee. And We wronged them not, but they were wont to wrong themselves.
