Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

Those whom We have given the Book
know that it has been sent down from your Lord
with the truth;
so do not be one of the skeptics.
115 The word of your Lord has been fulfilled
in truth and justice.
Nothing can change His words,
and He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing.
116 If you obey most of those on the earth,
they will lead you astray from the way of Allah.
They follow nothing but conjectures
and they do nothing but surmise.
117 Indeed your Lord knows best those who stray
from His way;
and He knows best those who are guided.
118 Eat from that
over which Allah’s Name has been mentioned,
if you are believers in His signs.
119 Why should you not eat
that over which Allah’s Name has been mentioned,
while He has already elaborated for you
whatever He has forbidden you,
excepting what you may be compelled to [eat]?
Indeed many mislead [others] by their fancies,
without any knowledge.
Indeed your Lord knows best the transgressors.
120 Renounce outward sins and the inward ones.
Indeed those who commit sins
shall be requited for what they used to commit.
121 Do not eat
