197 - AL MAIDAH (Ayat# 87-89)

The permissibility and prohibition of food and drink are significant aspects of divine law, addressing ingrained customs and misconceptions. This discussion, rooted in Surah Al-Baqarah, clarifies what Allah has declared lawful, cautioning against exceeding limits in devotion or unjustly prohibiting permissible things. It emphasizes consuming lawful and wholesome sustenance, cultivating Taqwa, and the consequences of breaking oaths. Compensation for broken vows includes feeding the needy, providing clothing, freeing a slave, or fasting for three days, with provisions for those unable to fulfill these requirements. The Quran stresses the importance of honoring commitments while also offering a path for expiation and safeguarding one's faith.
