 Sura: Al-Maaida
Ayat 87

O you who believe! do not forbid (yourselves) the good things which Allah has made lawful for you and
do not exceed the limits; surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits.

Prohibiting what is Lawful

Allah is forbidding the believers from making things prohibited for themselves which Allah has made lawful.
Abstaining from a particular type of food in case of some diseases does not fall in this category. There are many
golden sayings of Prophet (SAW) which lead us to conclude safely that ‘prevention is better than cure’. Allah also
says in the Quran, “and cast not yourselves to perdition with your own hands” (SURAH BAQARAH 2:195). This
particular verse also tells us that prohibiting something which Allah has made lawful is an act which exceeds the
limits and whenever we exceed the limits we harm ourselves. It is a fact that there are certain questions which the
vegetarians can never answer. One of those many questions is that there are geographical locations which are too
cold for planting and harvesting vegetables there. What will the humans of those societies do if they become
vegetarians? It would be too expensive too transport vegetables there and of course if vegetable is the only food
meant to be eaten a genuine question is: what should have the Eskimos eaten when there was no transport facility
in the past? So be not of those who exceed and follow what Allah says in the next ayat

And eat of the lawful and good (things) that Allah has given you, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, in Whom
you believe. (SURAH MAIDA 5:88)

This document is based on my under process book. I plan to collect all the Ayaats of the Holy Quran with deal with
scientific, historical and archaeological subjects. I am trying to provide explanation to those Ayaats in light of
Previous commentaries (Tafaseer), established science, archaeological discoveries and Arabic lexicons. Send in
your comments, queries and suggestion at Muhammad.Awais.Tahir@gmail.com

Please do not copy paste without permission, until my book is published, Insha’Allah.
