  • Aidid Safar's translation of verse 5:3
    F faraazmh

    Salaamun Alaikum fellow believers

    My name is Faraaz, I'm a new member. Thanks for your time.

    I have a topic i would like to put forward to the community. It is in relation to verse 53 and in particular the translation of Aidid Safar on this verse which is as follows

    ?Restricted to you are the meat from the animals that die of themselves, blood, decaying meat(note 17) , and food
    dedicated to other than God. Also, the animal that has been strangled to death, the animal struck by an
    object, the animal that dies from falling from a height, the animal that is gored to death, the animal
    that is partially eaten by a predator unless you have rescued it alive, the food dedicated to idols and meat
    divided by means of casting lots. These are abominations. Today, the disbelievers are in despair
    about your deen. Do not fear them and fear Me instead. Today, I have perfected the deen for you
    and completed My favour upon you, and I decree Islam as the deen for you. (53)?

    His notes read as follows

    ?17 The word Khin literally means rotten, stink or bad ? Ziri means that you see.
    Khinziri does not refer to swine ? a livestock that is part of God?s provisions to
    mankind (51 & 6142). It is obvious the prohibition is limited to the nature and
    condition of the food ? not the species of animals. It is illogical to imagine that
    God in His wisdom created swine and allows it to be domesticated and then
    prohibits its meat. Wildlife hunting is permitted ? wild boars are not mentioned
    as prohibited game. In 560 God uses the word kh-na-zi-ro to signify stinking as
    the state of condition of a person ? but religionists say humans can become pigs.?

    So my question to the community is, what are your thoughts on this, could it be that we were duped into believing that the flesh of swine is forbidden for us or is it the correct translation that the flesh of swine is forbidden?

    Peace to everyone.
    Faraaz
