The Holy Quran 10:59 — Surah Yunus

Arabic text

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ فَجَعَلْتُم مِّنْهُ حَرَامًا وَحَلَـٰلًا قُلْ ءَآللَّهُ أَذِنَ لَكُمْ ۖ أَمْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَفْتَرُونَ

Translation

Say, "Tell me about the sustenance (food) that Allaah has provided for you, some of which you make Haraam (of your own accord), and others Halaal.” Say, "Has Allaah permitted you (to make these things Halaal or Haraam) or are you inventing lies about Allaah (by falsely claiming that Allaah had commanded you to regard these things as Halaal or Haraam)?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Declaring things lawful and unlawful is the work of Allah alone: that is, the Quran, which has come as admonition, healing, guidance and mercy, is alone worthy of being relied upon and held fast to. Only through it can the commands of Allah be known and the lawful be distinguished from the unlawful.
