117 Surely thy Lord — He knows best who goes astray from His way, and He knows best the guided ones.

118 Eat, then, of that on which Allāh’s name has been mentioned, if you are believers in His messages.

119 And what reason have you that you should not eat of that on which Allāh’s name is mentioned, when He has already made plain to you what He has forbidden to you — excepting that which you are compelled to. And surely many lead (people) astray by their low desires through ignorance. Surely thy Lord — He best knows the transgressors.

120 And avoid open sins and secret ones. Surely they who earn sin will be rewarded for what they have earned.

121 And eat not of that on which Allāh’s name has not been mentioned, and that is surely a transgression. And certainly the devils inspire their friends to contend with you; and if you obey them, you will surely be polytheists.

122 Is he who was dead, then We raised him to life and made for him a light by which he walks among the people, like him whose likeness is that of one in darkness whence he cannot come forth? Thus their doings are made fair-seeming to the disbelievers.

123 And thus have We made in every town the leaders of its guilty ones, that they may make plans therein. And they plan not but against themselves, and they perceive not.

124 And when a message comes to them they say: We will not believe till we are given the like of that which Allāh’s messengers are given. Allāh best knows where to place His message. Humiliation from Allāh and severe chastisement will surely befall the guilty for their planning.

125 So whomsoever Allāh intends to guide, He expands his breast for Islām, and whomsoever He intends to leave in error, He makes his breast strait (and) narrow as though he were ascending upwards. Thus does Allāh lay uncleanness on those who believe not.

126 And this is the path of thy Lord, (a) straight (path). Indeed We have made the messages clear for a people who mind.
