📖 Translation (English Meaning)

📖 English Meaning

Say, [O Muhammad], "Bring forward your witnesses who will testify that Allah has prohibited this." And if they testify, do not testify with them. And do not follow the desires of those who deny Our verses and those who do not believe in the Hereafter, while they equate [others] with their Lord.

Translation — Tafsir

Word Meanings:

هَلُمَّ (Halumma): A call meaning "bring" or "produce" — an invitation to present something.
شُهَدَاءَكُمُ (Shuhadā'akum): Your witnesses — those who would testify on your behalf.
يَعْدِلُونَ (Ya'dilūn): They equate — meaning they set up partners with Allah, associating others with Him in worship.

Tafsir (Explanation):

O Messenger, say to these polytheists who declare certain cattle and crops forbidden while claiming that Allah Himself made them unlawful: "Bring forth your witnesses who can testify that Allah truly prohibited what you have declared forbidden." If they do come forward with such testimony — and they will only be lying — then do not accept their testimony, do not affirm it, and do not stand with them in it. Their claim is pure falsehood, for Allah never prohibited what He has made lawful, nor did He legalize what He has forbidden.

Then Allah instructs His Prophet — and through him, every believer — to never follow the whims and desires of those who have rejected His signs and revelations. These are people who twist the truth to suit their own inclinations, declaring things lawful or unlawful based on their personal preferences rather than divine guidance. Nor should you follow those who do not believe in the Hereafter — for they have no fear of accountability and no hope of reward — and who, worst of all, equate others with their Lord, worshipping false deities alongside Him.

How could anyone of sound mind follow people whose relationship with their Creator is so corrupt? They have denied the very signs that point to His oneness and wisdom, and they have turned away from the reality of the life to come. Their judgments are built on sand, and their testimony is void.

A Call to Reflection:

This verse carries a timeless lesson for every Muslim: truth is not established by witnesses alone, but by alignment with what Allah has revealed. When people claim divine authority for their own innovations — whether in matters of halal and haram or in matters of creed — the believer must stand firm upon the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger. Do not be swayed by those who reject Allah's signs, and do not let the desires of those who deny the Hereafter pull you away from the straight path. Your Lord is One, His law is clear, and His promise is true. Hold fast to His guidance, and you will never be led astray.

📜 Verse 148-152 — Al-An'am

148سَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا أَشْرَكْنَا وَلَا آبَاؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن شَيْءٍ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ ذَاقُوا بَأْسَنَا ۗ قُلْ هَلْ عِندَكُم مِّنْ عِلْمٍ فَتُخْرِجُوهُ لَنَا ۖ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا تَخْرُصُونَ

Those who associated with Allah will say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have associated [anything] and neither would our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything." Likewise did those before deny until they tasted Our punishment. Say, "Do you have any knowledge that you can produce for us? You follow not except assumption, and you are not but falsifying."

149قُلْ فَلِلَّهِ الْحُجَّةُ الْبَالِغَةُ ۖ فَلَوْ شَاءَ لَهَدَاكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Say, "With Allah is the far-reaching argument. If He had willed, He would have guided you all."

150قُلْ هَلُمَّ شُهَدَاءَكُمُ الَّذِينَ يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ هَٰذَا ۖ فَإِن شَهِدُوا فَلَا تَشْهَدْ مَعَهُمْ ۚ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَالَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ وَهُم بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ

151۞ قُلْ تَعَالَوْا أَتْلُ مَا حَرَّمَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ أَلَّا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا ۖ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا ۖ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُم مِّنْ إِمْلَاقٍ ۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكُمْ وَإِيَّاهُمْ ۖ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ ۖ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ وَصَّاكُم بِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

Say, "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. [He commands] that you not associate anything with Him, and to parents, good treatment, and do not kill your children out of poverty; We will provide for you and them. And do not approach immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed. And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed] except by [legal] right. This has He instructed you that you may use reason."

152وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ أَشُدَّهُ ۖ وَأَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَالْمِيزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ ۖ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۖ وَإِذَا قُلْتُمْ فَاعْدِلُوا وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَىٰ ۖ وَبِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ أَوْفُوا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ وَصَّاكُم بِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

And do not approach the orphan's property except in a way that is best until he reaches maturity. And give full measure and weight in justice. We do not charge any soul except [with that within] its capacity. And when you testify, be just, even if [it concerns] a near relative. And the covenant of Allah fulfill. This has He instructed you that you may remember.
