Word by word

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِلَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ

O you who have believed, eat from the good [i.e., lawful] things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allāh if it is [indeed] Him that you worship.

يا أيها المؤمنون كلوا من الأطعمة المستلَذَّة الحلال التي رزقناكم، ولا تكونوا كالكفار الذين يحرمون الطيبات، ويستحِلُّون الخبائث، واشكروا لله نعمه العظيمة عليكم بقلوبكم وألسنتكم وجوارحكم، إن كنتم حقًا منقادين لأمره، سامعين مطيعين له، تعبدونه وحده لا شريك له.
