Why should you not eat that on which God's name has been mentioned, when He has sufficiently detailed to you what has been made forbidden; except what you are forced to? Many misguide by their desires without knowledge; your Lord is fully aware of the transgressors.
Translation endnotes
[6:118-119] One of the common characteristics of those who associate religious leaders as partners with God is to prohibit things that God has not prohibited. Thus, the description of mushriks (polytheists) starting from 6:112, continues with a specific example until 6:155. The followers of the same mushriks might deceive themselves by assuming that those verses have no application in our times; that they were about some people who lived and perished 15 centuries ago! They ignore the warning of the Quran (36:70).
