Forbidden to you ( for food ) are : dead meat , blood , the flesh of swine , and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah ; that which hath been killed by strangling , or by a violent blow , or by a headlong fall , or by being gored to death ; that which hath been ( partly ) eaten by a wild animal ; unless ye are able to slaughter it ( in due form ) ; that which is sacrificed on stone ( altars ) ; ( forbidden ) also is the division ( of meat ) by raffling with arrows : that is impiety . This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion : yet fear them not but fear Me .
