Surat Al-Ma'ida, 87 (Hypocrites make unlawful what Allah has made lawful)

(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview dated September 18, 2010)

You who belive! DO NOT MAKE UNLAWFUL THE GOOD THINGS ALLAH HAS MADE LAWFUL FOR YOU, AND DO NOT OVERSTEP THE LIMITS. Allah does not love people who overstep the limits. (Surat Al-Ma’ida, 87)



Hypocrites make unlawful (haram) what Allah has made lawful (halal). This happens with hypocrites and ones who have sickness in their hearts. Do not invent things that you call unlawful or lawful, do not complicate religion, do not lie in the name of Allah. That is why hypocrites and idolaters always perish. Allah calls attention to this fabrication of hypocrites and idolaters in the Qur’an. In the same way their idols have made killing their children appear good to many of the idolaters, in order to destroy them and CONFUSE THEM IN THEIR RELIGION. If Allah had willed, they would not have done it; so abandon them and what they fabricate.
