CLEAN AND UNCLEAN (VERSE NO. 172)

      In this verse and the next one, once again we turn to the proclaiming of some lawful and wholesome foods as unlawful by the pagan Arabs; but this time and in this case the believers are addressed: ``O, you who believe! Eat of the good clean foods that Allah has provided for you as sustenance, and give thanks to Allah, if you indeed worship HIM alone.''
