The context for one is about God completing the religion and being satisfied with Islam as our religion, go back to the mood set by 5:3 which is a huge thing, if God completed the religion, then its important to know what actually happened on that day. So everything in this Surah (and I argue the whole Quran) is about Islam.
How can a verse in Quran have nothing to do with Islam?
Ok so let's say it has nothing to do with Islam or guiding humanity, what according to you is the purpose of God stating this and what role does it have with respect to the flow of the verses before and after?
Quote:Sura 5, The Quran:
( 3 ) Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
The bald part is the completion of Islam.
The rest is explicitly speaking about the first balded part....
What the hell does your comment has to do with "avoiding dead animals" ?
