114. So eat from what Allah has provided for you—lawful and pure—and be grateful for Allah’s favor, if it is Him you worship [117].
[117] In this verse, the address is to the Muslims, and they are being made to understand that ingratitude for blessings is such a grave crime that, in return for it, Allah even takes away His blessings and imposes punishment upon such criminals. Therefore, if you claim to have faith, then continue to show gratitude for His blessings. Worship Him alone. Refrain from disobeying Him and seek lawful sustenance. Avoid forbidden and impure things.
