الآية رقم (88) - وَكُلُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّهُ حَلاَلاً طَيِّبًا وَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ الَّذِيَ أَنتُم بِهِ مُؤْمِنُونَ

(88) - (And eat of what Allah has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And fear Allah, in whom you are believers.)

( وَكُلُوا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ ) (And eat of what Allah has provided for you): Everything from which benefit is derived from is considered provision; knowledge, health, water and food are all examples. However, in this verse, the provision referred to is food.

(  وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي أَنتُم بِهِ مُؤْمِنُونَ ) (…And fear Allah, in whom you are believers): Allah (swt) begins the previous verse with: (O you who have believed) and ends with: (in whom you are believers.). It is like ring-fencing obedience in between two angles of Faith; the first being the angle of being addressed as believers, and the second being the angle of carrying out deeds as believers.

     Fearing Allah (swt) is the characteristic which will protect a person from the wrath of Allah (swt), and in turn, from the Hellfire.
