Al [Imran 3: 91–3

Such have utterly gone astray. (91) Truly those who embraced unbelief and died as un- believers, not even the whole earth full of gold will be accepted from them as ransom. For such there is painful chastisement; and none shall come to their help.

(92) You shall not attain righteousness until you spend (for the sake of Allah) out of what you love. Allah knows whatever you spend.

(93) All food (that is lawful in the Law revealed to Muhammad) was lawful to the Children of Israel,23 except what Israel made unlawful to himself before the revelation of the Torah. Tell them: “Bring the Torah and recite any passage of it if you are truthful.” ▶

23 The Jewish rabbis found no grounds to criticize the fundamental teachings of the Prophet (peace be on him) for there was no difference between the teachings of the previous Prophets and that of the Arabian Prophet on matters which constitute the core of religion. They, therefore, raised objections about the details of the religious law. The first objection was that the Prophet (peace be on him) had declared lawful a number of things which had been reckoned as unlawful since the time of the ancient Prophets. What is said here is to refute that objection. The Jews also raised the objection that the direction of Prayer had been changed from Jerusalem to the Ka[bah. The verses that follow address this objection.
