And they say: “This cattle and crops are reserved, no one will eat from it except the one we intend” with their own claiming, and “some cattle whose backs are forbidden”, and some cattle upon which they won’t remember Allah’s name forging upon Him, He will reward them for what they have been forging.
Meccan pagans had reserved cattle and crops for their deities and they claimed according to their whims that only particular priests and leaders can eat from it, and it was forbidden for the common people. Some cattle they considered as forbidden for carrying the load and some cattle they considered as upon it Allah’s name shouldn't be remembered while slaughtering it as explained in verses 5: 103. All these satanic customs were forged by them. So the Three-Time-Knower Lord will reward them for their forging. For justifying all these superstitious beliefs, they were claiming that they were following the footsteps of their forefathers as explained in verses 2: 170 and 5: 104-105. Adhikr is revealed to rectify and abandon all such false beliefs and customs and to make clear what is forbidden by the Three-Time-Knower Lord as explained in verse 5: 3. It is told in verse 6: 118: "You eat from whatever Lord’s name is remembered upon it if you are believers with His verses". It is asked through verse 6: 119: "What happened to you that you don't eat something Lord’s name has been remembered upon it, while surely He has spelled out for you what has been forbidden upon you except you are compelled to eat". And it is told in verse 6: 121: "You shouldn't eat from whatever upon which Lord's name is not remembered, and indeed it is transgression".
But after the thirty years of Messenger Muhammad’s departure, his people who deviated from the Straightpath became the Arabic Quran reading Fujjar. It is told in verses 43: 21-24 about the approach of disbelieving people towards their Messengers that they will claim that they have found their forefathers in a path, and they are guided along their footsteps. Indeed, they are denying Adhikr that has been revealed upon the Messenger”. The Fujjar are claiming that reading the Arabic text of the Quran even without grasping its content will be rewarded. But Lord has taught through his Messenger that one should read the Book when his soul is linked with the reading, and whenever his heart is separated from reading, he should stop and engage in some other ventures because the read Book will argue and witness against him. But the Fujjar all over the world have become wrongdoers and Mujirims by hiding and rejecting Adhikr and Its forty names as explained in verse 4: 70. See explanation 2: 208; 4: 43, 63, and 6: 110-111.
