Quran 5:61~63 (Ayah al-Ma`idah)
When they (the disbelievers) come to you ˹believers˺ they say, “We believe.” But they are committed to disbelief when they enter and when they leave. And Allah knows what they hide. You see many of them racing towards sin, transgression, and consumption of forbidden gain. Evil indeed are their actions! Why do their rabbis and scholars not forbid them from saying what is sinful and consuming what is unlawful? Evil indeed is their inaction! Quran 5:61~63 Surah Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread)
Al-Ma’idah (Arabic: ٱلمائدة, Al-Māʾidah; meaning: “The Table” or “The Table Spread with Food”) is the fifth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran. It has 120 verses (āyāt).
سُوۡرَةُ المَائدة وَاِذَا جَآءُوۡكُمۡ قَالُوۡۤا اٰمَنَّا وَقَدْ دَّخَلُوۡا بِالۡكُفۡرِ وَهُمۡ قَدۡ خَرَجُوۡا بِهٖ‌ؕ وَاللّٰهُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوۡا يَكۡتُمُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۶۱﴾ وَتَرٰى كَثِيۡرًا مِّنۡهُمۡ يُسَارِعُوۡنَ فِى الۡاِثۡمِ وَالۡعُدۡوَانِ وَاَكۡلِهِمُ السُّحۡتَ‌ ؕ لَبِئۡسَ مَا كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۶۲﴾ لَوۡلَا يَنۡهٰٮهُمُ الرَّبَّانِيُّوۡنَ وَالۡاَحۡبَارُ عَنۡ قَوۡلِهِمُ الۡاِثۡمَ وَاَكۡلِهِمُ السُّحۡتَ‌ؕ لَبِئۡسَ مَا كَانُوۡا يَصۡنَعُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۶۳﴾ ࣱ
The chapter’s topics include animals which are forbidden, and Jesus’ and Moses’ missions.
Verse 90 prohibits “The intoxicant” (alcohol).
Verse 8 Contains the passage: “Do not let the hatred of a people lead you to injustice”.
Al-Tabligh Verse 67 is relevant to the Farewell Pilgrimage and Ghadir Khumm.
Verses (Q5:32-33) have been quoted to denounce killing, by using an abbreviated form such as,
“If anyone kills a person, it would be as if he killed the whole people: and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people”.
This verse is similar to that of one from the Talmud
جب یہ تم لوگوں کے پاس آتے ہیں تو کہتے ہیں کہ ہم ایمان لائے، حالانکہ کفر لیے ہوئے آئے تھے اور کفر ہی لیے ہوئے واپس گئے اور اللہ خوب جانتا ہے جو کچھ یہ دلوں میں چھپائے ہوئے ہیں ﴿۶۱﴾ تم دیکھتے ہو کہ ان میں سے بکثرت لوگ گناہ اور ظلم و زیادتی کے کاموں میں دوڑ دھوپ کرتے پھرتے ہیں اور حرام کے مال کھاتے ہیں بہت بری حرکات ہیں جو یہ کر رہے ہیں ﴿۶۲﴾ کیوں اِن کے عُلما٫ اور مشائخ انہیں گناہ پر زبان کھولنے اور حرام کھانے سے نہیں روکتے؟ یقیناً بہت ہی برا کارنامہ زندگی ہے جو وہ تیار کر رہے ہیں
There are six main points discussed in this Surah: All obligations whether they are divine or human should be fulfilled. When we have a pledge or promise or sign a treaty we must abide by it. Also Allah gave some rules for life to keep us clean and sober. Cleanliness of the body, living with justice, being upright and moral, avoiding sin, corruption and superstition, and doing the deeds of piety and righteousness are important rules and principles and must be observed.
Message to the People of the Book i.e. Christians and Jews to recognize the truth. Allah’s punishment comes on those who reject Allah’s rules and knowingly violate them.
The story of the two children of Adam is told. This story has many lessons. Sometime even your brothers become envious of you and they harm you. Just and righteous persons sometimes suffer at the hands of their own family members, but God’s judgment also comes. The righteous under no situation give up right attitude and behavior.
Muslims must deal with justice with all people. Justice should be impartial, even to their enemies they must be just. However, relations among Muslims themselves should be deeper. There should not be only justice but also love, brotherhood, care and concern for each other.
Enjoy the good things that Allah has given, but guard against excesses. Do not indulge in swearing, gambling, intoxicants, superstitions, violation of the sanctities of the Sanctuary of Allah (the Ka’bah).
Jesus – peace be upon him – was a great prophet of Allah and he performed many miracles. His teachings were corrupted by some after his departure
