Quran 5:41

November 23, 2024
O Messenger ! Do not grieve for those who race to disbelieve—those who say, “We believe” with their tongues, but their hearts are in disbelief. Nor those among the Jews who eagerly listen to lies, attentive to those who are too arrogant to come to you. They distort the Scripture, taking rulings out of context, then say, “If this is the ruling you get ˹from Muḥammad˺, accept it. If not, beware !” Whoever Allah allows to be deluded, you can never be of any help to them against Allah. It is not Allah’s Will to purify their hearts. For them there is disgrace in this world, and they will suffer a tremendous punishment in the Hereafter. Quran 5:41 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, with 120 verses (āyāt).

يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ لَا يَحْزُنكَ الَّذِينَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْكُفْرِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَلَمْ تُؤْمِن قُلُوبُهُمْ وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ هَادُوا سَمَّاعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ سَمَّاعُونَ لِقَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ لَمْ يَأْتُوكَ يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ مِن بَعْدِ مَوَاضِعِهِ يَقُولُونَ إِنْ أُوتِيتُمْ هَٰذَا فَخُذُوهُ وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْتَوْهُ فَاحْذَرُوا وَمَن يُرِدِ اللَّهُ فِتْنَتَهُ فَلَن تَمْلِكَ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ أَن يُطَهِّرَ قُلُوبَهُمْ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا خِزْيٌ وَلَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيم
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
اے پیغمبرؐ! تمہارے لیے باعث رنج نہ ہوں وہ لوگ جو کفر کی راہ میں بڑی تیز گامی دکھا رہے ہیں خواہ وہ اُن میں سے ہوں جو منہ سے کہتے ہیں ہم ایمان لائے مگر دل اُن کے ایمان نہیں لائے، یا اُن میں سے ہوں جو یہودی بن گئے ہیں، جن کا حال یہ ہے کہ جھوٹ کے لیے کان لگاتے ہیں، اور دوسرے لوگوں کی خاطر، جو تمہارے پاس کبھی نہیں آئے، سن گن لیتے پھرتے ہیں، کتاب اللہ کے الفاظ کو اُن کا صحیح محل متعین ہونے کے باوجود اصل معنی سے پھیرتے ہیں، اور لوگوں سے کہتے ہیں کہ اگر تمہیں یہ حکم دیا جائے تو مانو نہیں تو نہ مانو جسے اللہ ہی نے فتنہ میں ڈالنے کا ارادہ کر لیا ہو تو اس کو اللہ کی گرفت سے بچانے کے لیے تم کچھ نہیں کرسکتے، یہ وہ لوگ ہیں جن کے دلوں کو اللہ نے پاک کرنا نہ چاہا، ان کے لیے دنیا میں رسوائی ہے اور آخرت میں سخت سزا
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.
