Al-Ma'idah 5:1

Al-Ma'idah - The Table Spread

المائدة

بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا أَوفوا بِالعُقودِ ۚ أُحِلَّت لَكُم بَهيمَةُ الأَنعامِ إِلّا ما يُتلىٰ عَلَيكُم غَيرَ مُحِلِّي الصَّيدِ وَأَنتُم حُرُمٌ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحكُمُ ما يُريدُ

O you who believe, fulfill your obligations. Lawful for you are the animals of livestock, except those explicitly forbidden. However, hunting is not permitted while you are on pilgrimage. God ordains what He wills.

Verse 2

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا لا تُحِلّوا شَعائِرَ اللَّهِ وَلَا الشَّهرَ الحَرامَ وَلَا الهَديَ وَلَا القَلائِدَ وَلا آمّينَ البَيتَ الحَرامَ يَبتَغونَ فَضلًا مِن رَبِّهِم وَرِضوانًا ۚ وَإِذا حَلَلتُم فَاصطادوا ۚ وَلا يَجرِمَنَّكُم شَنَآنُ قَومٍ أَن صَدّوكُم عَنِ المَسجِدِ الحَرامِ أَن تَعتَدوا ۘ وَتَعاوَنوا عَلَى البِرِّ وَالتَّقوىٰ ۖ وَلا تَعاوَنوا عَلَى الإِثمِ وَالعُدوانِ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَديدُ العِقابِ

O you who believe, do not desecrate the symbols of God, the Sacred Month, the offerings, the garlands, or those journeying to the Sacred House seeking blessings and approval from their Lord. Once your pilgrimage has concluded, you may hunt. Don’t let the hatred of a people who barred you from the Sacred Mosque incite you to aggression. Instead, cooperate in righteousness and piety, not in sin and hostility. Be mindful of God, for God is severe in punishment.

Verse 3

حُرِّمَت عَلَيكُمُ المَيتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحمُ الخِنزيرِ وَما أُهِلَّ لِغَيرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ وَالمُنخَنِقَةُ وَالمَوقوذَةُ وَالمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَالنَّطيحَةُ وَما أَكَلَ السَّبُعُ إِلّا ما ذَكَّيتُم وَما ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ وَأَن تَستَقسِموا بِالأَزلامِ ۚ ذٰلِكُم فِسقٌ ۗ اليَومَ يَئِسَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا مِن دينِكُم فَلا تَخشَوهُم وَاخشَونِ ۚ اليَومَ أَكمَلتُ لَكُم دينَكُم وَأَتمَمتُ عَلَيكُم نِعمَتي وَرَضيتُ لَكُمُ الإِسلامَ دينًا ۚ فَمَنِ اضطُرَّ في مَخمَصَةٍ غَيرَ مُتَجانِفٍ لِإِثمٍ ۙ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

You are forbidden to consume carrion, blood, pork, and anything consecrated to other than God. Also banned are animals that have died from strangulation, blunt force, a fall, goring, or those partially consumed by wild animals—unless you can purify them—and those slaughtered on altars, and the practice of divining arrows. These are sinful practices. Today, the unbelievers have despaired of your religion, so don’t fear them, but fear Me. Today, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and chosen Submission as your religion. If anyone is compelled by hunger, without deliberately intending to sin, then surely, God is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verse 4

يَسأَلونَكَ ماذا أُحِلَّ لَهُم ۖ قُل أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّيِّباتُ ۙ وَما عَلَّمتُم مِنَ الجَوارِحِ مُكَلِّبينَ تُعَلِّمونَهُنَّ مِمّا عَلَّمَكُمُ اللَّهُ ۖ فَكُلوا مِمّا أَمسَكنَ عَلَيكُم وَاذكُرُوا اسمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيهِ ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَريعُ الحِسابِ

They ask you what’s lawful for them. Say, “All good things are lawful for you, including what your trained hunting animals catch for you.” You train them according to what God has taught you. Eat what they catch for you, and pronounce God’s name over it. Be conscious of God. God is swift in reckoning.

Verse 5

اليَومَ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّيِّباتُ ۖ وَطَعامُ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتابَ حِلٌّ لَكُم وَطَعامُكُم حِلٌّ لَهُم ۖ وَالمُحصَناتُ مِنَ المُؤمِناتِ وَالمُحصَناتُ مِنَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتابَ مِن قَبلِكُم إِذا آتَيتُموهُنَّ أُجورَهُنَّ مُحصِنينَ غَيرَ مُسافِحينَ وَلا مُتَّخِذي أَخدانٍ ۗ وَمَن يَكفُر بِالإيمانِ فَقَد حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ وَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنَ الخاسِرينَ

Today, all good things have been made lawful for you. The food of those given the Scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them. Lawful for you are virtuous believing women and virtuous women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, provided you give them their due compensation, and marry them honorably, not committing adultery or taking secret lovers. Whoever disbelieves, his work is in vain, and in the Hereafter, he will be among the losers.

Verse 6

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا إِذا قُمتُم إِلَى الصَّلاةِ فَاغسِلوا وُجوهَكُم وَأَيدِيَكُم إِلَى المَرافِقِ وَامسَحوا بِرُءوسِكُم وَأَرجُلَكُم إِلَى الكَعبَينِ ۚ وَإِن كُنتُم جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّروا ۚ وَإِن كُنتُم مَرضىٰ أَو عَلىٰ سَفَرٍ أَو جاءَ أَحَدٌ مِنكُم مِنَ الغائِطِ أَو لامَستُمُ النِّساءَ فَلَم تَجِدوا ماءً فَتَيَمَّموا صَعيدًا طَيِّبًا فَامسَحوا بِوُجوهِكُم وَأَيديكُم مِنهُ ۚ ما يُريدُ اللَّهُ لِيَجعَلَ عَلَيكُم مِن حَرَجٍ وَلـٰكِن يُريدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُم وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعمَتَهُ عَلَيكُم لَعَلَّكُم تَشكُرونَ

O you who believe, when you prepare for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads, and your feet to the ankles. If you’re in a state of impurity, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill, on a journey, have relieved yourselves, or have been intimate with women, and you can’t find water, resort to clean earth and wipe your faces and hands with it. God doesn’t intend to burden you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you, so that you may give thanks.
