Al-Ma'idah - The Table Spread

المائدة
Verse 45

وَكَتَبنا عَلَيهِم فيها أَنَّ النَّفسَ بِالنَّفسِ وَالعَينَ بِالعَينِ وَالأَنفَ بِالأَنفِ وَالأُذُنَ بِالأُذُنِ وَالسِّنَّ بِالسِّنِّ وَالجُروحَ قِصاصٌ ۚ فَمَن تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ فَهُوَ كَفّارَةٌ لَهُ ۚ وَمَن لَم يَحكُم بِما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ الظّالِمونَ

We wrote for them in it: a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and wounds equal in retribution. Yet, whoever waives it out of charity, it will serve as atonement for him. Those who don’t rule according to what God revealed are the wrongdoers.

Verse 46

وَقَفَّينا عَلىٰ آثارِهِم بِعيسَى ابنِ مَريَمَ مُصَدِّقًا لِما بَينَ يَدَيهِ مِنَ التَّوراةِ ۖ وَآتَيناهُ الإِنجيلَ فيهِ هُدًى وَنورٌ وَمُصَدِّقًا لِما بَينَ يَدَيهِ مِنَ التَّوراةِ وَهُدًى وَمَوعِظَةً لِلمُتَّقينَ

Following them, We sent Jesus, son of Mary, confirming the Torah that preceded him. And We gave him the Gospel, containing guidance and light, and confirmed the earlier Torah, and guidance and admonition for the righteous.

Verse 47

وَليَحكُم أَهلُ الإِنجيلِ بِما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ فيهِ ۚ وَمَن لَم يَحكُم بِما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ الفاسِقونَ

Let the people of the Gospel judge according to what God revealed therein. Those who don’t rule according to what God revealed are the sinners.

Verse 48

وَأَنزَلنا إِلَيكَ الكِتابَ بِالحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِما بَينَ يَدَيهِ مِنَ الكِتابِ وَمُهَيمِنًا عَلَيهِ ۖ فَاحكُم بَينَهُم بِما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ ۖ وَلا تَتَّبِع أَهواءَهُم عَمّا جاءَكَ مِنَ الحَقِّ ۚ لِكُلٍّ جَعَلنا مِنكُم شِرعَةً وَمِنهاجًا ۚ وَلَو شاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُم أُمَّةً واحِدَةً وَلـٰكِن لِيَبلُوَكُم في ما آتاكُم ۖ فَاستَبِقُوا الخَيراتِ ۚ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَرجِعُكُم جَميعًا فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِما كُنتُم فيهِ تَختَلِفونَ

To you, We revealing the book with truth, confirming what preceded it and prevailing over it. So, judge between them according to what God has revealed, and don’t follow their whims, which deviate from the truth that has come to you. For each, We’ve established a law and a path. If God had willed, He could’ve made you a single community, but He tests you through what He gave you. So, race towards goodness. To God is your return, all of you, and He will then inform you about your disagreements.

Verse 49

وَأَنِ احكُم بَينَهُم بِما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلا تَتَّبِع أَهواءَهُم وَاحذَرهُم أَن يَفتِنوكَ عَن بَعضِ ما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيكَ ۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوا فَاعلَم أَنَّما يُريدُ اللَّهُ أَن يُصيبَهُم بِبَعضِ ذُنوبِهِم ۗ وَإِنَّ كَثيرًا مِنَ النّاسِ لَفاسِقونَ

Judge between them according to what God revealed, and don’t follow their desires. Be wary of them, lest they tempt you away from some parts of what God has revealed to you. If they turn away, know that God intends to strike them with some of their sins. In fact, many people are corrupt.

أَفَحُكمَ الجاهِلِيَّةِ يَبغونَ ۚ وَمَن أَحسَنُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حُكمًا لِقَومٍ يوقِنونَ

Do they desire the ruling of the era of Ignorance? But who is better than God in judgment for a people who have certainty?

Verse 51

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا لا تَتَّخِذُوا اليَهودَ وَالنَّصارىٰ أَولِياءَ ۘ بَعضُهُم أَولِياءُ بَعضٍ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِنكُم فَإِنَّهُ مِنهُم ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهدِي القَومَ الظّالِمينَ

O you who have believed, don’t take the Jews and the Christians as allies; some of them are allies of one another. Whoever among you allies with them, then he becomes one of them. God doesn’t guide the wrongdoers.

Verse 52

فَتَرَى الَّذينَ في قُلوبِهِم مَرَضٌ يُسارِعونَ فيهِم يَقولونَ نَخشىٰ أَن تُصيبَنا دائِرَةٌ ۚ فَعَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَأتِيَ بِالفَتحِ أَو أَمرٍ مِن عِندِهِ فَيُصبِحوا عَلىٰ ما أَسَرّوا في أَنفُسِهِم نادِمينَ

You will see those with diseased hearts rushing amongst them, saying, “We fear that a misfortune might strike us.”But it may be that God will bring about victory or a decision from His command, and they will become regretful for what they’ve been concealing.

Verse 53

وَيَقولُ الَّذينَ آمَنوا أَهـٰؤُلاءِ الَّذينَ أَقسَموا بِاللَّهِ جَهدَ أَيمانِهِم ۙ إِنَّهُم لَمَعَكُم ۚ حَبِطَت أَعمالُهُم فَأَصبَحوا خاسِرينَ

Then the believers will say, “Are these the ones who swore by God, with their strongest oaths, that they are with you?” Their deeds have become in vain, and they’ve become losers.

Verse 54

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا مَن يَرتَدَّ مِنكُم عَن دينِهِ فَسَوفَ يَأتِي اللَّهُ بِقَومٍ يُحِبُّهُم وَيُحِبّونَهُ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى المُؤمِنينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الكافِرينَ يُجاهِدونَ في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ وَلا يَخافونَ لَومَةَ لائِمٍ ۚ ذٰلِكَ فَضلُ اللَّهِ يُؤتيهِ مَن يَشاءُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ واسِعٌ عَليمٌ

O you who believe, whoever of you renounces his faith, God will bring a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble towards the believers, stern towards the unbelievers, striving in the path of God, and not fearing the blame of any critic. That is the bounty from God, He bestows it on whom He wills. God is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.

Verse 55

إِنَّما وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسولُهُ وَالَّذينَ آمَنُوا الَّذينَ يُقيمونَ الصَّلاةَ وَيُؤتونَ الزَّكاةَ وَهُم راكِعونَ

Your ally is none but God, His Messenger, and those who believe—those who establish prayer, give charity, and bow down.
