Qur'an commentary Surat 5: Al-Ma'ida: The Table

1. Also called the Sura of Contracts by "O you who believe....."

2. The concept of 'hudud'
Throughout their long history the Muslims established the hudud and protected the lives, property and reputation of all those under their jurisdiction. They did not abandon the Divine judgements until the Mongols attacked them and Divine law was replaced by teaching invented by their tyrants in a book called the Yasaq. This disaster was repeated when the Europeans invaded the Muslim world and put man-made laws in place of the Divine legislation so that widespread corruption spread throughout the entire world. In their laws the Europeans permit fornication as long it is by mutual consent and the most highly evolved nations even permit sodomy! They have discredited the laws of hudud and retaliation and no one can speak about them without exposing himself to ridicule, censure and even chastisement.

Ayats about Jesus

(4:157) Sahih International: And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.

(4:158) Yusuf Ali: Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise

(4:171) Yusuf Ali: O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.

(4:172) Yusuf Ali: Christ disdaineth nor to serve and worship Allah, nor do the angels, those nearest (to Allah): those who disdain His worship and are arrogant,-He will gather them all together unto Himself to (answer).
