The Table Spread · Medinan · 120 ayahs · Juz 6, 7

• 5:1

  يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَوْفُوا۟ بِٱلْعُقُودِ ۚ أُحِلَّتْ لَكُم بَهِيمَةُ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ إِلَّا مَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ غَيْرَ مُحِلِّى ٱلصَّيْدِ وَأَنتُمْ حُرُمٌ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ مَا يُرِيدُ

  O you who have Imaan (who recognise and submit to Allaah), fulfil your pledges (those promises and contracts that you make with Allaah as well as those that you make with people). Permitted for you (to eat) are livestock animals (cattle, camels, goats, sheep) except what has been recited to you (in the Qur'aan, such as verse 3 of this Surah). (The hunting of) Game is (also) unlawful for you when you are in the state of Ihraam. Verily Allaah commands what He wills (He is All Wise, above questioning).

• 5:2

  يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُحِلُّوا۟ شَعَـٰٓئِرَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا ٱلشَّهْرَ ٱلْحَرَامَ وَلَا ٱلْهَدْىَ وَلَا ٱلْقَلَـٰٓئِدَ وَلَآ ءَآمِّينَ ٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلْحَرَامَ يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرِضْوَٰنًا ۚ وَإِذَا حَلَلْتُمْ فَٱصْطَادُوا۟ ۚ وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَـَٔانُ قَوْمٍ أَن صَدُّوكُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ أَن تَعْتَدُوا۟ ۘ وَتَعَاوَنُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلْبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ ۚ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ

  O you who have Imaan! Do not legalise (do not show disrespect towards) Allaah's landmarks (those things that have special significance in the Shari'ah) nor (show disrespect towards) the sacred months (by fighting in them), nor (towards) the sacrificial animal (by harming it), nor (towards) garlanded animals (those animals that are taken with for Hajj to be slaughtered), nor (should you be disrespectful towards) those (people who are) proceeding towards the Sacred House (the Kabah), seeking the bounty from their Rabb and (His) pleasure. When you emerge from the state of Ihraam, then you may hunt (outside the boundaries of the Haram). Never let enmity for a nation who prevented you from the Masjidul Haraam provoke you to overstep the limits (of civil behaviour). Assist each other in good works (virtue and piety) and Taqwa and do not assist each other in sin and transgression (oppression and injustice). Fear (the punishment of) Allaah! Most surely Allaah is severe in punishment.

• 5:3

  حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَيْتَةُ وَٱلدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ ٱلْخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦ وَٱلْمُنْخَنِقَةُ وَٱلْمَوْقُوذَةُ وَٱلْمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَٱلنَّطِيحَةُ وَمَآ أَكَلَ ٱلسَّبُعُ إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيْتُمْ وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى ٱلنُّصُبِ وَأَن تَسْتَقْسِمُوا۟ بِٱلْأَزْلَـٰمِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ فِسْقٌ ۗ ٱلْيَوْمَ يَئِسَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن دِينِكُمْ فَلَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَٱخْشَوْنِ ۚ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِى وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمَ دِينًا ۚ فَمَنِ ٱضْطُرَّ فِى مَخْمَصَةٍ غَيْرَ مُتَجَانِفٍ لِّإِثْمٍ ۙ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

  Forbidden for you (for you to eat) is Mayta (dead animal), blood (that flows from an animal's body), the meat of pigs, (the meat of) those animals that were sacrificed with (the slaughterer taking) the name of another besides Allaah, those (animals) that were strangled to death (that suffocated to death or drowned), those that were beaten to death (died through injuries), those that fell to their deaths, those killed by collision (either by impact or after being gored by another animal) and those eaten by wild beasts; except that which you slaughter. (Therefore, if an animal suffers any of the above injuries but dies only after being properly slaughtered, the animals meat will be Halaal.) (Also forbidden for you are) What (that animal which) has been slaughtered at the altars (in the name of gods besides Allaah) and distribution by arrows (the Mushrikeen Arabs used to predict future events using special arrows and also used such arrows in a form of gambling). These are all acts of sin. This day the Kuffaar have lost hope of (you Muslims forsaking) your Deen (and becoming despondent. This is because Islaam has now become strong). So do not fear them, but fear Me. Today I have perfected your Deen for you (leaving no room for additions or omissions), completed My bounty upon you (because Islaam is a complete and everlasting code of life) and chosen Islaam as your Deen. So whoever is forced (to eat these forbidden foods) because of starvation and is not inclined towards sin (he does not want to eat merely for enjoyment), then (he may eat only what is necessary to keep him alive because) indeed Allaah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

• 5:4

  يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ مَاذَآ أُحِلَّ لَهُمْ ۖ قُلْ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتُ ۙ وَمَا عَلَّمْتُم مِّنَ ٱلْجَوَارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ تُعَلِّمُونَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ فَكُلُوا۟ مِمَّآ أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ

  They (the Muslims) ask you (O Muhammad ﷺ) what is permissible (lawful) for them (from the various types of food). Say, "Permitted (made lawful) for you are the pure (wholesome) things and the (game hunted by) hunting animals (dogs and birds) that you tamed and trained (to hunt according to the injunctions of the Shari'ah), teaching them what (etiquette of hunting) Allaah had taught you. Eat of what they hunt for you (when they fulfil the conditions of the Shari'ah in hunting) and take the name of Allaah (when releasing the hunting dog or bird). Fear (the reckoning of) Allaah! Verily Allaah is swift in reckoning (so do not transgress the limits)."

• 5:5

  ٱلْيَوْمَ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتُ ۖ وَطَعَامُ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ حِلٌّ لَّكُمْ وَطَعَامُكُمْ حِلٌّ لَّهُمْ ۖ وَٱلْمُحْصَنَـٰتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ وَٱلْمُحْصَنَـٰتُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ إِذَآ ءَاتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ مُحْصِنِينَ غَيْرَ مُسَـٰفِحِينَ وَلَا مُتَّخِذِىٓ أَخْدَانٍ ۗ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِٱلْإِيمَـٰنِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُۥ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ

  Today the pure (wholesome) things have been permitted (made lawful) for you. The food of those who have been given the Book (those true Jews and Christians who do not commit Shirk and who slaughter in the name of Allaah) is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. So too (lawful for you Muslims) are the chaste Mu'mineen women and the chaste women of those who have been given the Book before you (Jews and Christians) when you give them their dowries, on the condition that you marry lawfully without fornicating or fostering secretive relations. Whoever rejects Imaan has indeed destroyed his actions and will be among the losers in the Aakhirah (if he dies without Imaan).

• 5:6

  يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ فَٱغْسِلُوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَرَافِقِ وَٱمْسَحُوا۟ بِرُءُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْكَعْبَيْنِ ۚ وَإِن كُنتُمْ جُنُبًا فَٱطَّهَّرُوا۟ ۚ وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَىٰٓ أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَآءَ أَحَدٌ مِّنكُم مِّنَ ٱلْغَآئِطِ أَوْ لَـٰمَسْتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا۟ مَآءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا۟ صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَٱمْسَحُوا۟ بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُم مِّنْهُ ۚ مَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْ حَرَجٍ وَلَـٰكِن يُرِيدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمْ وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

  O you who have Imaan! When you stand up to perform salaah, wash your faces, your arms up to (and including) the elbows, pass wet hands over your heads and (wash) your feet up to (and including) your ankles. If you are impure (in need of Ghusl), then purify yourselves well. If you are ill, on journey, returning from the toilet or from touching (engaging in sexual relations with) your wives, and you do not find any water (or you are unable to use water for Wudhu or for Ghusl), then use clean soil to perform Tayammum, wiping your faces and arms (including elbows) with it (with the soil). Allaah does not want to place any difficulty (hardship) on you (by forcing you to use water only), but wants to purify you (from dirt and from sin, because He is Pure and loves purity) and (wants to) complete His favour to you (by teaching you the laws of the Shari'ah) so that you may be grateful (Remember the boons and favours of your Rabb).

• 5:7

  وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَمِيثَـٰقَهُ ٱلَّذِى وَاثَقَكُم بِهِۦٓ إِذْ قُلْتُمْ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

  Remember the favour of Allaah on you (Islaam) and His pledge that He took from you when you said, "We hear and we obey (all Your commands) !" Fear Allaah! Verily Allaah knows (even) the secrets of the heart (such as one's sincerity or hypocrisy, boastfulness or humility).
