Understanding Al-Ma'idah

Al-Ma'idah emphasizes keeping covenants, respecting lawful boundaries, acting justly and remaining faithful to revelation. It also revisits the messages of earlier communities and the account of Jesus and his disciples. This page intentionally separates the translated Quran text from IHSAYA's short educational summary.

Keep your commitments

The Surah opens with the language of covenants and repeatedly treats promises and obligations as serious trusts.

Justice without favoritism

Dislike of others is not allowed to become an excuse for injustice.

Faithfulness to revelation

Earlier communities are discussed as a warning against selectively accepting or altering divine guidance.
