5: (Al-Ma 'idah)- The Table

Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn . The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray .

Number of Rukus-16
Number of verses-120

Surah al-Maidah ('The Table-Spread') is the 5h chapter of the Qur'an
and one of the last Surahs to be revealed.  It is named after the
story of the Feast (Maidah) connected with the Disciples of Jesus
that appears at the end of the Surah.  The Surah is named after this
story because it is an anecdote that sums the whole Surah's focus,
covenants. It also shows that when a person accepts to enter into
a covenant with Allah, they are expected to fulfil their obligation
or else endure severe consequences.

Surah al-Maidah complements the discussion in the previous Surah on
social obligations.  This Surah starts with the command to 'fulfil
the covenants' (v.1) which not only encompasses covenants between
people, but also covenants between Allah and His servants. The Surah
then draws many analogies from the history of the People of the Book
who did not honor their covenants with Allah.  Believers are requested
to study the consequences of such deviations and avoid falling into
the same mistakes as previous nations.  It is for the central
theme of this chapter that it is also given the name Surah
al-'Uqood (Covenants).

The Table

•And when I (Allah) put in the hearts of Al-Hawarieen(the disciples) [of 'Iesa (Jesus)] to believe in Me and My Messenger, they said: "We believe. And bear witness that we are Muslims."(Remember) when Al-Hawariun (the disciples) said: "O 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Can your Lord send down to us a table spread (with food) from heaven?" 'Iesa (Jesus) said: "Fear Allah, if you are indeed believers."

They said: "We wish to eat thereof and to be stronger in Faith, and to know that you have indeed told us the truth and that we ourselves be its witnesses. 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: "O Allah, our Lord! Send us from heaven a table spread (with food) that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a festival and a sign from You; and provide us sustenance, for You are the Best of sustainers."

Allah said: "I am going to send it down unto you, but if any of you after that disbelieves, then I will punish him with a torment such as I have not inflicted on anyone among (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns)."And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): "O 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?' " He will say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden and unseen.

"Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allah) did command me to say: 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world)."If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise ."
