Quran Summary by Juz

Here you will find a summary of the quran divided into 30 parts (or 30 Juz as it is called in arabic). These are my notes based on video lectures offered by Shiekh Dr. Yasir Qadhi in Ramadan 2020

Juz 6

Suras 5. Al Ma’idah

Part 5

5 Al Ma’idah 

Banquet Table

Mai’da  is a table laid in with food. (Banquet table). Called final supper in Christianity. 

Revelation late Madani – Final Large Surah Revealed

  1. Nothing abrogated after it. Around hajj
  2. Mostly around 2 three months of death of Prophet ﷺ 
  3. One of the final verses today I have completed the religion. Came around Hijjah Tul Wida

Covenant with Allāh

  1. Aya 1 is ordering this. Addressed to  believers. Muslims have a contract with Allāh to only worship him, learn about their obligations and fulfill them by following the life of the Prophet ﷺ. 
  2. Paganism is gone and Islam is widespread in Arabia. 

Hajj – Sacred 

  1. First ayaat about hajj and it’s sacredness. How to show respect. 
  2. Ihram and Haram mean sacred and that in which specific laws cannot be violated. Like marriage in hajj cannot be done. 
  3. Showing respect to signs of Allah is a sign of Imaan. 
  4. Do not allow hatred to act unjustly now that you have power over disbelievers. Acting justly is the essence of piety. 

Permissible Food & Marriage 

  1. Aya 3, 4 and 5 mention what foods and marriage are permissible. 

Islam is Complete  – Judge by Laws of Allah (not Own)

  1. Aya 3. Today I have perfected my deen for you. The camel sat down when the Aya came down on Prophet ﷺ sitting on the camel. 
  2. Our deen is perfect does not need any innovation. 
  3. Aya 44, 45, 50 judging by laws of Allah. Those who do not are corrupters, ignorant and sinners. 
  4. Ethical and moral laws come from Allāh. We cannot come up with them. We have our own desires and customs which make us biased. 
  5. We take laws from Allāh. A large part of Islam is laws and they must be followed. 

Wudu, Ghusl

  1. Aya 6 on wudu, ghusl and Tayyammum

Ehkam – Rulings

  1. Aya 33 prohibition of Highway robbery and murders. 
  2. Aya 38 prohibition of  stealing. 
  3. Aya 45 Hukm of Qisas. Life for a life. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. 
  4. Aya 89 penalty for breaking oath
  5. Aya 90-91 prohibition of alcohol and gambling. Shaytaan wants people to fight and waste money with these. Whatever Allāh prohibits it is for our benefit
  6. Aya 96 Hunting haram and seafood halal. 

Extremism vs Liberalism 

  1. Aya 87. Do not prohibit which is allowed and do not make halal what is haram. 
  2. Islam is balance and moderation

Pure vs Filthy – own Responsibility

  1. Aya 100 “pure and filthy are never equal. Even if abundance of evil/filth bedazzles you.” Just because something surrounds you does not make it good. 
  2. Aya 105 “you are o it responsible for your own self. Whoever is astray will not harm you if you are guided. To Allāh is the return and he will tell you what you used to do.” Be good role models of others. 

Story of First Murder – Habil & Cabil

  1. First death on earth was murder two brothers. Reason was jealousy 
  2. Both brothers gave sacrifice and ones was accepted and other got jealous. Allah sent a crow how to bury the body. 
  3. Aya 32 whoever kills one as if killed all mankind and whoever saves one has saved all mankind. 

Bani Israel Lost in Desert 

  1. Aya 20-26 reason why they wandered. They were gifted holy landed and they refused to enter themselves. They did not want to fight.  They broke the covenant of Allah. 
  2. Aya 23 Allāh says two righteous people said go enter the gate when you enter you will prevail. Have tawakul on Allāh. 
  3. Aya 24 they said we will not go and fight. 
  4. They wandered in desert for 40 years and Musa عليه السلام died in the desert. 
  5. In next generation Joshua came and entered. 

Advice to Ahl e Kitab

  1. People of book you are not being faithful to own laws and books. 
  2. Aya 15 they have forgotten or neglected own revelation or picking or choosing. 
  3. Aya 47 let the people of Injil act upon on what Allah gave them. 
  4. Aya 68 o people of book you have no basis to stand upon until you yourself uphold Torah or Injil. 
  5. Aya 66 If you had been faithful to your own books and lived up to the laws Allāh had given them they would have had been blessed. Amongst them their are a good folk but many of them are doing evil. 
  6. Aya 12-end stories of Musa عليه السلام and isa عليه السلام 
  7. We as Muslims should also completely accept Islam and live upto own guidelines. 

Righteous Ahl e Kitab would Accept Islam

  1. If they lived up to own guidelines they would have had accepted Islam. 
  2. Aya 15 o people of the book our messenger has come to you clarifying much you had hidden and forgiving much of mistakes. 
  3. Aya 19 messenger has come to make things clear after their was pause in prophets coming (560 years pause). 
  4. We should talk to others about religion. 
  5. Aya 48 and we have revealed a book with truth confirming previous scriptures. And it is superseding it. Quran confirms and supersedes it. 
  6. Aya 59 say o people of the book do you resent us because we believe in Allah and revelation despite most of you being sinners and not living up to  your own laws. 

Criticism on Christian Theology

  1. Isa never claimed divinity and was human. (Aya 72) Isa himself ordered monotheism. 
  2. The bible even today does not have any statement from Isa about trinity, his own divinity or shirq. 
  3. Aya 17 those who say Isa is god have disbelieved. Who can prevent Allah from destroying Isa his mother and everything in the earth. 
  4. Aya 75 Isa and his mother used to eat
  5. Aya 73 nullifies trinity. There is only one God. 
  6. Aya 77 to Ahl e Kitab don’t go beyond the truth in religion and do no follow false ideas of people before you who themselves were astray. Christian doctrine doesn’t come from Isa and was developed by groups who were astray. This knowledge wasn’t available to arabs or our Prophet ﷺ. Itself this is a miracle. Paul claimed Isa died for sins, this was not true. Church fathers in 325 created trinity by whims is people who were misguided. 
  7. Bartehrman has written books on how Christianity does not go back to Isa. “How Jesus became God” book. 
  8. Aya 74. Why don’t they repent to Allah. Allah is forgiving. 

Story of Table Spread and Disciples 

  1. Actual disciples of Isa are praised in Quran. They never innovated
  2. They asked for food and Allāh gave them a table of food. After having this table Allāh said you can never leave Islam now. 
  3. With blessings come responsibility.
  4. Isa on day of Judgement 
  5. Aya 116-119 Allāh will ask Isa on judgement day if he asked people to worship him and he will deny. Allah will make judgement between righteous and evil. Sincere Christians who stayed on True guidance of Isa and never heard of Islam will have hope of salvation. 
  6. To Allah belongs the kingdom of all in heavens and earth. Allah has power over everything. 
The Quran and the Sunnah are the best gifts and let the believers rejoice for having them. Nothing in the Universe is better than these two gifts of Allah.
