About Surah Al-Ma’idah:

Surah Al-Ma’idah (in Arabic text: ٱلمائدة‎) is the 5th chapter of the Qur’an. The surah titled in English means “The Table Spread” and it consists of 120 verses.

The surah reportedly has one of the last verses that were revealed to the Prophet (ﷺ), “This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion” (5:3) The surah mentions the famous dinner Isa (عليه السلام) had with his apostles. This is mentioned in v. 112-115 which is where the Surah takes it’s name, “The Table Spread with Food”.

This surah contains many important social and legal rulings concerning interfaith marriage with people of the book, lawful foods (such as banning of intoxicants like alcohol), pilgrimage, gambling, and other rituals.

Inspirational Quote:
“O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.”
