Lessons Learned from  Surah al-ma’idah

  1. Honour your contracts and promises.  
  2. Islām is the perfect and complete religion.  
  3. Sometimes, when instructing people to do something that they may find difficult, explain yourself to them.  
  4. You will always continue to hear of various deceptions from the majority of Jews.  
  5. MÅ«sā عليه السلام had a very difficult task in handling the BanÅ« Isrā’Ä«l; one that he accomplished successfully.

  6. The rebels are to be administered severe punishment for their crimes.  
  7. Whoever Allāh wishes to lead astray, even a Prophet cannot help them in any way. Therefore, we should always ask Allāh for guidance and steadfastness. 
  8. The disbelievers on the Day of Judgment will try their utmost to free themselves from the punishment of Jahannam, all in vain.[4]  
  9. Some people are so evil at heart, that clear revelation from Allāh drives them further in their mischief and disbelief, instead of bringing them closer.
  10. Despite all the blasphemy of the Jews, Allāh is still willing to forgive them if they turn to Him in sincere repentance.  
  11. Fulfil your oaths.  
  12. Shayṭān tries creating disunity and enmity between Muslims through sins: especially intoxicants and gambling, together with causing neglect in remembering Allāh.  
  13. Despite being Forgiving and Merciful, Allāh is also severe in punishment.
