Surah, Al-Ma’idah, (Arabic: ٱلمائدة, Al-Māʾidah; meaning: “The Table” or “The Table Spread with Food”) is the fifth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 120 verses (āyāt). Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is a “Medinan surah”, which means it is believed to have been revealed in Medina, instead of Mecca. The chapter’s topics include animals which are forbidden, and Jesus’ and Moses’ missions. Verse 90 prohibits “the intoxicant” (alcohol). Verse 8 contains the passage: “Do not let the hatred of a people lead you to injustice”.[1] Al-Tabligh Verse 67 is relevant to the Farewell Pilgrimage and Ghadir Khumm.[Quran 5:67] A folio from an 8th century Qur’anic codex, the text after the first red-ink inscription is of the beginning of Surah Al-Mā’idah Verses 5:32-33 have been quoted to denounce killing, by using an abbreviated form such as, “If anyone kills a person, it would be as if he killed the whole people: and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people”. The same formulation appears in the Mishnah in Sanhedrin.[2] However, a columnist for Mosaic presents evidence suggesting that this coincidence is part of the Quran’s critique of Judaism, and early Muslims were aware of this context
