5-41


O messenger! do not let those persons grieve you, who rush towards infidelity from among those who say with their mouths, “”We believe,”” but their hearts do not believe and from those who are Jews, listeners of falsehood, listeners on behalf of other people who have not come to you, they alter the words after (knowing) their proper places, saying, “”If you are given this then take it and if you are not given this then be cautious.”” And for him, whose trial Allah intends, you will never have any power for him against Allah, those are the persons for whom Allah does not intend to clean their hearts. For them there is disgrace in the world and there is a great punishment for them in the hereafter.

Prophet Muhammed (PBH) is asked not to grieve for the hypocrites, the Jews whose evil practices are mentioned and also those whose hearts Allah (SWT) does not intend to clean for receiving belief, but if they seek justice he is advised to judge with justice.

And how do they make you a judge when they have the Torah with them, in which is the judgment of Allah? Then they will turn back even after that (i.e. after your judgment), and they are not with the believers. (R 6)

“Same to Verse No.41”

5-44


We had sent down the Torah, in it was guidance and light, the prophets who had submitted, had based their judgment on it for (judging) those who were Jews, (and so did) the rabbis and the priests, because they were required to guard the book (law) of Allah and they were witnesses over it. So do not fear human beings but fear Me and do not sell My signs for a small price, and whoever does not base his judgment on that which Allah has sent down (as Divine communication), then those are the infidels.

Judgment of disputes is to be based on the Divine communications, in the case of Jews, the Torah. This was done by prophets before Isa (PBH), Rabbis and priests. Details of the law of retaliation are given.

5-45


And We had prescribed for them therein that: The life for the life, and the eye for the eye, and the nose for the nose, and the ear for the ear, and the tooth for the tooth, and for the wounds retaliation, but whoever forgoes it as charity (by not retaliating) then that (forgoing of his) will wipe off (the effect) of his (evil). And whoever does not judge by that which Allah has sent down, then those are the unjust.

5-46


And We caused Isa, the son of Maryam, to follow in their (the earlier prophets) footsteps, confirming that which was before him of the Torah and We gave him the Injeel, in it was guidance and light, and a confirmation of that which was before it of the Torah and a guidance and an admonition for those who guard (against evil).

Christians should base the judgement of their disputes on the Injeel given to Isa (PBH).

5-47


And the owners of the Injeel should judge by that which Allah has sent down in it, and whoever does not judge by that which Allah has sent down, then those are the transgressors.

“Same to Verse No.46”

5-48


And We have sent down to you the book (Quran) containing the truth, a confirmation of what was before it of the book (Divine Law) and a guardian over it (earlier Divine Law), so judge between them by that which Allah has sent down and do not follow their desires (turning away) from the truth which has come to you. For everyone of you We have appointed a law and a way (to follow the law). And had Allah willed He would have made you a single community, but (He did not do so) to test you through that which He has given you, so compete in good deeds. Towards Allah is your return, of all (of you), then He will inform you about that in which you used to differ.

The Quran is a confirmation of and a guardian over earlier original Divine books. Muslims are required to base their decisions on the Quran the final Divine revelation. For every community, Allah (SWT) has appointed laws and layed down procedures to follow them. Allah (SWT) has made many communities to test them and accordingly He orders them to compete in good deeds. Allah (SWT) is the Best Judge 95:8 therefore all our decisions should be based on His final message, the Quran.

5-49


And (We repeat) that (you should) judge between them by that which Allah has sent down, and (that you should) not follow their desires, and be cautious of them lest they turn you away from part of that which Allah has sent down to you. Then if they turn back, then know that Allah intends to afflict them on account of some of their sins, and many of the human beings are certainly transgressors.

Then, do they seek the judgment of ignorance? And for a people who have certainty, who is better than Allah in judgment? (R 7)

“Same to Verse No.48”

Muslims are forbidden to take the Jews and the Christians as friends, an obvious reason is that they did not accept Muhammed (PBH) as the messenger of Allah (SWT) and the Quran as the message of Allah (SWT). Only those approach them for friendship in whose hearts is a disease and they are the losers.

5-52


So you see those in whose hearts is a disease, hastening towards them (for friendship) saying, “”We fear lest a change of fortune should befall us.”” But perhaps Allah will bestow (you) with victory or (send some other) commandment from His presence, then they will become regretters over that which they had hidden in their souls (minds).

“Same to Verse No.51”

5-53


And those who believe will say, “”Are these the persons who swore by Allah, being strong in their oaths, that they were with you?”” Their deeds have become fruitless therefore they have become losers. (P 5

And whoever turns (for friendship) to Allah and His messenger and those who believe, then (the members of this) team of Allah, they are certainly the victors. (R 8)

Say, “”O owners of the book! do you hate us (for anything) else than that we believe in Allah and that which is sent down to us and that which was sent down before?”” And that, “”Most of you are transgressors.””

Owners of the book are questioned for the reason for which they hate the believers, they are informed of the people who were cursed and their evil qualities are described.
