When any beast or fowl is taken in a snare, the blood should be poured out before it is lawful to be eaten. From things strangled; such as animals that die of themselves, or are torn with beasts, or are not killed in a proper way, by letting out their blood; but their blood is stagnated or congealed in the veins. Allah permitted mankind to eat the flesh of animals. Since they are Allah’s creatures, Allah had the right to tell man how they should slaughter and eat His animals.

30. Then the others (Cain’s) soul imposed on him the killing of his brother (Abel), so he killed him; then he became a loser34.

33. The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land36 is none but that they should be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or that they should be banished from the land 37.

41.O Messenger (i.e.,Prophet Muhammad), let not those grieve you40 who strive together in hastening to denial, among those who say with their mouths: "We believe," but their hearts believe not, and from among the Jews. They are avid listeners of falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you; they change the meaning (of the revealed) Words, taking them out of their context, saying: "If you are given this (teaching), take it, and if you are not given this, be cautious". Whoever Allah wants to put to trial, you cannot possess (power to do) anything for him against Allah. These are the ones for whom Allah does not intend that He purify their hearts. They will have disgrace in this world, and they will have a grievous torment in the Hereafter.
40. The relationship between the Qur’an, the final, overruling Book of God and the earlier ones.

42. (They like to) listen to falsehood, to devour what is unlawful. If they come to you, either judge between them or turn away from them. If you turn away from them, they will not harm you at all. But if you judge, then judge between them with justice. Indeed, Allah loves those who are just (and fair).
التفاسير العربية:
وَكَيۡفَ يُحَكِّمُونَكَ وَعِندَهُمُ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةُ فِيهَا حُكۡمُ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّوۡنَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٰلِكَۚ وَمَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
43. But how do they make you a judge and they have the Torah wherein is God’s Judgment? Yet they turn away after that41. But those are not (true) believers.
41.This also underlines the insincerity of the Jewish. How could Muhammad (ﷺ) be hopeful that they would resort to and abide by his code of law when they were irreverent of the very code of law (the Torah) they outwardly and to all appearances subscribed to!
التفاسير العربية:
إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَا ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ فِيهَا هُدٗى وَنُورٞۚ يَحۡكُمُ بِهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡلَمُواْ لِلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلرَّبَّٰنِيُّونَ وَٱلۡأَحۡبَارُ بِمَا ٱسۡتُحۡفِظُواْ مِن كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ وَكَانُواْ عَلَيۡهِ شُهَدَآءَۚ فَلَا تَخۡشَوُاْ ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱخۡشَوۡنِ وَلَا تَشۡتَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِي ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلٗاۚ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ
44. We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light; with it the Prophets who submitted themselves (to Allah) judged (matters) for the Jews, and the rabbis and the scholars (too judged by the Torah after those Prophets), as they were required to observe the Scripture of Allah, and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a worldly gain42. For whoever does not judge by what Allah has sent down, then it is those who are the deniers.
42. Those who were entrusted with preserving the Scripture of God, the Torah, at the time of the Prophet are especially cautioned not to make fear of influential people nor following their vain desires and greed put them off from fulfilling their task of safeguarding it against alteration and distortion. The guardians of Divine law should bear the fear of God first and foremost in their minds and not that of fellow men. They should pronounce the judgement of God as found in His Writ irrespective of the status or influence of the person who is affected by it. Nor are they to be swayed by bribes and worldly gains.

وَكَتَبۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ فِيهَآ أَنَّ ٱلنَّفۡسَ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ وَٱلۡعَيۡنَ بِٱلۡعَيۡنِ وَٱلۡأَنفَ بِٱلۡأَنفِ وَٱلۡأُذُنَ بِٱلۡأُذُنِ وَٱلسِّنَّ بِٱلسِّنِّ وَٱلۡجُرُوحَ قِصَاصٞۚ فَمَن تَصَدَّقَ بِهِۦ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٞ لَّهُۥۚ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ
45. We ordained for them in it (the Torah) that a life is for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds an equal retaliation. But he who remits it by way of charity, it will be an expiation for him43. Whoever does not judge by what Allah (God) has sent down, then it is they who are the unjust.
43. A person who is injured should not be driven by spitefulness and the desire to exact revenge. This spirit of forgiveness is not only encouraged by God but is also generously rewarded for.
التفاسير العربية:
وَقَفَّيۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم بِعِيسَى ٱبۡنِ مَرۡيَمَ مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلۡإِنجِيلَ فِيهِ هُدٗى وَنُورٞ وَمُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ وَهُدٗى وَمَوۡعِظَةٗ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ
46. We sent after them in their footsteps Jesus, the son of Mary44, confirming what was before him of the Torah and We gave him the Evangel in which was guidance and light, and confirming what was before it of the Torah and guidance and an admonition for the pious ones.
44. Muhammad, God’s Messenger said, "I am the nearest of all the people to Jesus, the son of Mary, and all the Prophets are paternal brothers, and there has been no Prophet between me and him (Jesus)."
التفاسير العربية:
وَلۡيَحۡكُمۡ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡإِنجِيلِ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فِيهِۚ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَٰسِقُونَ
47. Let the people of the Evangel judge by what Allah has sent down in it. For whoever does not judge by what Allah has sent down-then it is they who are the rebellious.
التفاسير العربية:
وَأَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَمُهَيۡمِنًا عَلَيۡهِۖ فَٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَهُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ عَمَّا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّۚ لِكُلّٖ جَعَلۡنَا مِنكُمۡ شِرۡعَةٗ وَمِنۡهَاجٗاۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ فِي مَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمۡۖ فَٱسۡتَبِقُواْ ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِۚ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ جَمِيعٗا فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ
48. We have sent down to you the Book (Qur’an) in truth, confirming what is before it of the Scripture and a Guardian over it45. So judge between them by what Allah has sent down, and do not follow their lowly desires over the Truth that has come to you. To each and every one of you did We appoint a Law and a way of life. And if Allah had willed, He would have made you (all) one nation (united in one religion, Islam), but He intended that He test you in what He has given you. So compete with one another in doing good deeds. To Allah is your (final) return, all together, and then He will inform you concerning that in which you used to differ.
45. Guardian over it, is encompassing the laws and dictates found in earlier Scriptures; establishing those which are still valid and overruling those which are not.
التفاسير العربية:
وَأَنِ ٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَهُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ وَٱحۡذَرۡهُمۡ أَن يَفۡتِنُوكَ عَنۢ بَعۡضِ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيۡكَۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَٱعۡلَمۡ أَنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُصِيبَهُم بِبَعۡضِ ذُنُوبِهِمۡۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَفَٰسِقُونَ
49. Hence judge between them by what Allah has sent down, and do not follow their vain desires, and be cautious of them, lest they turn you from part of what Allah has sent down to you (of revelation).If they turn away, then know that Allah intends to afflict them because of some of their sins; and indeed, many of the people are rebellious (against God).

50. Is it then the judgment of (the times of) ignorance that they desire46? Who is better than Allah to judge for a people who have certainty?
46. Those who do not surrender to the ruling of God and His Messenger are only opting for the ruling of ignorance itself; nothing but groundless laws set by people following their vain desires and basing them not on any of the Scriptures of God which are light and guidance to people.

51. Believers, do not take the Jews and the Nazarenes (Christians)47 for allies (and confidants), they are allies (and confidants) of one another. For whoever among you associates himself with them48, then he is one of them. Allah does not guide the unjust people.

52. You see those in whose hearts is a sickness (of doubt and hesitation) hastening into (association with the unbelieving Jews and Christians), saying: "We fear a misfortune may strike us." But perhaps Allah will bring victory or Command (an affliction) from Him, and they (the hypocrites) will become regretful from what they have been concealing within themselves.
التفاسير العربية:
وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمَعَكُمۡۚ حَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحُواْ خَٰسِرِينَ
53. Those who believe will say (about the hypocrites after their exposure): Are these the ones who swore by Allah (God) with their strongest oaths that they were with you? Their deeds have become worthless, and they have become losers49.
49. These hypocrites, honoring God with their lips while their hearts are far from Him. They worship God in vain, He avers, since they have abandoned “the commandment of God and hold in its place the tradition of men. Besides earning the Anger of God and having their thin cover blown, all what they bargained for and threw their weight behind came to nothing. Thus, the immensity of their loss.
التفاسير العربية:
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَن يَرۡتَدَّ مِنكُمۡ عَن دِينِهِۦ فَسَوۡفَ يَأۡتِي ٱللَّهُ بِقَوۡمٖ يُحِبُّهُمۡ وَيُحِبُّونَهُۥٓ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ يُجَٰهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ لَوۡمَةَ لَآئِمٖۚ ذَٰلِكَ فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤۡتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
54. Believers, whoever of you turns back from his religion (of Islam)50, then Allah will bring forth (in place of them) a people, whom He will love51 and they will love Him52, humble towards the believers, mighty against the deniers, striving hard in Allah’s Way and not fearing the blame of the blamers. This is Allah’s bounty, He gives it to whom He wills. For Allah is Ample-Giving, All-Knowing.
50. Disregarding the commandment of not aligning one’s self with the enemies of the believers is considered a renouncement of religion.

57. Believers, do not take for guardians (and confidants) those who take your religion as mockery and jest, among those who were given the Scripture before you (the Jews and Christians) and the disbelievers (the pagans). Fear Allah (God) and shun evil, if you are truly believers.

وَإِذَا نَادَيۡتُمۡ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ٱتَّخَذُوهَا هُزُوٗا وَلَعِبٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَوۡمٞ لَّا يَعۡقِلُونَ
58. When you call to prayer53, they make it as mockery and jest; this is because they are a people who do not understand.

60. Say: "Shall I inform you of (what is) worse than that in retribution?" (Worse are the unbelieving Jews) whom Allah has cursed and brought His wrath upon, and who He turned some of them into monkeys, pigs, and those who worshiped the devil. These are worse in position and more astray from the straight Path.
التفاسير العربية:
وَإِذَا جَآءُوكُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَقَد دَّخَلُواْ بِٱلۡكُفۡرِ وَهُمۡ قَدۡ خَرَجُواْ بِهِۦۚ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡتُمُونَ
61. When they (the unbelieving Jews) come to you (believers), they say: "We believe (in Allah and His messengers)". Indeed they enter with disbelief and they go forth with it - Allah knows best what they were hiding.

62. You will see many of them (the Jews) hastening into sin and aggression, and devouring of what is unlawfully acquired. Evil is that what they have been doing.

لَوۡلَا يَنۡهَىٰهُمُ ٱلرَّبَّٰنِيُّونَ وَٱلۡأَحۡبَارُ عَن قَوۡلِهِمُ ٱلۡإِثۡمَ وَأَكۡلِهِمُ ٱلسُّحۡتَۚ لَبِئۡسَ مَا كَانُواْ يَصۡنَعُونَ
63. Why do not (their) rabbis and scholars prohibit them from their speaking of what is sinful and their devouring of what is unlawfully acquired? Evil indeed is what they have been making.
التفاسير العربية:
وَقَالَتِ ٱلۡيَهُودُ يَدُ ٱللَّهِ مَغۡلُولَةٌۚ غُلَّتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَلُعِنُواْ بِمَا قَالُواْۘ بَلۡ يَدَاهُ مَبۡسُوطَتَانِ يُنفِقُ كَيۡفَ يَشَآءُۚ وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنۡهُم مَّآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغۡيَٰنٗا وَكُفۡرٗاۚ وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمُ ٱلۡعَدَٰوَةَ وَٱلۡبَغۡضَآءَ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ كُلَّمَآ أَوۡقَدُواْ نَارٗا لِّلۡحَرۡبِ أَطۡفَأَهَا ٱللَّهُۚ وَيَسۡعَوۡنَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَسَادٗاۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ
64. The Jews said: "The Hand of Allah is chained55!" Chained are their hands, and cursed are they for what they said. Rather, both His Hands are spread out, He spends freely as He wills. What has been sent down to you (of revelation) from (Allah) your Lord will certainly make many of them increase in arrogance and denial. We have put enmity and hatred among them (their various sects) till the Day of Resurrection. Whenever they (the Jews) kindle a fire for war, Allah extinguishes it. They strive to spread corruption in the land - Allah does not like the corrupters.
55. This is yet another example highlighting how rude the Jewish had become in their rebelliousness against God, not only by their sinful actions and their disregarding of His law but more seriously by slandering and speaking profanely against Almighty God. For this, they deservedly earned His Wrath and Damnation.

66. If only they had truly observed (the Laws of) the Torah and the Evangel and that which was sent down to them from (Allah) their Lord56, they would have enjoyed provision from above them and from beneath their feet. There is amongst them a just community (who embraced Islam), but (for) most of them, evil is that which they do.
56. E.g., the Psalms, without alteration, omission, or additions to the original text.

۞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرَّسُولُ بَلِّغۡ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَۖ وَإِن لَّمۡ تَفۡعَلۡ فَمَا بَلَّغۡتَ رِسَالَتَهُۥۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡصِمُكَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ
67.O Messenger (i.e.,Prophet Muhammad), convey (to the people the entire Message) that has been sent down to you from (Allah) your Lord. If you do not do that, then you have not conveyed His Message. Allah will protect you from the people. For Allah does not guide the denying people.
التفاسير العربية:
قُلۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَسۡتُمۡ عَلَىٰ شَيۡءٍ حَتَّىٰ تُقِيمُواْ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡۗ وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنۡهُم مَّآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغۡيَٰنٗا وَكُفۡرٗاۖ فَلَا تَأۡسَ عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ
68. Say: "O followers of the (past) Scriptures (Jews and Christians), you are not on valid ground (for your beliefs) until you keep up and truly observe the Torah and the Evangel and what is sent down to you from (Allah) your Lord (i.e., the Qur’an). Certainly, that which has been sent down to you from (Allah) your Lord makes many of them increase in arrogance and disbelief. So grieve not over the denying people.

70. We took the covenant from the children of Israel and sent them messengers. Whenever there came to them a messenger with that their souls did not desire, a part (of them) they denied and another party they killed.

71. They thought that there would be no trial57, so they became blind and deaf (to the Truth). Then Allah forgave them, yet again many of them became blind and deaf. Allah is All-Seeing of what they do.
57. They deceived themselves by selfishly thinking that they would not be ‘tried’ for their grievous offences. Such self-deceit blinded and deafened them to seeing and hearing the Truth, thus they will not find a way to it. Even after God relented towards them and guided them at a certain juncture of time, a great many of them still fell back into their old ways.
التفاسير العربية:
لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَارٖ
72. They certainly commit blasphemy (and invent falsehood those) who say: "(Jesus) Christ, the son of Mary is god (and savior)." But Jesus Christ has said: "Children of Israel, Worship Allah alone, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates (others) with Allah, then Allah has forbidden for him Paradise, and his home is the Hellfire. There will be no helpers (intercessors) for the unjust.

75. The Messiah, son of Mary (Jesus) is no more than (a servant and) messenger (of Allah). Indeed, before him (many) messengers had passed away; and his mother (Mary) was a truthful (and faithful) woman. They both used to eat food59. See how We make the Signs clear to them, then look how they are turned away.
59. They both were in need of sustenance, proving that they were not divine beings, unlike Allah Almighty Who is in no need of anything while everything is in need of Him.

Say: "O followers of the (past) Scriptures (Jews and Christians), do not exceed the limits in your deeds (and words) beyond the Truth, and do not follow the whims of a people (priests and pastors) who have gone astray before, for they led many astray and went astray themselves from the right Path.

78. Those who disbelieved among the children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of David and Jesus son of Mary60. This was because they disobeyed and used to transgress.

82. You find that, of all people, the most hostile to the believers, (to be) the Jews and those who associate others with Allah (God). And You find the nearest to the believers in affection (to be) those who say: "We are Christians," for among them are priests and monks who are not proud.

Muhammad, the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever testifies that there is no God but Allah alone without any partners, that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger, that Jesus is the servant of Allah and His messenger, His word which He bestowed upon Mary and a spirit from Him, and that Paradise is true and Hellfire is true, Allah will admit him into Paradise by whatever good deeds he had done.”
Jesus Christ described Himself as a servant, when He said, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” (Mark 10:45). Jesus Christ modeled complete servanthood as He lived among the children of Israel as a man and a messenger of Allah. He obeyed Allah's will.
Allah's servants were those who worshiped him and carried out his will, often in important leadership roles. Individuals such as Abraham ( Gen 26:24 ), Moses ( Exod 14:31 ; Deut 34:5 ), David ( 2 Samuel 7:5 2 Samuel 7:8 ), Isaiah (20:3), and Jesus were called Allah’s "servants" as they obediently served their Lord, Allah.

89. Allah (God) does not call you to account for your thoughtless oaths65, but He calls you to account for (breaking) your deliberate oaths. So its expiation is to feed ten destitute people with food, typical of that which you feed your own people, or to clothe them, or to set a slave free. Whoever cannot find this, he must fast for three days. That is the expiation of your oaths when you swear. So be careful of your oaths66. Thus does Allah make clear to you His Verses, that you may be grateful.

(Recall) when you designed out of clay a thing like the form of a bird by My Permission, then you breathed into it and it became a bird by My Permission. You healed the blind and the leprous by My Permission, and brought forth the dead by My Permission. I withheld the children of Israel from (killing or crucifying) you, when you came to them with clear Proofs, but those who denied among them said: "This is nothing but clear magic."
79. Jesus of all the other Messengers of God is singled out here and is minutely ‘questioned’ because the most deserving of admonishment are those who claim to be his followers. Other nations may have denied their Messengers but these made the single and most false claim about God Almighty Himself, whereby He has a mother, wife and a child, and around which they built their whole religion. The favours detailed here show in reality that Jesus is no more than a mere human Messenger of God.

You are the Great Knower of the unseen.'
