Allah loveth the equitable.” (5:42) 46 00:03:51,139 --> 00:03:59,060 So if they come to you, judge between them or turn away from them. 47 00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:05,699 “Listeners for the sake of falsehood! Greedy for illicit gain! If then they have recourse unto thee (Muhammad) judge between them or disclaim jurisdiction. If thou disclaimest jurisdiction, then they cannot harm thee at all. But if thou judgest, judge between them with equity. Lo! Allah loveth the equitable.” (5:42) 48 00:04:05,860 --> 00:04:12,259 And if you judge, judge between them with justice. 49 00:04:12,259 --> 00:04:19,339 Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. 50 00:04:19,339 --> 00:04:25,339 These Jews are characterized by listening to false speech and lies. 51 00:04:25,339 --> 00:04:32,120 They accept bribes and consume them, based on their lies against Allah and their fabrications about Him. 52 00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:37,160 If these "other people" come to you—those who have not yet come to you— 53 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,319 And they are the people of the adulterous woman seeking your judgment, 54 00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:49,079 Then judge between them, if you wish, with the truth that Allah has established as a ruling for those who commit the act of the adulterous woman. 55 00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:53,319 Or turn away from them, and decline to judge between them if you wish. 56 00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:58,199 And if you, O Muhammad, turn away from the People of the Scripture who seek your judgment, 57 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,759 They will never be able to harm you in your religion or your worldly life. 58 00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:06,040 But if you choose to judge and deliberate, O Muhammad, 59 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:12,680 Then judge between them with justice; indeed, Allah loves those who are just in their judgment among people. 60 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,389 Those who judge between them according to the law of Allah. 61 00:05:16,389 --> 00:05:23,189 “How come they unto thee for judgment when they have the Torah, wherein Allah hath delivered judgment (for them)? Yet even after that they turn away. Such (folk) are not believers.” (5:43) 62 00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:32,069 “How come they unto thee for judgment when they have the Torah, wherein Allah hath delivered judgment (for them)? Yet even after that they turn away. Such (folk) are not believers.” (5:43) 63 00:05:32,069 --> 00:05:39,500 And those are not believers. 64 00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:44,300 And how could these Jews appoint you as a judge, O Muhammad, between them, 65 00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:48,459 While they possess the Torah which I revealed to Moses, peace be upon him? 66 00:05:48,459 --> 00:05:51,930 Which they acknowledge to be the truth. 67 00:05:52,009 --> 00:05:56,649 And they know that My ruling within it for the married adulterer is stoning. 68 00:05:56,649 --> 00:05:59,050 And despite their knowledge of that, 69 00:05:59,050 --> 00:06:03,769 They abandon the ruling of it out of audacity toward Me and disobedience to Me. 70 00:06:03,769 --> 00:06:06,170 It is not the one who does this act— 71 00:06:06,170 --> 00:06:10,569 Meaning, whoever turns away from the ruling of Allah which He revealed to His Prophet— 72 00:06:10,569 --> 00:06:13,769 Who is the one that truly believes in Allah and His Messenger. 73 00:06:13,769 --> 00:06:16,170 This is a rebuke to the Jews. 74 00:06:16,250 --> 00:06:17,930 He says to them: 75 00:06:17,930 --> 00:06:22,970 How can you acknowledge the judgment of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, 76 00:06:22,970 --> 00:06:25,209 While simultaneously rejecting his prophethood? 77 00:06:25,209 --> 00:06:28,730 And you abandon the ruling which you acknowledge, 78 00:06:28,730 --> 00:06:33,399 Which Moses brought to you from Allah. 79 00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:41,579 Indeed, We revealed the Torah, in which is guidance and light. 80 00:06:41,579 --> 00:06:47,579 “Lo! We did reveal the Torah, wherein is guidance and a light, by which the prophets who surrendered (unto Allah) judged the Jews, and the rabbis and the priests (judged) by such of Allah's Scripture as they were bidden to observe, and thereunto were they witnesses. So fear not mankind, but fear Me. And My revelations for a little gain. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are disbelievers.” (5:44) 81 00:06:47,579 --> 00:06:54,699 And the rabbis and the scholars. 82 00:06:54,699 --> 00:07:02,220 “Lo! We did reveal the Torah, wherein is guidance and a light, by which the prophets who surrendered (unto Allah) judged the Jews, and the rabbis and the priests (judged) by such of Allah's Scripture as they were bidden to observe, and thereunto were they witnesses. So fear not mankind, but fear Me. And My revelations for a little gain. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are disbelievers.” (5:44) 83 00:07:02,220 --> 00:07:05,819 So do not fear the people, but fear Me. 84 00:07:05,819 --> 00:07:11,339 And do not exchange My verses for a small price. 85 00:07:11,339 --> 00:07:21,350 “Lo! We did reveal the Torah, wherein is guidance and a light, by which the prophets who surrendered (unto Allah) judged the Jews, and the rabbis and the priests (judged) by such of Allah's Scripture as they were bidden to observe, and thereunto were they witnesses. So fear not mankind, but fear Me. And My revelations for a little gain. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are disbelievers.” (5:44) 86 00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:29,829 Indeed, We revealed the Torah, in which is the clarification of what these Jews asked you about regarding the ruling for the two married adulterers. 87 00:07:29,829 --> 00:07:33,029 And in it is a light of judgment. 88 00:07:33,029 --> 00:07:39,189 The prophets who submitted to the judgment of Allah and acknowledged it judge by the law of the Torah. 89 00:07:39,269 --> 00:07:45,269 And the scholars, the wise, and those with insight into the governance of people and the management of their affairs. 90 00:07:45,269 --> 00:07:50,389 And the scholars who judge matters according to the knowledge of the Torah entrusted to them. 91 00:07:50,389 --> 00:07:56,149 They were witnesses over the judgment of the prophets who submitted to those who followed Judaism. 92 00:07:56,149 --> 00:08:02,310 That they judged them according to the Book of Allah which He revealed to His Prophet Moses, peace be upon him. 93 00:08:02,310 --> 00:08:07,829 So do not fear the people in implementing the ruling that I have decreed for My servants. 94 00:08:07,910 --> 00:08:13,430 For they cannot cause you any harm or bring you any benefit except by My permission. 95 00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:22,360 And do not take, by abandoning the judgment of the verses of the Book which I revealed to Moses, O rabbis, a base compensation. 96 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:28,759 And whoever conceals the ruling of Allah which He revealed in His Book, hiding it and judging by other than it, 97 00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:34,120 They are the ones who covered the truth which they were obligated to reveal and clarify. 98 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:42,629 They hid it from the people, manifested something else to them, and judged by it for a bribe they took from them for it. 99 00:08:42,629 --> 00:08:57,669 “And We prescribed for them therein: 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 wounds retaliation. But whoso forgoeth it (in the way of charity) it shall be expiation for him. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are wrong-doers.” (5:45) 100 00:08:57,669 --> 00:09:09,990 “And We prescribed for them therein: 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 wounds retaliation. But whoso forgoeth it (in the way of charity) it shall be expiation for him. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are wrong-doers.” (5:45) 101 00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:25,269 “And We prescribed for them therein: 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 wounds retaliation. But whoso forgoeth it (in the way of charity) it shall be expiation for him. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are wrong-doers.” (5:45) 102 00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:32,309 And We ordained for the Jews in the Torah that a life should be taken for a life. 103 00:09:32,309 --> 00:09:39,830 And We ordained for them therein that an eye should be gouged for an eye that its owner gouged from another person. 104 00:09:39,830 --> 00:09:46,789 And the nose for the nose, the ear for the ear, and the tooth for the tooth. 105 00:09:46,789 --> 00:09:56,169 And there is legal retribution for injuries; whoever gives it up as charity, it is an expiation for him—for the injured party. 106 00:09:56,169 --> 00:10:00,250 For charity is what expiates the sin of its giver. 107 00:10:00,250 --> 00:10:09,210 And whoever does not judge by what Allah revealed in the Torah, regarding the retribution of a life for a life taken unjustly, 108 00:10:09,210 --> 00:10:18,620 But rather executes retribution for some and not for others, then whoever does that is among those who have transgressed the law of Allah. 109 00:10:18,620 --> 00:10:29,100 “And We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow in their footsteps, confirming that which was (revealed) before him in the Torah, and We bestowed on him the Gospel wherein is guidance and a light, confirming that which was (revealed) before it in the Torah - a guidance and an admonition unto those who ward off (evil).” (5:46) 110 00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:49,269 And We gave him the Gospel, in which is guidance and light, confirming what was before it of the Torah, and as guidance and instruction for the righteous. 111 00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:56,230 And We followed up with Jesus, son of Mary, in the footsteps of the prophets who submitted before you, O Muhammad. 112 00:10:56,389 --> 00:11:03,370 So We sent him confirming the Book which We revealed to Moses before him, that it is the truth. 113 00:11:03,370 --> 00:11:06,169 And We revealed to him the Gospel. 114 00:11:06,169 --> 00:11:10,809 In it is the clarification of what people were ignorant of regarding the ruling of Allah in his time. 115 00:11:10,809 --> 00:11:13,929 And in it is a light for those who act in ignorance. 116 00:11:13,929 --> 00:11:19,210 And We revealed the Gospel to Jesus, confirming the scriptures before it. 117 00:11:19,210 --> 00:11:24,570 And as a clarification of the ruling of Allah that He approved for His servants in the time of Jesus. 118 00:11:24,649 --> 00:11:29,529 And as a warning to the righteous who feared Allah and were wary of His punishment. 119 00:11:29,529 --> 00:11:32,809 So they feared Him by obeying Him in what He commanded them. 120 00:11:32,809 --> 00:11:36,740 And they were wary of Him by abandoning what He forbade them from doing. 121 00:11:36,740 --> 00:11:44,019 “Let the People of the Gospel judge by that which Allah hath revealed therein. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are evil-livers.” (5:47) 122 00:11:44,019 --> 00:11:54,820 “Let the People of the Gospel judge by that which Allah hath revealed therein. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are evil-livers.” (5:47) 123 00:11:54,820 --> 00:11:58,740 And We commanded the people of the Gospel to follow what Allah revealed in it. 124 00:11:58,740 --> 00:12:01,820 But they altered its ruling and opposed it. 125 00:12:01,820 --> 00:12:08,649 And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, then it is they who are the ones departing from the command of Allah. 126 00:12:08,649 --> 00:12:13,289 “And unto thee have We revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it. So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires away from the truth which hath come unto thee. For each We have appointed a divine law and a traced-out way. Had Allah willed He could have made you one community. But that He may try you by that which He hath given you (He hath made you as ye are). So vie one with another in good works. Unto Allah ye will all return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ.” (5:48) 127 00:12:13,289 --> 00:12:22,649 “And unto thee have We revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it.
