Ayat 44 Of Surat Ma'eda Considered.

[Abu Fauzi]

Assalam alaikum,

In Surat Ma'eda, ayat 44 of the Holy Qur'an, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,

''WE SENT DOWN THE TORAH, WHEREIN IS LIGHT AND GUIDANCE;
THEREBY THE PROPHETS, THOSE WHO ARE MUSLIMS, JUDGE FOR
THOSE WHO ARE JEWS''.

The Shari'a of the Messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, has established the Shari'a of preceding generations. His Law is its root, as he was sent ''to all people'' ( Qur'an 34:28 ), while this belonged to no other Prophet. ''People'' extend from Adam to the last human being, and among them there have been Laws, so they are the Laws of Muhammad in the hands of his deputies. For he is sent ''to all people'', so all the Messengers are his deputies, without doubt, Sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Thus when he came, he came with something great that comprised everything which was scattered among his deputies and something in addition. Hence God gave him the Mother of the Book, which comprised all the scriptures and books...ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMAD ANNABIYY UMMII,WA ALA AHLIHI, WA SAHBIHI WASALLIM.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ ﴿1:1﴾
(1:1) In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate *1



5:44)

Surely We revealed the Torah, wherein there is guidance and light. Thereby did Prophets - who had submitted themselves (to Allah) - judge for the Judaized folk; *72 and so did the scholars and jurists. *73 They judged by the Book of Allah for they had been entrusted to keep it, and bear witness to it. So (O Jews!) do not fear men but fear Me, and do not barter away My signs for a trivial gain. Those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are indeed the unbelievers.


72.

Here the verse tells the Jews that all the Prophets were muslims (submitters to God) whereas the Jews had deviated from islam (submission to God), and true to their chauvinistic sectarianism, were content with remaining merely 'Jews'.


*73.

Rabbani = religious scholars, theologians.

Ahbar = religious jurists.
