05 Al-Maidah Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Back to Al-Maidah

5. Surah Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread) is the 5th chapter of the Quran, consisting of 120 verses. Belonging entirely to the late Madani period, it stands as one of the final major chapters revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. It functions structurally as a legal climax to the Quran, cementing final dietary, civil, contractual, and ritual laws for a completely sovereign Muslim civilization.
