Ayah 2 (cont...

)
When the arabs used to travel for hajj, they would put a
specific type of necklace in the neck of the animal so it was
showed that this animal was going for sacrifice.
Even now it is permissble to put a particular mark on it (on
the neck) to show it is going for sacrifice.
And do not violate the sanctity to those who are
going to the sacred house...
Do not violate the safety for those people.
Aameen (Aamm) - Hamza Meem Meem - To intend, To go
toward
They are going there to seek the bounty and gain his
pleasure...
The reason why they are going for Hajj is for Allah swt's
benefit of this Dunya and as well as Akhira. They don't just
go to seek pleasures of the Akhira, but also for this world.
They also seek the pleasure of Allah swt.
And when you have put off your Ihram...
Halaltum- Ha Laam Laam - To untie
When the restrictions of Ihram are off of you then you can
hunt.
Fastawdu - Sawd Ya Daal - Hunt
This doesn't mean that when a person takes off Ihram, he
HAS to hunt, this is just a permission. Example: Surah Juma

the places, time and rituals.. He must be very respectful to
everyone and everything over there. (See: Surah Hajj Ayah
12)
Help one another in good, do not help one another in bad
Have Taqwa of Allah swt at alll times
Follow the commands of Allah swt as they are told
Ayah 3

Eating these animals are prohibited to you by Allah swt.

Ayah 4
They ask you as to what has been made lawful for
them...
They ask you, what is Halal for them..

at that time as Mukallibeen you should say 'Bismillah'
2. Even when you are eating the animal, at that time you
should say 'Bismillah'
And fear Allah, Indeed Allah swt is swift in taking
account...
Allah swt is very quick in taking Hisaab (account) so
becareful about what you say and what you eat.
We learn:
The greed/desire the Sahabah had for correct knowledge.
Knowledge about Halal and Haram.
Say Allah swt's name before doing everything and anything
Whatever Allah swt has made Halal for us in beneficial for us.
Ayah 5
This day, all good foods have been made lawful for
you...
This day: Day of A'rafah.
Surah Maedah is the last surah to be revealed in the Quran,
whatever is halal is considered to be halal is considered halal
and haram is haram.
Good things are lawful are all lawful.

And food of those people who were given the book is

permissible for you...
Ta'aam does not refer to everything that is eaten (such as
fruits and vegetables). It refers to meat. This does not refer
to all meat, it is all meat which is lawful (like meat which is
qualified as Ayah 3). If the people of the book say it is halal,
just accept it because its not nice to ask where they got it for
you. The meat that they slaughter properly by saying Allah
swt's name and the method of slaughter is also proper is
permissble for you.
And your food is lawful for them...
You are allowed to offer your food to them. If you sell them
your meat and take some money in exchange, that money is
a lawful earning. There is nothing wrong in offering your
meat for them. Do not think that halal meat is only for us..
And the chaste women from the believers...
The chaste women among the believers
And the chaste women of those people who were
given the book before you...
They are lawful for you for marriage.
The condition is Muhsanah..Not just any jewish or christian
women..She has to be chaste, a righteous clean women.
The Prophet s.a.w said, the women is married for her deen,
beauty or wealth.. As Muslims, we should go for the deen
one. Select a women who is good in deen.
Muhsinah from Mu'minah is married first. It is also
permissble to marry a jewish or christian Muhsanah.
A Muslim man is allowed to marry a chaste jewish or
christian because he is the Qawwam.. The women is not the
Qawwam.
When you have given them (the women) their dowry
(Mehr)...

When the man benefits the women through the marriage

relationship, he must benefit her too. This starts from the
moment of Nikaah. Even if you marry a christian or jewish
women, you still have to give her dowry. It is possible it is not
in their religion, but it is in your religion.
Ones being chaste...
When you marry these women, you have to be chaste.
Muhsineena - Men also have to be chaste
Once you establish marriage between them, fortify yourself.
If you want to make her halal for yourself, you must have the
Nikaah and give her the Mehr. The purpose of marriage is to
protect yourself.
Not ones who are fornicators...
When you have relationship with these women, you should
not have relationship with these women outside of the
marriage.. Do not commit Zinah with them. The purpose of
marriage is not just to satisfy ones sexual desire but you are
living as a family.
And nor as ones who take secret friends...
Meaning, you o men! do not take these women as secret
friends.
Khidn - Illesite lover who had sexual intercourse
Don't take these women as secret friends..You cannot go
have sexual intercourse with them.
Whoever does Kufr with Imaan...
He says he is a believer but in his actions he rejects.
Then his deeds are finished...
His deeds has been wasted because of the Kufr he has
committed.
And he will be in the hereafter of those who are
loosers...

If he dies in this state, he will be of those people who are

loosers in the Akhira.
We Learn:
The matter of making something halal or haram is for Allah swt to
decide.
The food of the Yahood and the Nasara is permissble for a person
to consume.. Only the Yahood and the Nasara, not other than
them.
There is no harm in eating the food of the people of the book and
offering them our food.
The permission and the annoying Kitaabi Muhsanaat (People of
the book chaste women)
Giving Mehr to the women in order to make her permissble for
oneself.
Obligation of publising the Nikaah
The prohibition of any secret relationship between any non
mehram man and women.
A person who does Kufr with Iman and claims to be Iman, then his
good deeds will be wasted.
