The word Mesani Talmud states: "Righteous people of all nations have a share in the world to come" (Sanhedrin 105a). Any non-Jew who lives according to these laws is translated regarded as meaning one of "repetitionthe righteous among the gentiles" Two verses . [[Maimonides]] states that this refers to those who have acquired knowledge of G-d and act in Qur'an refer to Al mesani / Al mesaniy: 15:87and 39.23accordance with the Noahide laws.

:39.23 Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) '''repeating (its teaching in various aspects)''': the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah's praises. Such is the guidance of Allah: He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray, can have none to guide.==The Seven Laws==
Laws which were binding upon mankind at large even before the revelation at Sinai, and which are still binding upon non-Jews. The main text makes term Noachian indicates the universality of these ordinances, since the whole human race was supposed to be descended from the three sons of Noah, who alone survived the Flood. Although only those laws which are found in the earlier chapters of the Pentateuch, before the record of the revelation at Sinai, should, it clear would seem, be binding upon all mankind, yet the Rabbis discarded some and, by hermeneutic rules or in accordance with some tradition (see Judah ha-Levi, "Cuzari," iii. 73), introduced others which are not found there. Basing their views on the passage in Gen. ii. 16, they declared that somethingthe following six commandments were enjoined upon Adam: (1) not to worship idols; (2) not to blaspheme the name of G-d; (3) to establish courts of justice; (4) not to kill; (5) not to commit adultery; and (6) not to rob (Gen. R. xvi. 9, xxiv. 5; Cant. R. i. 16; comp. Seder 'Olam Rabbah, ed. Ratner, ch. v. and notes, Wilna, 1897; Maimonides, "Yad," Melakim, ix. 1). A seventh commandment was added after the Flood—not to eat flesh that had been cut from a book or a text called mesaniy / mesani living animal (Gen. ix. 4). Thus,the Talmud frequently speaks of "the seven laws of the sons of Noah," which were given regarded as obligatory upon all mankind, in contradistinction to Mohamed those that were binding upon Israelites only (pbuhTosef., 'Ab. Zarah, ix. 4; Sanh. 56a et seq.).
:15While many additions were made to these laws by some of the tannaim—e.g., the prohibitions against eating the blood of a living animal, against the emasculation of animals, against sorcery, against pairing animals of different species, and against grafting trees of different kinds (ib. 56b)—so that in one place thirty Noachian laws are mentioned (H.ul. 92a; comp. Yer. 'Ab. Zarah ii.87 And We have bestowed 1), the prevalent opinion in the Talmud is that there are only seven laws which are binding upon thee all mankind. In another baraita (Tanna debe Menasseh) the seven Noachian prohibitions are enumerated as applying to the '''Seven Oft-repeated following: (1) idolatry, (2) adultery, (3) murder, (4) robbery, (5) eating of a limb cut from a living animal, (6) the emasculation of animals, (verses7)''' and the Grand Qur'anpairing of animals of different species (Sanh. 56b).
Which implies that there were seven laws before the giving of the Qur'an. It is generally accepted that ''saban minel masani'' (Seven Oft-repeated verses) and ''quranel azim'' (Grand Reading/Qur'an) must be two different things because they are separated with conjunction waw. However many Islamic scholars are at a loss to defined what the Mesani is. The proposal that they are the seven laws of Noah has been found acceptable by certain muslims who have studied the issue and not found to be theologically problematic.==Laws Before Sinai==
In With regard to the Qur'an Noah is portrayed other laws which are mentioned in the Book of Genesis and which were not included among the Noachian laws, as prophet teaching , for instance, circumcision and the prohibition against idolatry even before eating of the "sinew that shrank," the Rabbis laid down the floodfollowing principle: "Every law that was enjoined upon the Noachide and was repeated at Sinai is meant to apply both to Israelites and to non-Israelites; laws that were enjoined upon the Noachide and were not repeated at Sinai apply to Israelites only" (Sanh. http://www59a; R. Jose ben H.anina; comp. Bacher, "Ag. Pal. Amor." i.usc430 and note).edu/dept/MSA/quran/071By this principle a number of the pre-Sinaitic laws were excluded from the Noachian laws, although it required a great deal of speculative reasoning to make this principle apply to all cases (Sanh.qmt59b).html
In the elaboration of these seven Noachian laws, and in assigning punishments for their transgression, the Rabbis are sometimes more lenient and sometimes more rigorous with Noachide than with Israelites. With but a few exceptions, the punishment meted out to a Noachide for the transgression of any of the seven laws is decapitation, the least painful of the four modes of execution of criminals (see [[Capital Punishment]]). The Qur'anic word "mesani" many formalities of procedure essential when the accused is an Israelite need not be observed in the case of the same word as Noachide. The latter may be convicted on the Hebrew word testimony of one witness, even on that of relatives, but not on that of a woman. He need have had no warning ("mishnahatra'ah" ) from the witnesses; and a single judge may pass sentence on him (repetitionib. 57a, b; "Yad," l.c. ix. 14). With regard to idolatry, and probably derived from he can be found guilty only if he worshiped an idol in the regular form in which that particular deity is usually worshiped; while in the case of blasphemy he may be found guilty, even when he has blasphemed with one of the hebrewattributes of G-d's name—an action which, if committed by an Israelite, would not be regarded as criminal (ib. 56b; see [[Blasphemy]]).
== Qur'an 17:22-36 Procedure==# Qur'an 17:22 Take not with Allah another object of worship; or thou (O man!) wilt sit in disgrace and destitution. # Qur'an 17:23 Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. # Qur'an 17:32 Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils). # Qur'an 17:33 Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the Law). # Qur'an 17:34 Come not nigh to the orphan's property except to improve it, until he attains the age of full strength; and fulfil (every) engagement, for (every) engagement will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning). # Qur'an 17:35 Give full measure when ye measure, and weigh with a balance that is straight: that is the most fitting and the most advantageous in the final determination. # Qur'an 17:36 And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).
== Qur'an 17:22-36 The Noachide are required to establish courts of justice in every city and province; and these courts are to judge the people with regard to the six laws and to warn them against the transgression of any of them (ib.; "Ten CommandmentsYad," ==It l.c. ix. 14, x. 11; comp. Nah.manides on Gen. xxxiv. 13, where the opinion is interesting expressed that these courts should judge also cases other than those coming under the head of the six laws, as, for example, larceny, assault and battery, etc.). In the case of murder, if these verse correspond to the Noachide slay a child in its mother's womb, or kill a person whose life is despaired of ("Ten Commandmentst.erefah"), only seven or if he cause the death of them appear:a person by starving him or by putting him before a lion so that he can not escape, or if he slay a man in self-defense, the Noachide is guilty of murder and must pay the death-penalty, although under the same circumstances an Israelite would not be executed (ib. 57b; "Yad," l.c. ix. 4; comp. "Kesef Mishneh," ad loc.).
A possible Only six cases of what would ordinarily be illicit connection between are forbidden to the QurNoachide: (1) with mother; (2) with father'an 17:22-36 and s wife, even after the "Ten Commandments" might be:# Qurfather'an 17:22s death; (3) with a married woman, 23 You shall have no other Gods before me whether married to a Jew or to a non-Jew; (1st commandment4) # Qur'an 17:23 Honour your father and your with sister by the same mother ; (5th commandment5)# Qur'an 17:32 You shall not commit adultery pederasty; (7th commandment6)# Qur'bestiality. In these cases also there are differences in the punishment inflicted, dependent upon whether the offenses are committed by a Noachide or by an 17:33 You shall not kill Israelite (6th commandment)# Qur'an 17:34 You shall not covet your neighbor’s housesee "Yad, you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife" l.c.ix.5-8). manservantThe Noachide is punished with decapitation for all kinds of robbery, whether from a Jew or from a non-Jew, even though the article stolen is worth less than a perut.ah (the smallest Palestinian coin, for less than which no case can be instituted against an Israelite)... maidservant.... his ox.... his ass...anything that The Noachide is your neighbor’s (10th commandment)# Qur'executed also if he eat of a limb cut from a living animal, even though the quantity consumed be less than the size of an 17:35 You shall not steal olive (8th commandment)# Qur'the minimum portion for the eating of which an 17:36 You shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor (9th commandmentIsraelite may be punished; "Yad," l.c. ix. 9-13).
The second, third and fourth commandments (You shall not make unto thee any graven image or likeness of any thing. You shall not take the name of the L-rd your G-d in vain. Remember the Sabbath day) were left out perhaps as not being applicable to Islam, being particular to Judaism. The key may be in Qur'an 15:87 “..We have given you seven (sections) of mesaniy and this great Qur'an..” Perhaps these seven were derived by Qur'an from Noahide law instead.==Special Exceptions==
== Qur'The Noachide is free from punishment if he commits a sin unwittingly; ignorance of the Law, however, does not excuse him. If he commits a sin under duress, even one for which an 17:22-36 Israelite is obliged to undergo martyrdom rather than transgress (e.g., idolatry, adultery, or murder), he is not liable to punishment (Mak. 9a; Sanh. 74b; "Yad," l.c. x. 1, 2; comp. "Leh.em Mishneh" and Noahide law =="Kesef Mishneh," ad loc.). A Noachide who slays another Noachide, or worships idols, or blasphemes, or has illicit connection with the wife of another Noachide, and then becomes a proselyte, is free from punishment. If, however, he has killed an Israelite, or has had illicit connection with the wife of an Israelite, and then becomes a proselyte, he must submit to the punishment that is inflicted upon an Israelite found guilty of such a transgression (Sanh. 71b; "Yad," l.c. x. 4).
A possible connection between Noachide who wishes to observe any of the laws of the Qur'an 17:22-36 and Noahide law might be:# Qur'an 17:22 Avodah zarah - Do Torah is not worship false godsprevented from doing so. With regard to the prohibition against a Noachide studying the Law or observing the Sabbath, see [[Gentile]] in Relation to Jews.  He who observed the seven Noachian laws was regarded as a foreign resident (1st Noahide law)# Qur, 'an 17:23 Birkat Hashem - blasphemyAb. (5th Noahide lawZarah 64b; see [[Ger Toshav]])# Qur'an 17:32 Gilui arayot - Do not be sexually immoral , as one of the pious of the Gentiles, and was assured of a portion in the world to come (4th Noahide lawTosef., Sanh. xiii. 1; Sanh. 105a; comp. ib. 91b; "Yad," l.c. viii. 11)# Qur'an 17:33 Shefichat damim - Do not murder. (2nd Noahide law)# Qur'an 17:34 Dinim In Talmudic times the non- Set up a system Jews of honestBabylon were apparently sunk in the grossest immorality, so that 'Ula, effective courtsone of the earlierBabylonian amoraim, police and complains that out of the thirty laws. (7th Noahide lawsee above)# Qur'an 17:35 Gezel - Do which the Noachide accept they observe only three—they do not steal or kidnap write a marriage contract (3rd Noahide law"ketubah")# Qur'an 17:36 Ever min ha-chai - Do for pederasty; they do not eat of any living animal sell human flesh in their shops; and they show respect for the Torah (6th Noahide lawH.ul. 92b)??? (although . In the Messianic age the Noachide will accept all the last is specifically mentioned by laws of the QurTorah, although later they will again reject them (Yer. 'Ab. Zarah ii. 1). ==Bibliography==* Hamburger, R. B. T. ii., s.v.
