The Talmud states: word Mesani is translated as meaning "repetition"Righteous people of all nations have a share Two verses in the world Qur'an refer to come" ([[Sanhedrin 105a]])Al mesani / Al mesaniy: 15:87and 39.23.
[[Maimonides]] says any non-Jew who accepts the seven commandments Qur'an 39:23 makes it clear that there is a mesani / mesaniy and is careful to perform them – this person is of the ''[[Chasidei Umos HaOlam]]'Qur'an, and has a portion in the world to come. They accept these seven commandments and performs them because they were commanded by G-d in ancient times, as revealed to us by Moshe Rabbenu. are separate:
However, if :39.23 Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the non-Jew keeps these laws because form of intellectual decision – he is not called a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) '''repeating (its teaching in various aspects)'[[Ger Toshav]]'' : the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and is not their hearts do soften to the celebration of the ''[[Chasidei Umos HaOlam]]'Allah's praises. He Such is only one the guidance of their [[Chochmei Umos HaOlam|wise men]].<ref>[[Maimonides' Law of Noahides#Laws of Kings and their WarsAllah: He guides therewith whom He pleases, Chapter 8|Mishneh Torahbut such as Allah leaves to stray, Melachim 8:11]]</ref>can have none to guide.
==The Seven Laws==The very first time in the Bible that the verb ''tsavah'' (צָוָה, “to command”) appears is in the verse "And the L-rd G-d commanded the man saying, of every tree of the garden you may freely eat" (Genesis 2:16). Rabbinic tradition understands this first commandment to ''Adam HaRishon'' as including the entire Noahide Law:<ref>[[Sanhedrin 56a-b|Sanhedrin 56]]. This is according to Rabbi Johanan. Rabbi Isaac reverses the first and third verses.</ref># ''And [He] commanded'', refers to '''legal system''', and thus main text makes it is written, For I know him, clear that he will command his children and his household after himsomething, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment.# ''The L-rd'' — is [a prohibition against] '''blasphemy''', and thus it is written, and he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put book or a text called mesaniy / mesani were given to death.# ''G-d'' — is [an injunction against] '''idolatry''', and thus it is written, Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.# ''The man'' — refers to '''homicide''', and thus it is written, Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed.# ''Saying'' — refers to '''sexual immorality''', and thus it is written, They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and became another man's.# ''Of every tree of the garden'' — but not of '''theft'''.# ''Thou mayest freely eat'' — but not '''limb of a living creature'''Mohamed (pbuh).
The seven laws listed by the Talmud are<ref>[[Sanhedrin 56a-b|Sanhedrin 56]]</ref># [[Imperative of Legal System]]: - An imperative to pursue social justice, and a prohibition of any miscarriage of justice15.# [[Prohibition of Blasphemy]]: - Prohibits a curse directed at 87 And We have bestowed upon thee the Supreme Being.# [[Prohibition of Idolatry]]: '''Seven Oft- Prohibits the worship of idols repeated (verses)''' and planets.# [[Prohibition of Homicide]]: - Prohibits murder and suicide.# [[Prohibition of Sexual Immorality]]: - Prohibits adultery, incest, homosexuality, and bestiality.# [[Prohibition of Theft]]: - Prohibits the wrongful taking of anotherGrand Qur's goodsan.# [[Prohibition of Limb of a Living Creature]]: - Prohibits the eating of animal parts which were severed from a living animal (traditionally interpreted as a prohibition of cruelty towards animals)
Maimonides list them in this order Which implies that there were seven laws before the giving of the Qur'an. It is generally accepted that ''saban minel masani'' (the order most commonly usedSeven Oft-repeated verses)<ref>[[Maimonidesand '' Law of Noahides#Laws of Kings and their Wars, Chapter 9|Mishneh Torah, Melachim 9:1]]<quranel azim'' (Grand Reading/ref># [[Prohibition of Idolatry]]# [[Prohibition of Blasphemy]]# [[Prohibition of Homicide]]# [[Prohibition of Sexual Immorality]]# [[Prohibition of Theft]]# [[Prohibition of Limb of Qur'an) must be two different things because they are separated with conjunction waw. However many Islamic scholars are at a Living Creature]]# [[Imperative loss to defined what the Mesani is. The proposal that they are the seven laws of Legal System]]Noah has been found acceptable by certain muslims who have studied the issue and not found to be theologically problematic.
Most modern Noahide literature follows this ordering, mostly due to In the work of [[Chabad Lubavitch]], which sees in the list a correspondence to the seven [[Sefiros]] (For example "Legal System" Qur'an Noah is a translation of portrayed as prophet teaching against idolatry even before the hebrew word ''Dinim'' which seems obviously connected to ''Malchus'', as in ''Dina DeMalchusa Dina'')flood.<ref>cf[http://www. "The Seven Colors usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/071.qmt.html Translations of the Rainbow" by Rabbi Yirmeyahu BindmanQur'an, chapter 6Chapter 71: NOOH]</ref>
==Rabbinical Source==The Qur'anic word "mesani" is the same word as the Hebrew word "mishna" (repetition), and probably derived from the hebrew.
The Seven Laws are laws which were binding upon mankind at large even before the revelation at Sinai, == Qur'an 17:22-36 ==# Qur'an 17:22 Take not with Allah another object of worship; or thou (O man!) wilt sit in disgrace and which are still binding upon non-Jewsdestitution. The term Noachide indicates the universality of these ordinances# Qur'an 17:23 Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, since according and that ye be kind to Jewish tradition the whole human race is descended from the three sons of Noah, who alone survived the Floodparents. Although Whether one would think that only those laws which are found or both of them attain old age in the earlier chapters of the Torahthy life, before the record say not to them a word of the revelation at Sinaicontempt, should be binding upon all mankindnor repel them, yet the Rabbis discarded some but address them in terms of honour. # Qur'an 17:32 Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) andan evil, by hermeneutic rules or in accordance with some tradition <ref>see Judah haopening the road (to other evils). # Qur'an 17:33 Nor take life -Levi, "Cuzari," 3:73</ref>, introduced others which are not found thereAllah has made sacred - except for just cause. Basing their views on the passage in Genesis 2:16And if anyone is slain wrongfully, they declared that the following six commandments were enjoined upon Adam: we have given his heir authority (1to demand qisas or to forgive) : but let him not to worship idolsexceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (2by the Law) . # Qur'an 17:34 Come not nigh to blaspheme the name of G-d; (3) orphan's property except to establish courts improve it, until he attains the age of justicefull strength; and fulfil (4every) not to kill; engagement, for (5every) not to commit adultery; and engagement will be enquired into (6on the Day of Reckoning) not to rob<ref>Genesus Rabbah 16. # Qur'an 17:935 Give full measure when ye measure, 24:5; Shir HaShirim Rabbah 1:16; compare and weigh with Seder 'Olam Rabbah, ed. Ratner, chapter 5, and notes, Wilna, 1897; Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Melachim, 9a balance that is straight:1</ref>. A seventh commandment was added after the Flood—not to eat flesh that had been cut from a living animal (Genesis 9:4). Thus,is the Talmud frequently speaks of "most fitting and the seven laws of most advantageous in the sons final determination. # Qur'an 17:36 And pursue not that of Noah," which were regarded as obligatory upon all mankindthou hast no knowledge; for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in contradistinction to those that were binding upon Israelites only.<ref>Tosefos, 'Avodah Zarah, 9:4; [[Sanhedrin 56a-b|Sanhedrin 56a]] et seq) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).</ref>
While many clarifications to these laws were proposed 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<ref>[[Sanhedrin 56a-b|Sanhedrin 56b]]</ref> — so that in one place thirty Noachian laws are mentioned,<ref>Hullin 92a; compare Yerushalmi == Qur'Avodah Zarah 2an 17:1</ref>, 22-36 and the prevalent opinion in the Talmud "Ten Commandments" ==It is that there are only seven laws which are binding upon all mankind. In another baraita<ref>Tanna debe Menasseh</ref> the seven Noachian prohibitions are enumerated as applying interesting if these verse correspond to the following: (1) idolatry"Ten Commandments", (2) adultery, (3) murder, (4) robbery, (5) eating only seven of a limb cut from a living animal, (6) the emasculation of animals, (7) the pairing of animals of different species<ref>[[Sanhedrin 56a-b|Sanhedrin 56b]]</ref>.them appear:
==Laws Before Sinai==A possible connection between the Qur'an 17:22-36 and the "Ten Commandments" might be:# Qur'an 17:22, 23 You shall have no other Gods before me (1st commandment) # Qur'an 17:23 Honour your father and your mother (5th commandment)# Qur'an 17:32 You shall not commit adultery (7th commandment)# Qur'an 17:33 You shall not kill (6th commandment)# Qur'an 17:34 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.... manservant.... maidservant.... his ox.... his ass...anything that is your neighbor’s (10th commandment)# Qur'an 17:35 You shall not steal (8th commandment)# Qur'an 17:36 You shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor (9th commandment)
With regard to the other laws which are mentioned in the Book The second, third and fourth commandments (You shall not make unto thee any graven image or likeness of Genesis and which were any thing. You shall not included among take the Noachian laws, as, for instance, circumcision and the prohibition against eating name of the "sinew that shrank," the Rabbis laid down the following principle: "Every law that was enjoined upon the Noachide and was repeated at Sinai is meant to apply both to Israelites and to nonL-rd your G-Israelites; laws that were enjoined upon d in vain. Remember the Noachide and Sabbath day) were left out perhaps as not repeated at Sinai apply being applicable to Israelites only".<ref>[[Sanhedrin 59a]]; R. Jose ben H.anina; comp. BacherIslam, "Agbeing particular to Judaism. PalThe key may be in Qur'an 15:87 “. Amor." i. 430 We have given you seven (sections) of mesaniy and note</ref> By this principle a number of the pre-Sinaitic laws great Qur'an..” Perhaps these seven were excluded derived by Qur'an from the Noachian laws, although it required a great deal of speculative reasoning to make this principle apply to all casesNoahide law instead.<ref>[[Sanhedrin 59b]]</ref>
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 many formalities of procedure essential when the accused is == Qur'an Israelite need not be observed in the case of the Noachide. The latter may be convicted on the testimony of one witness, even on that of relatives, but not on that of a woman. He need have had no warning (''hatra'ah'') from the witnesses; and a single judge may pass sentence on him .<ref>[[Sanhedrin 57a]], [[Sanhedrin 57b]]; [[Maimonides' Law of Noahides#Laws of Kings and their Wars, Chapter 9|Mishneh Torah, Melachim 917:14]]</ref> With regard to idolatry, 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 attributes of G22-d's name—an action which, if committed by an Israelite, would not be regarded as criminal.<ref>[[Sanhedrin 56a-b|Sanhedrin 56b]]; see [[Blasphemy]])</ref>36 and Noahide law ==
==Procedure== 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 A possible connection between the transgression of any of them.<ref>ib.; [[MaimonidesQur' Law of Noahides#Laws of Kings an 17:22-36 and their Wars, Chapter 9|Mishneh Torah, Melachim 9Noahide law might be:14,10"11]]; comp. Nachmanides on Gen. xxxiv. 13, where the opinion is 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.</ref> In the case of murder, if the Noachide slay a child in its mother's womb, or kill a person whose life is despaired of (''terefah'# Qur'), or if he cause the death of 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<ref>17:22 — [[Sanhedrin 57bProhibition of Idolatry]]; [[Maimonides' Law of Noahides#Laws of Kings and their Wars, Chapter 9|Mishneh Torah, Melachim 9:4]]; comp. "Kesef Mishneh," ad loc.</ref>1 Only six cases of what would ordinarily be illicit connection are forbidden to the Noachide: (1) with mother; (2) with father# Qur's wife, even after the father's death; (3) with a married woman, whether married to a Jew or to a non-Jew; (4) with sister by the same mother; (5) pederasty; (6) 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 Israelite.<ref>see 17:23 — [[Maimonides' Law Prohibition of Noahides#Laws of Kings and their Wars, Chapter 9|Mishneh Torah, Melachim 9:5-8Blasphemy]]</ref> The 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 ''perutah'#2# Qur' (the smallest Palestinian coin, for less than which no case can be instituted against an Israelite). The Noachide is 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 olive (the minimum portion for the eating of which an Israelite may be punished.<ref>17:32 — [[Maimonides' Law Prohibition of Noahides#Laws of Kings and their Wars, Chapter 9|Mishneh Torah, Melachim 9:9-13Sexual Immorality]]</ref>#4 ==Special Exceptions== 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 # Qur'an Israelite is obliged to undergo martyrdom rather than transgress (e.g., idolatry, adultery, or murder), he is not liable to punishment <ref>Mak. 9a; Sanh. 74b; 17:33 — [[Maimonides' Law Prohibition of Noahides#Laws of Kings and their Wars, Chapter 10|Mishneh Torah, Melachim 10:1,2Homicide]]; comp. "Lechem Mishneh" and "Kesef Mishneh," ad loc.</ref> 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 #3# Qur'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 <ref>17:34 — [[Sanhedrin 71bProhibition of Theft]]; [[Maimonides#5# Qur' Law of Noahides#Laws of Kings and their Wars, Chapter 10|Mishneh Torah, Melachim 10an 17:4]]</ref>. A Noachide who wishes to observe any of the laws of the Torah is not prevented from doing so. With regard to the prohibition against a Noachide studying the Law or observing the Sabbath, see 35 — [[GentileImperative of Legal System]] in Relation to Jews.#7 He who observed the seven Noachian laws was regarded as a foreign resident<ref># Qur'Ab. Zarah 64b; see an 17:36 — [[Ger Toshav]]</ref>, as one Prohibition of the pious of the Gentiles, and was assured Limb of a portion in the world to come.<ref>Tosef., Sanh. xiii. 1; Sanh. 105a; comp. ib. 91b; [[Maimonides' Law of Noahides#Laws of Kings and their Wars, Chapter 8|Mishneh Torah, Melachim 8:11Living Creature]]</ref> In Talmudic times the non-Jews of Babylon were apparently sunk in the grossest immorality, so that 'Ula, one of the earlierBabylonian amoraim, complains that out of the thirty laws #6??? (see above) which although the Noachide accept they observe only three—they do not write a marriage contract (''ketubah'') for pederasty; they do not sell human flesh in their shops; and they show respect for the Torah.<ref>Hullin 92b</ref> In the Messianic age the Noachide will accept all the laws of last is specifically mentioned by the Torah, although later they will again reject them.<ref>Yer.
