The 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 word Mesani is regarded translated as one of meaning "the righteous among the gentilesrepetition"Two verses in Qur'an refer to Al mesani / Al mesaniy: 15:87and 39. [[Maimonides]] states that this refers to those who have acquired knowledge of G-d and act in accordance with the Noahide laws23.
==Introduction==Qur'an 39:23 makes it clear that there is a mesani / mesaniy and Qur'an, and they are separate:
The seven laws 39.23 Allah has revealed (commonly rendered as Sheva Mitzvot Shel Bene Noachfrom time to time) are:# ''Avodah zarah'' - Do not worship false gods.# ''Shefichat damim'' - Do not [[murder]].# ''Gezel'' - Do not steal the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (or kidnapyet).# ''Gilui arayot'' - Do not be sexually immoral repeating (forbidden sexual acts are traditionally interpreted to include [[incest]], bestiality, male [[homosexuality|homosexual]] sex acts, i.e. [[sodomy]], and [[adultery]].its teaching in various aspects)# ''Birkat Hashem'' - Do not "bless God" [[euphemism|euphemistically]] referring to [[blasphemy]].# ''Ever min ha-chai'' - Do not eat any flesh that was torn from : the body skins of a living animal (given those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to Noah and traditionally interpreted as a prohibition the celebration of cruelty towards animals)# Allah''Dinim'' - Set up a system s praises. Such is the guidance of honestAllah: He guides therewith whom He pleases, effective courtsbut such as Allah leaves to stray, police and lawscan have none to guide.
The main text makes it clear that something, a book or a text called mesaniy / mesani were given to Mohamed (pbuh).
==The 15.87 And We have bestowed upon thee the Seven Laws==Oft-repeated (verses) and the Grand Qur'an.
Laws which Which implies that there were binding upon mankind at large even seven laws before the revelation at Sinai, and which are still binding upon non-Jews. The term Noachian indicates the universality giving of these ordinances, since the whole human race was supposed to be descended from the three sons of Noah, who alone survived the FloodQur'an. Although only those laws which are found in the earlier chapters of the Pentateuch, before the record of the revelation at Sinai, should, it 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, It is generally accepted that "Cuzari,saban minel masani" iii. 73), introduced others which are not found there. Basing their views on the passage in Gen. ii. 16, they declared that the following six commandments were enjoined upon Adam: (1) not to worship idols; (2) not to blaspheme the name of GSeven Oft-d; (3) to establish courts of justice; (4repeated verses) not to kill; (5) not to commit adultery; and "quranel azim" (6) not to rob (Gen. R. xvi. 9, xxiv. 5; Cant. R. i. 16; comp. Seder Grand Reading/Qur'Olam Rabbah, ed. Ratner, ch. v. and notes, Wilna, 1897; Maimonides, "Yad," Melakim, ix. 1an)must be two different things because they are separated with conjuction waw. A seventh commandment was added after However many Islamic scholars are at a loss to defined what the Flood—not to eat flesh Mesani is. The proposal that had been cut from a living animal (Gen. ix. 4). Thus,the Talmud frequently speaks of "they are the seven laws of the sons of Noah," which were regarded as obligatory upon all mankind, in contradistinction to has been found acceptable by those that were binding upon Israelites only (Tosef., 'Ab. Zarah, ix. 4; Sanh. 56a et seq.)muslims who have thought about it.
While many additions were made to these laws by some of In the tannaim—e.g., the prohibitions against eating the blood of a living animal, Qur'an Noah is portrayed as prophet teaching against idolatry even before the emasculation of animals, against sorcery, against pairing animals of different species, and against grafting trees of different kinds (ibflood. 56b)—so that in one place thirty Noachian laws are mentioned (H.ulhttp://www. 92a; compusc. Yer. 'Ab. Zarah ii. 1), the prevalent opinion in the Talmud is that there are only seven laws which are binding upon all mankind. In another baraita (Tanna debe Menasseh) the seven Noachian prohibitions are enumerated as applying to the following: (1) idolatry, (2) adultery, (3) murder, (4) robbery, (5) eating of a limb cut from a living animal, (6) the emasculation of animals, (7) the pairing of animals of different species (Sanhedu/dept/MSA/quran/071. 56b)qmt.html
==Laws Before Sinai==It is interesting that only seven of the "Ten Commandments" appear in the Qur'an 17:22-36:
With regard to 1. Qur'an 17:22, 23 has the first Commandment (You shall have no other laws which are mentioned in Gods before me).2. Qur'an 17:23 has the Book of Genesis fifth Commanment (Honour your father and which were your mother).3. Qur'an 17:33 has the sixth Commandment (You shall not kill).4. Qur'an 17:32 has the seventh Commandment (You shall not included among commit adultery).5. Qur'an 17:35 has the Noachian laws, as, for instance, circumcision and eight Commandment (You shall not steal).6. Qur'an 17:36 has the prohibition ninth Commandment (You shall not bear false witness against eating of thy neighbour).7. Qur'an 17:34 has the "sinew that shranktenth Commandment (You shall not covet your neighbour’s house," 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 non-Israelites; laws that were enjoined upon the Noachide and were you shall not repeated at Sinai apply to Israelites only" (Sanhcovet your neighbour’s wife.... manservant.... maidservant.. 59a; R. Jose ben H.anina; comphis ox. Bacher, "Ag. Pal. Amor." ihis ass. 430 and note). By 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. 59banything that is your neighbour’s).
In the elaboration of these seven Noachian lawsThe second, third 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 fourth commandments (You shall not make unto thee any graven image or likeness of any of thing. You shall not take the seven laws is decapitation, the least painful name of the four modes of execution of criminals (see [[Capital Punishment]])L-rd your G-d in vain. The many formalities of procedure essential when Remember the accused is an Israelite need Sabbath day) were left out perhaps as not be observed in the case of the Noachidebeing applicable to Islam, being particular to Judaism. The latter key may be convicted on the testimony of one witness, even on that of relatives, but not on that of a womanin Qur'an 15:87 “.. He need We have had no warning given you seven ("hatra'ah"sections) from the witnesses; of mesaniy and a single judge may pass sentence on him (ibthis great Qur'an. 57a, b; "Yad," l.c. ix. 14). 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 G-d” Perhaps these seven were derived by Qu's name—an action which, if committed by an Israelite, would not be regarded as criminal (ib. 56b; see [[Blasphemy]])ran from Noahide law instead.
==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 the transgression of any of them (ib.; "Yad," l.c. ix. 14, x. 11; comp. Nah.manides 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.). In the case of murder, if the Noachide slay a child in its motherword Qur's womb, or kill a person whose life is despaired of (anic word "t.erefahmesani"), 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 (ib. 57b; "Yad," l.c. ix. 4; comp. "Kesef Mishneh," ad loc.).Only six cases of what would ordinarily be illicit connection are forbidden to the Noachide: (1) with mother; (2) with father'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 word as the offenses are committed by a Noachide or by an Israelite (see Hebrew word "Yad,mishna" l.c. ix. 5-8). 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 perut.ah (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; "Yad," l.c. ix. 9-13).==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 an 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 "Kesef Mishneh," ad loc.repetition). 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 probably derived 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 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 [[Gentile]] in Relation to Jews.He who observed the seven Noachian laws was regarded as a foreign resident (, 'Ab. Zarah 64b; see [[Ger Toshav]]), as one of the pious of the Gentiles, and was assured of a portion in the world to come (Tosef., Sanh. xiii. 1; Sanh. 105a; comp. ib. 91b; "Yad," l.c. viii. 11). 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 (see above) which 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 (H.ul. 92b).In the Messianic age the Noachide will accept all the laws of the Torah, although later they will again reject them (Yer. 'Ab. Zarah ii. 1).==Bibliography==* Hamburger, R. B. T. ii., s.v.
