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.
Qur==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''an 39as including the entire Noahide Law:23 makes # ''And [He] commanded'', refers to '''legal system''', and thus it clear is written, For I know him, that there he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment.# ''The L-rd'' — is [a mesani / mesaniy prohibition against] '''blasphemy''', and thus it is written, and Qurhe that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death.# ''G-d''— is [aninjunction against] '''idolatry''', and they are separate: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'''.<ref>Sanhedrin 56. This is according to Rabbi Johanan. Rabbi Isaac reverses the first and third verses.</ref>

:15.87 And We have bestowed upon thee the '''==The Seven Oft-repeated (verses)''' and the Grand Qur'an.Laws==
Which implies that there Laws which were seven binding upon mankind at large even before the revelation at Sinai, and which are still binding upon non-Jews. The 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 giving record of the Qur'anrevelation 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, "Cuzari," iii. 73), introduced others which are not found there. Basing their views on the passage in Gen. ii. It is generally accepted 16, they declared that ''saban minel masani'' the following six commandments were enjoined upon Adam: (1) not to worship idols; (Seven Oft2) not to blaspheme the name of G-repeated versesd; (3) to establish courts of justice; (4) not to kill; (5) not to commit adultery; and ''quranel azim'' (Grand Reading/Qur6) not to rob (Gen. R. xvi. 9, xxiv. 5; Cant. R. i. 16; comp. Seder 'anOlam Rabbah, ed. Ratner, ch. v. and notes, Wilna, 1897; Maimonides, "Yad," Melakim, ix. 1) must be two different things because they are separated with conjunction waw. However many Islamic scholars are at A seventh commandment was added after the Flood—not to eat flesh that had been cut from a loss to defined what living animal (Gen. ix. 4). Thus,the Mesani is. The proposal that they are Talmud frequently speaks of "the seven laws of the sons of Noah has been found acceptable by certain muslims who have studied the issue and not found ," which were regarded as obligatory upon all mankind, in contradistinction to be theologically problematicthose that were binding upon Israelites only (Tosef., 'Ab. Zarah, ix. 4; Sanh. 56a et seq.).
In While many additions were made to these laws by some of the tannaim—e.g., the prohibitions against eating the Qur'an Noah is portrayed as prophet teaching blood of a living animal, against idolatry even before the floodemasculation 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.<ref>[http://wwwul. 92a; comp. Yer.usc'Ab.edu/dept/MSA/quran/071Zarah ii.qmt1), the prevalent opinion in the Talmud is that there are only seven laws which are binding upon all mankind.html Translations 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 Qur'anemasculation of animals, Chapter 71: NOOH]</ref>(7) the pairing of animals of different species (Sanh. 56b).
The Qur'anic word "mesani" is the same word as the Hebrew word "mishna" (repetition), and probably derived from the hebrew.==Laws Before Sinai==
== Qur'an 17:22-36 ==# Qur'an 17:22 Take not with Allah another object With regard to the other laws which are mentioned in the Book of worship; or thou (O man!) wilt sit in disgrace Genesis 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 which were not to them a word of contemptincluded among the Noachian laws, nor repel themas, but address them in terms of honour. # Qur'an 17:32 Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) instance, circumcision and an evilthe prohibition against eating of the "sinew that shrank, opening " the road (to other evils). # Qur'an 17Rabbis laid down the following principle:33 Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone "Every law that was enjoined upon the Noachide and was repeated at Sinai is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (meant to apply both to demand qisas or Israelites and to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking lifenon-Israelites; for he is helped (by laws that were enjoined upon the Law). # Qur'an 17:34 Come Noachide and were not nigh repeated at Sinai apply to the orphan's property except to improve itIsraelites only" (Sanh. 59a; R. Jose ben H.anina; comp. Bacher, until he attains the age of full strength; "Ag. Pal. Amor." i. 430 and fulfil (every) engagement, for (every) engagement will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoningnote). # Qur'an 17:35 Give full measure when ye measure, and weigh with By this principle a balance that is straight: that is number of the most fitting and pre-Sinaitic laws were excluded from 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 hearingNoachian laws, or of seeing or although it required a great deal of speculative reasoning to make this principle apply to all cases (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of ReckoningSanh. 59b).
== Qur'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 an 17:22-36 and 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 ("Ten Commandmentshatra'ah" ==It is interesting if these verse correspond to ) from the witnesses; and a single judge may pass sentence on him (ib. 57a, b; "Ten CommandmentsYad,"l.c. ix. 14). With regard to idolatry, he can be found guilty only seven 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 them appear:G-d's name—an action which, if committed by an Israelite, would not be regarded as criminal (ib. 56b; see [[Blasphemy]]).
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)==Procedure==
The second, third 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 fourth commandments (You shall not make unto thee to warn them against the transgression of any graven image or likeness of any thingthem (ib.; "Yad," l.c. ix. 14, x. 11; comp. Nah.manides on Gen. xxxiv. You shall not take 13, where the opinion is expressed that these courts should judge also cases other than those coming under the name head of the L-rd your G-d in vainsix laws, as, for example, larceny, assault and battery, etc.). Remember In the Sabbath day) were left out perhaps as not being applicable to Islamcase of murder, being particular to Judaism. The key may be if the Noachide slay a child in Qurits mother'an 15:87 “.s womb, or kill a person whose life is despaired of ("t.We have given you seven (sectionserefah") , or if he cause the death of mesaniy 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 this great Qur'must pay the death-penalty, although under the same circumstances anIsraelite would not be executed (ib.57b; "Yad," l.c. ix. 4; comp.” Perhaps these seven were derived by Qur'an from Noahide law instead"Kesef Mishneh," ad loc.).
== QurOnly 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 the offenses are committed by a Noachide or by an 17:22Israelite (see "Yad," 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. 9-36 and Noahide law ==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.). A possible Noachide who slays another Noachide, or worships idols, or blasphemes, or has illicit connection between with the Qur'an 17:22-36 wife of another Noachide, and Noahide law might be:# Qur'then becomes a proselyte, is free from punishment. If, however, he has killed an 17:22 — [[Prohibition Israelite, or has had illicit connection with the wife of Idolatry]] #1# Qur'an 17:23 — [[Prohibition of Blasphemy]] #2# Qur'Israelite, and then becomes a proselyte, he must submit to the punishment that is inflicted upon an 17:32 — [[Prohibition Israelite found guilty of Sexual Immorality]] #such a transgression (Sanh. 71b; "Yad," l.c. x. 4).# Qur'an 17:33 — 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 [[Prohibition of HomicideGentile]] #3in Relation to Jews.# QurHe who observed the seven Noachian laws was regarded as a foreign resident (, 'an 17:34 — Ab. Zarah 64b; see [[Prohibition of TheftGer Toshav]] #5# Qur'an 17:35 — [[Imperative ), 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 Legal System]] #7# QurBabylon were apparently sunk in the grossest immorality, so that 'an 17:36 — [[Prohibition Ula, one of Limb 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 Living Creature]] #6??? marriage contract ("ketubah") for pederasty; they do not sell human flesh in their shops; and they show respect for the Torah (although H.ul. 92b). 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.
