[Maidah 5:42] The excessively eager listeners of falsehood, extreme devourers of the forbidden; so if they come humbly to you (Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him), judge between them or shun them; and if you turn away from them they cannot harm you at all; and if you do judge between them, judge with fairness; indeed Allah loves the equitable. [Maidah 5:43] And why should they wish to be judged by you, when they have the Taurat with them, in which exist the commands of Allah and yet they turn away from it? And they will not accept faith. Section 7 [Maidah 5:44] Undoubtedly We sent down the Taurat, in which is guidance and light; the Jews were commanded according to it by Our obedient Prophets, and the rabbis and the religious jurists for they were commanded to protect Allah’s Book, and were witnesses to it; so do not fear men, and fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for an abject price; and whoever does not judge according to what is sent down by Allah - it is they who are disbelievers. [Maidah 5:45] And in the Taurat, We made it obligatory
upon them that, “A life (is the retribution) for a life, and an
eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth
for a tooth, and for wounds is a retribution”; then whoever willingly agrees
to retribution, it shall redeem him of his sin; and whoever does not judge
according to what is sent down by Allah - it is they who are the unjust.
