The sura's main topics are Isa's and Moses' missions, as well as distortion of their messages by Jews and Christians. The sura appreciates yet humility and honesty of Christian monks.

Animals

It begins by specifying which animals are forbidden and which are permissible to consume.

Quran-usc|5|3

This verse has a Parenthetical Sentence "...This day have those who disbelieve despaired of your religion, so fear them not, and fear Me. This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion.." - an important sentence that helps to understand the true connotation of Quran-usc|5|67. Refer to the Tafsir of verse 5:3 by Allameh Tatabataba'i in his tafsir al-Mizan [http://www.almizan.org/Tafseer/Volume9/9Ma'ida1.asp] for explanation.

Quran-usc|5|5

Specifies that food of Christians and Jews is lawful for Muslims to eat. The link to Abdullah Yusuf Ali's translation further clarifies this verse. The verse is believed to have been revealed after the Battle of Khaybar Fact|date=February 2007.

Quran-usc|5|32

This verse explicitly forbids murder: [5.32] For this reason did We prescribe to the children of Israel that whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men; and whoever keeps it alive, it is as though he kept alive all men; and certainly Our apostles came to them with clear arguments, but even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land.

Qiyamah

Verse 36 is a reference to the day of judgement, one of three principle beliefs of Islam, and a central concept in Islamic eschatology:

Quran-usc|5|54

Vers 54 is one of three verses in the Qur'an that includes the word Irtiddah, relevant to apostasy [http://www.free-minds.org/books/kassim8.htm] . It is also interesting in relation to who the "beloved" are, some hadith view it as being Abu Musa al-Ashari [ [http://www.sunnah.org/aqida/alashaira7.htm Ahadith In Praise Of The Ash`Aris ] ] , while other say its Salman the Persian, and even some say its Abu BakrFact|date=February 2007.

Quran-usc|5|55

Verse 55 is well known and important to Shi'a Muslims, and is interpreted by them to suggest that Ali is the Wali of the Muslims.

The Shi'ah View

In this verse, God used the singular form "waliyyukum" implying the "wilayah" (Guardianship of the believers) is a single project. In other words, the "wilayah" of the Messenger and that of the Ali springs from the root of God's wilayah. The word "wali" in the context of this verse cannot mean "friend" because there is not a single verse in the Qur'an where God says that anyone of His Messengers is a friend or helper of their followers. Further if the verse implied "wilayah" in the sense of friend or helper, then the singular form "waliyyukum" would not have been used but the plural form "awliya'ukum" would be appropriate because the "friendship" of God is unique.

Tahir al-Qadiri writes regarding this verse [The Ghadir Declaration, By Dr. Tahir al-Qadiri, Page 48 & 49 [http://www.answering-ansar.org/fiqh/kalima_adhan/the_ghadir_p48-49.jpg] [http://www.azadarnews.com/Islamic-Articles/81.html] ] :
