Surah Al Maidah 5:3 Exposition
Forbidden on you is al maitatu / the destitute thoughts and addamu / bloody (cruel) thoughts and lahmu al khinziri / the closely knitted self magnifying thoughts and what things come other than Allah with it, and al mun'khaniqatu / the thoughts which suffocates, and al mawqudhatu / that which hurts the brain and al mutaraddiyatu / destructive thoughts, and al natihatu / the thoughts which leads to argument, and what is consumed by the congregated intelligence, except what you understand with your own mind, and what is clearly distinguishable / marked, and that you seek to relinquish. The moment despair is for those who are ignorant from your submission and I completed on you My Composure and I accepted / approved for you Al Islam / the Inner Peace as deenan / judgement but whoever is hurt in the due process of considerate behaviour, altering wrongfully towards unlawfulness, then indeed Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Translation (with modifications ) credit to Ahleaqal.
Islam is an arabic word that can be translated to peace in english language. There are inconsiderate behavioural patterns surrounding the mind that affect our peaceful state of mind and refract the reality. These inconsiderate behaviours are forbidden by Allah on us, as decreed in surah Al Maidah 5:3. The nature of human development generally is influenced and self modulated into a habitual behavioural patterns. Allah decreed that He forbids humans (who He has bestowed His favour with fuad / mind) to corrupt their minds with the mentioned inconsiderate behavioural thought patterns.
Then the theme of the said verse in essence is to bring back the purity of the mind by eradicating the inconsiderate habitual behavioural patterns not imposed or wished for, as self disciplined effort but as a natural process of personal improvement. So if we understand the true message of the Quran, implement them in our daily activities of actions, sayings, ideas and thoughts to our own selves and to the society at large, then that will evolve us to be a better person and transform ourselves towards Islam / inner peace that is approved and accepted by Allah.
