Al-Ma'idah (Arabic: ٱلْمَائدَة, romanized: al-Māʾidah; lit. 'The Table [Spread with Food]') is the fifth chapter of the Quran, containing 120 verses.

Al-Mā'idah means "Meal" or "Banquet" . This name is taken from verses 112 to 115, which tell of the meal sent down from the sky by Allah at the request of Prophet 'Isa (Jesus) and his disciples as a sign of the truth of his message.

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation, it is a Medinan chapter, which means it is believed to have been revealed in Medina rather than Mecca.

The chapter's topics include animals which are forbidden, and Jesus and Moses's missions. Verse 90 prohibits "the intoxicant" (alcohol). Verse 8 contains the passage: "Do not let the hatred of a people lead you to injustice". Al-Tabligh Verse 67 is relevant to the Farewell Pilgrimage and Ghadir Khumm.^{[Quran 5:67]}
