Do you agree that QS Al-Ma'idah [5:114] (Jesus-Food-Festival) doesn’t refer to the ‘Last Supper’?

In my opinion, it refers to miracle of Jesus pbuh feeding the multitude of 5000 men (excluding women and children) with five loaves and two fishes.

Facts:

1. They’re all in hunger condition. (hoping for foods)

“having been two days without bread”....“whereupon they ate raw herbs therefore they were not able to depart like the others”

2. It happened right after Jesus and his disciples kept the forty days fasting.

“There Jesus [and] his disciples kept the forty days”

3. Maa’idah [repast-food]

4. ‘From the heaven’ = Gift/Food (multiplication) from Allah via the miracle by Jesus

5. ‘Ied’(original Arabic text) = festival = holy day

6. Last Supper is the final meal eating Passover Lamb given by Nicodemus, Jesus shared with his disciples, no indication Jesus ask any food directly from God

Conclusions:

1. ‘AAeedan =’Eid—‘As a sign from You (God)’ comes right after Fasting (Formerly in Israel 30days+10days=40days Fasting in totally), in Islamic tradition fasting 30days ==> Ied => Fasting 6 days Sunnah

2. Jubilee (Good news for the poors - Jewish tradition, actually it is not recognized in Islamic tradition) but with Muhammad (by the Will of Allah) would have ordered the jubilee in every year, that previously in Jewish time comes every hundred years => this refer to yearly ‘Iedul Fitri’

References:

QS Al-Ma'idah [5:114]

Qala AAeesa ibnu maryama allahumma rabbana anzil AAalayna maidatan mina alssamai takoonu lana AAeedan liawwalina waakhirina waayatan minka waorzuqna waanta khayru alrraziqeena

Said Jesus, the son of Mary, "O Allah, our Lord, send down to us a maa’idah [repast- food] from the heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of providers."

Chapter 92

At this time, by the word of the holy angel, we, [had] gone to Mount Sinai with Jesus. There Jesus [and] his disciples kept the forty days.

.......

.......

When the greater part of the crowd had departed, there remained about five thousand men, without women and children who being wearied by the journey, having been two days without bread, for that through longing to see Jesus they had forgotten to bring any, whereupon they ate raw herbs therefore they were not able to depart like the others. Then Jesus, when he perceived this, had pity on them, and said to Philip: "Where shall we find bread for them that they perish not of hunger?" Philip answered: "Lord, two hundred pieces of gold could not buy so much bread that each one should taste a little." Then said Andrew: "There is here a child which has five loaves and two fishes, but what will it be among so many?"

Jesus answered: "Make the multitude sit down" And they sat down upon the grass by fifties and by forties. Thereupon said Jesus: "In the name of God!" And he took the bread, and prayed to God and then brake the bread, which he gave to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the multitude; and so did they with the fishes. Every one ate and every one was satisfied. Then Jesus said: "Gather up that which is over." So the disciples gathered those fragments, and filled twelve baskets.

Thereupon every one put his hand to his eyes, saying: "Am I awake, or do I dream?" And they remained, every one, for the space of an hour. as it were beside themselves by reason of the great miracle. Afterwards Jesus, when he had given thanks to God, dismissed them, but there were seventy-two men that willed not to leave him; wherefore Jesus, perceiving their faith, chose them for disciples.

Chapter 82

.....

The woman said: "O Lord, perhaps you are the Messiah." Jesus answered: "I am indeed sent to the House of Israel as a prophet of salvation; but after me shall come the Messiah, sent of God to all the world; for whom God has made the world.

And then through all the world will God be worshipped, and mercy received, insomuch that the year of jubilee, which now comes every hundred years, shall by the Messiah be reduced to every year in every place." Then the woman left her waterpot and ran to the city to announce all that she had heard from Jesus.

Chapter 83

......

After the prayer of midnight; the disciples came near to Jesus, and he said to them: "This night shall be in the time of the Messiah, Messenger of God, the jubilee every year that now comes every hundred years. Therefore I will not that we sleep, but let us make prayer, bowing our head a hundred times, doing reverence to our God, mighty and merciful..

Notes:

Such miracle (feeding the multitude) ever happened also via Muhammad (by the Will of Allah) that could be find in many other references.
