The oral law is passed down from generation to generation through the elders and the oral law is definite and obligatory for the Jews. The Jewish scholars believe that oral law provides the complete interpretation of Jewish shariaa. This oral law was handed over to Yusha bin Noon by Moses (AS), its initial script is called Mishnah which was published in 70 CE. The description of Mishnah is called Gemara which was published in 200 CE. The combination of script (Mishnah) and its description (Gemara) is called Talmud which was published in 400 to 500 CE. Talmud is considered to be the most authoritative text for the Jews. This article will give a brief overview of all volumes of Mishnah.
