Worship of One God

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَمُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ مِنَ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَلِأُحِلَّ لَكُم بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى حُرِّمَ عَلَيْكُمْوَجِئْتُكُم بِـَٔايَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 50

 إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّى وَرَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُوهُ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ 51 

50.  And (I have come) confirming that which was before me of the Torah, and to make lawful some of that which was forbidden unto you. And I have come unto you with a sign from your Lord. So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.       51.  Lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.

50.  Wa  Musaddiqal—limaa  bayna  yadayya  minat-Tawraati  wa  li-‘uhilla  lakum  ba’-zallazii  hurrima  ‘alaykum  wa  ji’-tu--  kum  bi- ‘Aayatim-mir-Rabbi-kum,   fatta-qUllaaha  wa  ‘atii-‘uun.        51.  ‘InnAllaaha  Rabbii  wa  Rabbukum  fa’-buduuH.  Haazaa  Siraatum-mustaqiim.

Commentary

      

Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) commanded to his nation, the children of Israel, “I confirm the Torah which was revealed upon Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) before me. That was revealed from Allah Almighty and that is a true Scripture. Keeping its ordinary principles and commands firm, I shall make some changes in the instructions by the order of God Almighty, which will be suitable according to the present times. As there was some severity in a few instructions, that will be lifted now. The things, which were made forbidden as punishment due to your wicked deeds, I shall make them lawful for you. You can use them without any hesitation, risk and fear. And I have come towards you with a sign of Prophet-hood and Messenger-hood from your Lord. He has bestowed me many miracles. So keep your duty to Allah Almighty in accord with the guidelines, illustrated by me and follow me”.

It is easily understood here that sobriety, abstinence and piety is hidden in the obedience of the Messenger (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) does never say that, what is not from Allah Almighty. He does never deliver self-fabricated order. Therefore, how it is possible that without obedience of the Messenger (peace be upon him), the willingness and pleasure of Allah Almighty can be acquired.

Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) described that Allah Almighty is my Lord as well as yours’ too. My relation with Him is not as a son and father. I am His servant and He is my God (Worshipped). Therefore, as I act for His devotion, you should also worship Him. Allah Almighty be praised upon His favors. Obeying His (God’s) Commands and following me, (peace be upon him) is the Straight Path.

This verse is also in continuity of previous verses. Miraculous birth of Prophet Jesus Messiah (peace be upon him), his teachings and miracles are being described continuously. Aim of these entire discussions is to produce the perception of God fearing, obedience of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him) and worship of One True God into the human beings. The mankind should learn to bow only before Allah Almighty, remaining apart from the adoration of other human beings. This is the Straight Path.
