Question from Jesus and his mother

Surah MAAA-‘IDAH (The Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)

‘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.)

116. وَإِذْ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ يَٰعِيسَى ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ ءَأَنتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ ٱتَّخِذُونِى وَأُمِّىَ إِلَٰهَيْنِ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ سُبْحَٰنَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِىٓ أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِى بِحَقٍّ ۚ إِن كُنتُ قُلْتُهُۥ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُۥ ۚ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِى نَفْسِى وَلَآ أَعْلَمُ مَا فِى نَفْسِكَ ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّٰمُ ٱلْغُيُوبِ
 

116a.  And when Allah will say: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst Thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? He saith: Glory be to Thee it did not befit me to utter that to which I had no right.

116a.  Wa  ‘iz  qaalAllaahu  yaa-‘Iisanbna-  Maryama  ‘a-‘anta  qulta  linnaasit-takhi-zuunii  wa  ‘ummi-ya  ‘ilaa-hayni  min-  duNIllaah.  Qaala  Sub-haanaKa  maa  yakuunu  liii  ‘an  ‘aquula  maa  laysa  lii  bi-haqq.

Commentary

It is a promise of wideness in the sustenance for the believers (the Christians) of Jesus (peace be upon Him). But those persons will be punished very severely, who spend in disobedience of Allah Almighty. This promise of wideness in the income was fulfilled, but the Christians did not spend their wealth in accordance with the commands of Allah Almighty. Moreover, they spent it for the purpose of immoral luxury, gambols and games.

For making them acquainted with an event of the Day of Resurrection, it has been described in this section that an inquiry will be repeated from the Messenger Jesus (peace be upon Him) due to His nation. The aim is that they should give up rebellion behavior and wickedness; otherwise nobody will be able to save them from the wrath of Allah Almighty.

It is being commanded: Listen by opening your ears, Allah Almighty will ask Jesus (peace be upon Him), “Did you say to your nation that they should take you and your mother for two gods beside Allah and worship both of you? Jesus (peace be upon Him) will say humbly: O Good and Pure from all defects Allah! It did not befit me to utter that to which I had no right. How can it be so from me whether I am Your Servant and Messenger, which cannot be said by any common human being?

This entire Section of Holy Qur’aan is as much filled up of Greatness and Dignity of Allah Almighty; and mankind’s humility and submissiveness that by reciting it, the hairs stand on end. Here, one should also understand it that the Muslims too believe in Jesus (peace be upon him). Therefore, which lesson the Christians should learn from this description, the same, but more than them, the Muslims should learn.
