Commentary
It is
the best way of requesting for forgiveness of a criminal before Him, Who is The
Mighty and The Wise. When the crime of the criminal is proved and the Ruler is
such a Person, Whose decision can neither be put off and nor can it be
appealed, then the person, who is going to recommend the culprit, can say only
these words, which have been used here by Jesus (peace be upon Him).
Whatever
has been described by the Messenger Jesus (peace be upon Him) till now, is such
a clear description, after which, it is incumbent to fix the Christians that
they are proved blameworthy. There is no doubt in this matter that Jesus and
His Mother, Mary (peace be upon Them) were made worshipped in the world.
There
may be only two reasons of determining Them (Jesus and Mary - peace be upon
Them) worshipped:
1.
Either that, Jesus
(peace be upon Him), who was Messenger of Allah Almighty, said
Himself to the people: Worship Me and My Mother, Mary also along with the
Worship of God.
2.
Or that, the Christians
selected this path at their own without command of Jesus (peace be upon Him).
It has been proven from His (peace be upon Him) answer that He is Innocent.
Likewise,
it appears also from this discussion that actually, this act (the belief in a
plurality of God) has been invented and committed by the Christians themselves,
so they are accused.
The
Messenger Christ (peace be upon Him) will request Allah Almighty with the
same reflection: O Lord! If Thou punish them, there is none, who may
challenge Thou, because Thou art their fully Master and they are Thy friendless
and unable slaves. They were entrapped by Satan and the biggest crime has been
committed by them. If Thou wish to forgive them, Thou art Able to do so because
they are Thy slaves. None can prevent Thou in this condition because Thou art
the Most Powerful. Thou Knowest also very well that there is no inconvenience,
if Thou forgive them because Thou art the Mighty and hath reached the depth of
every matter, and Knower of the result of every act.
It is the best method to
request a Mighty, a Knower and a Seer Ruler for His mercy and kindness
that as much as it may be possible, one should admit His unlimited power and
strength, and own helplessness.
