Jesus in Qur’an
Samy Mahdy
Introduction:
The history of Jesus in Qur’an described
in detail his life since created till his death and revealed the mystery about
crucify him. In this book there is the collection of all what is mentioned
about Marry and her son from the Islamic view in the holy Qur’an. Prayers to
Allah to accept us among his believers Amen.
Chapter One
Marry
Marry
And Mary, the daughter
of Imran, who guarded her womb, and so We breathed into her of Our Spirit; and
she believed in the truth of her Lord’s Words and His Books, and was one of the
devout. 66:12
The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to you what is in
my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; you are the Hearer and Knower.” And when
she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was
well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and
I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to your
protection, from Satan the outcast.” Her Lord accepted her with a gracious
reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the
care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he
found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She
said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.”
03:35…37
The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified
you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow
down, and kneel with those who kneel.” These are accounts from the Unseen,
which we reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to
which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they
quarreled. The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from
Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world
and the next, and one of the nearest. He will speak to the people from the
crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” She said, “My Lord,
how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so.
God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’
and it is.” And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and
the Gospel. A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a
sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I
breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and
the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning
what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if
you are believers.” “And verifying what
lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was
forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God,
and obey me.” “God is my Lord and your
Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 03:42….51
And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her
people to an eastern location. She screened herself away from them, and we sent
to her our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. She said, “I
take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” He said,
“I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” She
said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never
unchaste?” He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make
him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 19:16…22
Chapter Two
Jesus Birth
The Birth of Jesus
The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She
said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” Whereupon
he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath
you. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe
dates by you.” “So eat, and drink, and
be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most
Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ Then she came to her
people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. O
sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a
whore.” So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the
crib?” He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and
made me a prophet. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined
on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. And kind to my mother, and He did
not make me a disobedient rebel. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and
the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” That is Jesus son of
Mary—the Word of truth about which they doubt. It is not for God to have a
child—glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it
becomes. “God is my Lord and your Lord,
so worship Him. That is a straight path.” But the various factions differed
among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous
Day. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to us. But the
wrongdoers today are completely lost. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when
the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. It
is we who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to us they will be
returned. 19:23…..40
Son of Marry
They disbelieve those who say, “God is the Christ, the son of
Mary.” Say, “Who can prevent Allah, if He willed, from annihilating the Christ
son of Mary, and his mother, and everyone on earth?” To God belongs the
sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. He creates
whatever He wills, and God has power over everything. The Jews and the
Christians say, “We are the children of God, and His beloved.” Say, “Why then
does He punish you for your sins?” In fact, you are humans from among those He
created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. To God
belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what lies between them,
and to Him is the return.
05:17-18
And we made Mary’s son and his mother a sign, and we
sheltered them on high ground with security and flowing springs.23:50
Recall that we
received a pledge from the prophets, and from you, and from Noah, and Abraham,
and Moses, and Jesus son of Mary. We received from them a solemn pledge. 33:07
And when the son of Mary was cited as an example, your people
opposed. They said, “Are our gods better, or he?” They cited him only for
argument. In fact, they are a quarrelsome people. He was just a servant whom we
blessed, and we made him an example for the Children of Israel. 43:57…59
Then we sent in their wake our messengers, and followed up with
Jesus son of Mary, and we gave him the Gospel, and instilled in the hearts of
those who followed him compassion and mercy. But as for the monasticism which
they invented—we did not ordain it for them—only to seek God’s approval. But
they did not observe it with its due observance. So we gave those of them who
believed their reward, but many of them are sinful.57:27
And when Jesus son of Mary said, “O Children of Israel, I am
God’s Messenger to you, confirming what preceded me of the Torah, and
announcing good news of a messenger who will come after me, whose name is
Ahmad.” But when he showed them the miracles, they said, “This is obvious
sorcery.”61:06
O you who believe! Be supporters of God, as Jesus son of Mary
said to the disciples, “Who are my supporters towards God?” The disciples said,
“We are God's supporters.” So a group of the Children of Israel believed, while
another group disbelieved. We supported those who believed against their foe,
so they became dominant.61:14
A messenger to the
Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for
you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a
bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the
dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you
store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 03:49
They disbelieve those
who say, “God is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself said, “O
Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates
others with God, God has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire.
The wrongdoers have no saviors.” 05:72
Chapter Three
Jesus
Jesus
When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my
allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed
in God, and bear witness that we submit.”
“Our Lord, we have believed in what you have revealed, and we have
followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” They planned, and God
planned; but God is the Best of planners. God said, “O Jesus, I am expiring
your life, and raising you to me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And
I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the
Day of Resurrection. Then to me is your return; then I will judge between you
regarding what you were disputing. As for those who disbelieve, I will punish
them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have
no helpers. And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them
their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” This is what we recite to
you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight
is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. The
truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. And if anyone
disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say,
“Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your
women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the
liars.” This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the
Mighty, the Wise. But if they turn away—God knows the corrupt. Say, “O People
of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but
God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others
as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have
submitted.” O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the
Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? Here
you are—you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you
do not know? God knows, and you do not know. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a
Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists.
The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this
prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. A party
of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead
themselves astray, and they do not realize it. O People of the Book! Why do you
reject the revelations of God, even as you witness? O People of the Book! Why
do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth? Some
of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers
at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may
return.” And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance
is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they
argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it
to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing. He specifies His mercy for
whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace. Among the People of the
Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back
to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he
will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they
say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about
God, and they know it. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains
piety—God loves the pious. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their
vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not
speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He
purify them. They will have a painful punishment. And among them are those who
twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture,
when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is
not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly. No person to
whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophet hood would ever say
to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the
Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.” Nor
would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he
command you to infidelity after you have submitted? God received the covenant
of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should
a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and
support him.” He said, “Do you affirm my covenant and take it upon yourselves?”
They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among
the witnesses.” Whoever turns away after that—these are the deceitful. Do they
desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in
the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be
returned? Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what
was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs;
and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We
make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.” Whoever seeks
other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the
Hereafter he will be among the losers. How will God guide a people who
disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is
true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust
people. Those—their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of
the angels, and of all mankind. Remaining in it eternally, without their
punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. Except those who
repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful. As for those
who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their
repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. As for those who
disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be
accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a
painful torment, and will have no saviors. You will not attain virtuous conduct
until you give of what you cherish. Whatever you give away, God is aware of it.
All food was permissible to the Children of Israel, except what Israel forbade
for himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, “Bring the Torah, and read it,
if you are truthful.” Whoever forges lies about God after that—these are the
unjust. Say, “God has spoken the truth, so follow the religion of Abraham the
Monotheist; he was not a Pagan.” The first house established for mankind is the
one at Bekka; blessed, and guidance for all people. In it are evident signs;
the Station of Abraham. Whoever enters it attains security. Pilgrimage to the
House is a duty to God for all who can make the journey. But as for those who
refuse—God is Independent of the worlds. Say, “O People of the Scripture, why
do you reject the Revelations of God, when God witnesses what you do?” Say, “O
People of the Scripture, why do you hinder from God’s path those who believe,
seeking to distort it, even though you are witnesses? God is not unaware of
what you do.” O you who believe! If you obey a party of those who were given
the Scripture, they will turn you, after your belief, into disbelievers. And
how could you disbelieve, when God’s revelations are being recited to you, and
among you is His Messenger? Whoever cleaves to God has been guided to a
straight path. O you who believe! Revere God with due reverence, and do not die
except as Muslims. And hold fast to the rope of God, altogether, and do not
become divided. And remember God’s blessings upon you; how you were enemies,
and He reconciled your hearts, and by His grace you became brethren. And you
were on the brink of a pit of fire, and He saved you from it. God thus
clarifies His revelations for you, so that you may be guided. 03: 52…..103
And for their faithlessness, and their saying against Mary a
monstrous slander. And for their saying, “We have killed the Messiah, Jesus,
the son of Mary, the Messenger of God.” In fact, they did not kill him, nor did
they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they did. Indeed, those who
differ about him are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, except
the following of assumptions. Certainly, they did not kill him. Rather, God
raised him up to Himself. God is Mighty and Wise. There is none from the People
of the Scripture but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of
Resurrection he will be a witness against them.
04:156….159
O people! The Messenger has come to you with the truth from your
Lord, so believe—that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to God belongs
everything in the heavens and the earth. God is omniscient and Wise. O People
of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about God
except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of God,
and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God
and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” Refrain—it is better for you. God
is only one God. Glory be to Him—that He should have a son. To Him belongs
everything in the heavens and the earth, and God is a sufficient Protector. The
Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of God, nor do the favored angels.
Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant—He will round them up to
Himself altogether. But as for those who believe and do good works, He will pay
them their wages in full, and will increase His grace for them. But as for
those who disdain and are too proud, He will punish them with an agonizing
punishment. And they will find for themselves, apart from God, no lord and no
savior. O people! A proof has come to you from your Lord, and we sent down to
you a clear light. 04:170…174
They disbelieve those who say, “God is the Christ, the son of
Mary.” Say, “Who can prevent God, if He willed, from annihilating the Christ
son of Mary, and his mother, and everyone on earth?” To God belongs the
sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. He creates
whatever He wills, and God has power over everything. The Jews and the
Christians say, “We are the children of God, and His beloved.” Say, “Why then
does He punish you for your sins?” In fact, you are humans from among those He
created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. To God
belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what lies between them,
and to Him is the return. O People of the Book! Our Messenger has come to you,
making things clear to you—after a cessation of messengers—so that you cannot
say, “No preacher has come to us, and no warner.” In fact, a preacher has come
to you, and a warner; and God is Capable of everything. 05:17…19
We have revealed the Torah, wherein is guidance and light. The
submissive prophets ruled the Jews according to it, so did the rabbis and the
scholars, as they were required to protect God’s Book, and were witnesses to
it. So do not fear people, but fear me. And do not sell my revelations for a
cheap price. Those who do not rule according to what God revealed are the
unbelievers. And we wrote for them in it: a life for a life, an eye for an eye,
a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and an equal wound
for a wound; but whoever forgoes it in charity, it will serve as atonement for
him. Those who do not rule according to what God revealed are the evildoers. In
their footsteps, we sent Jesus son of Mary, fulfilling the Torah that preceded
him; and we gave him the Gospel, wherein is guidance and light, and confirming
the Torah that preceded him, and guidance and counsel for the righteous. So let
the people of the Gospel rule according to what God revealed in it. Those who
do not rule according to what God revealed are the sinners. 05:44….47
Say, “O People of the Scripture!
You have no basis until you uphold the Torah, and the Gospel, and what is
revealed to you from your Lord.” But what is revealed to you from your Lord
will increase many of them in rebellion and disbelief, so do not be sorry for the
disbelieving people. Those who believe, and the Jews, and the Sabians, and the
Christians—whoever believes in God and the Last Day, and does what is
right—they have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve. We made a covenant with
the Children of Israel, and we sent to them messengers. Whenever a messenger
came to them with what their souls did not desire, some of them they accused of
lying, and others they put to death. They assumed there would be no punishment,
so they turned blind and deaf. Then God redeemed them, but then again many of
them turned blind and deaf. But God is seeing of what they do. They disbelieve
those who say, “God is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself
said, “O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever
associates others with God, God has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is
the Fire. The wrongdoers have no saviors.” They disbelieve those who say, “God
is the third of three.” But there is no deity except the One God. If they do
not refrain from what they say, a painful torment will befall those among them
who disbelieve. Will they not repent to God and ask His forgiveness? God is
Forgiving and Merciful. The Messiah son of Mary was only a messenger, before
whom other Messengers had passed away, and his mother was a woman of truth.
They both used to eat food. Note how we make clear the revelations to them;
then note how deluded they are. Say, “Do you worship, besides God, what has no
power to harm or benefit you?” But God: He is the Hearer, the Knower. Say, “O
People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion beyond the truth;
and do not follow the opinions of people who went astray before, and misled
many, and themselves strayed off the balanced way.” Cursed were those who
disbelieved from among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and Jesus
son of Mary. That is because they rebelled and used to transgress. They used
not to prevent one another from the wrongs they used to commit. Evil is what
they used to do. You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve.
Terrible is what their souls prompts them to do. The wrath of God fell upon
them, and in the torment they will remain. Had they believed in God and the
Prophet, and in what was revealed to him, they would not have befriended them.
But many of them are immoral. You will find that the people most hostile
towards the believers are the Jews and the polytheists. And you will find that
the nearest in affection towards the believers are those who say, “We are
Christians.” That is because among them are priests and monks, and they are not
arrogant. And when they hear what was revealed to the Messenger, you see their
eyes overflowing with tears, as they recognize the truth in it. They say, “Our
Lord, we have believed, so count us among the witnesses.” “And why should we not believe in God, and in
the truth that has come to us, and hope that our Lord will include us among the
righteous people?” God will reward them for what they say—Gardens beneath which
rivers flow, where they will stay forever. Such is the reward of the righteous.
But as for those who disbelieve and deny our signs—these are the inmates of the
Fire. O you who believe! Do not prohibit the good things God has permitted for
you, and do not commit aggression. God does not love the aggressors. And eat of
the lawful and good things God has provided for you; and be conscious of God,
in whom you are believers. 05:68….88
Chapter Four
The Table
The Table
When
God will say, “O Jesus son of Mary, recall my favor upon you and upon your
mother, how I supported you with the Holy Spirit. You spoke to the people from
the crib, and in maturity. How I taught you the Scripture and wisdom, and the
Torah and the Gospel. And recall that you molded from clay the shape of a bird,
by my leave, and then you breathed into it, and it became a bird, by my leave.
And you healed the blind and the leprous, by my leave; and you revived the
dead, by my leave. And recall that I restrained the Children of Israel from you
when you brought them the clear miracles. But those who disbelieved among them
said, `This is nothing but obvious sorcery. ‘And when I inspired the disciples:
`Believe in me and in My Messenger.' They said, `We have believed, so bear
witness that we have submitted. ‘And when the disciples said, 'O Jesus son of
Mary, is your Lord able to bring down for us a feast from heaven?' He said,
'Fear God, if you are believers.'“ They said, “We wish to eat from it, so that
our hearts may be reassured, and know that you have told us the truth, and be
among those who witness it.” Jesus son of Mary said, “O God, our Lord, send
down for us a table from heaven, to be a festival for us, for the first of us,
and the last of us, and a sign from You; and provide for us; You are the Best
of providers.” God said, “I will send it down to you. But whoever among you
disbelieves thereafter, I will punish him with a punishment the like of which I
never punish any other being.” And God will say, “O Jesus son of Mary, did you
say to the people, `take me and my mother as gods rather than God?'“ He will
say, “Glory be to you! It is not for me to say what I have no right to. Had I
said it, you would have known it. You know what is in my soul, and I do not
know what is in your soul. You are the Knower of the hidden. I only told them
what you commanded me: that you shall worship God, my Lord and your Lord. And I
was a witness over them while I was among them; but when you took me to
Yourself, You became the Watcher over them—you are Witness over everything. If you
punish them, they are your servants; but if you forgive them, you are the
Mighty and Wise.” God will say, “This is a Day when the truthful will benefit
from their truthfulness.” They will have Gardens beneath which rivers flow,
wherein they will remain forever. God is pleased with them, and they are
pleased with Him. That is the great attainment. To God belongs the sovereignty
of the heavens and the earth and what lies in them, and He has power over
everything. 05:110…..120
Allah has no son
The Jews said, “Ezra is the son of God,” and the Christians
said, “The Messiah is the son of God.” These are their statements, out of their
mouths. They emulate the statements of those who blasphemed before. May God
assail them! How deceived they are! They have taken their rabbis and their
priests as lords instead of God, as well as the Messiah son of Mary. Although
they were commanded to worship none but The One God. There is no god except
Him. Glory be to Him; High above what they associate with Him. They want to
extinguish God’s light with their mouths, but God refuses except to complete
His light, even though the disbelievers dislike it. 05:29…32
We gave Moses the
Scripture, and sent a succession of messengers after him. And we gave Jesus son
of Mary the clear proofs, and we supported him with the Holy Spirit. Is it that
whenever a messenger comes to you with anything your souls do not desire, you
grew arrogant, calling some impostors, and killing others? 02:87
These messengers: We
gave some advantage over others. To some of them God spoke directly, and some
He raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and we
strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had God willed, those who succeeded them
would not have fought one another, after the clear signs had come to them; but
they disputed; some of them believed, and some of them disbelieved. Had God
willed, they would not have fought one another; but God does whatever He
desires. 02:253
Chapter Five
Gospel
Gospel
He sent down to you the Book with
the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the
Gospel.03:03
And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah
and the Gospel.03:48
O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the
Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason?
03:65
In their footsteps, we sent Jesus son of Mary, fulfilling the
Torah that preceded him; and we gave him the Gospel, wherein is guidance and
light, and confirming the Torah that preceded him, and guidance and counsel for
the righteous. So let the people of the Gospel rule according to what God
revealed in it. Those who do not rule according to what God revealed are the
sinners.05:46-46
Had they observed the Torah, and the Gospel, and what was
revealed to them from their Lord, they would have consumed amply from above
them, and from beneath their feet. Among them is a moderate community, but evil
is what many of them are doing. O Messenger, convey what was revealed to you
from your Lord. But if you do not, then you would not have delivered His
message. And God will protect you from the people. God does not guide the
disbelieving people. Say, “O People of the Scripture! You have no basis until
you uphold the Torah, and the Gospel, and what is revealed to you from your
Lord.” But what is revealed to you from your Lord will increase many of them in
rebellion and disbelief, so do not be sorry for the disbelieving people. Those
who believe, and the Jews, and the Sabians, and the Christians—whoever believes
in God and the Last Day, and does what is right—they have nothing to fear, nor
shall they grieve.05:66….69
When God will say, “O Jesus son of Mary, recall my favor upon
you and upon your mother, how I supported you with the Holy Spirit. You spoke
to the people from the crib, and in maturity. How I taught you the Scripture
and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. And recall that you molded from clay
the shape of a bird, by my leave, and then you breathed into it, and it became
a bird, by my leave. And you healed the blind and the leprous, by my leave; and
you revived the dead, by my leave. And recall that I restrained the Children of
Israel from you when you brought them the clear miracles. But those who
disbelieved among them said, `This is nothing but obvious sorcery.'“ 05:110
Those who follow the
Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in the Torah and
the Gospel in their possession. He directs them to righteousness, and deters
them from evil, and allows for them all good things, and prohibits for them
wickedness, and unloads the burdens and the shackles that are upon them. Those
who believe in him, and respect him, and support him, and follow the light that
came down with him—these are the successful.07:157
God has purchased from
the believers their lives and their properties in exchange for Paradise. They
fight in God’s way, and they kill and get killed. It is a promise binding on
Him in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Quran. And who is more true to his
promise than God? So rejoice in making such an exchange—that is the supreme
triumph.09:111
Muhammad is the
Messenger of God. Those with him are stern against the disbelievers, yet compassionate
amongst themselves. You see them kneeling, prostrating, seeking blessings from
God and approval. Their marks are on their faces from the effects of
prostration. Such is their description in the Torah, and their description in
the Gospel: like a plant that sprouts, becomes strong, grows thick, and rests
on its stem, impressing the farmers. Through them He enrages the disbelievers.
God has promised those among them who believe and do good deeds forgiveness and
a great reward.48:29
Then we sent in their
wake our messengers, and followed up with Jesus son of Mary, and we gave him
the Gospel, and instilled in the hearts of those who followed him compassion
and mercy. But as for the monasticism which they invented—we did not ordain it
for them—only to seek God’s approval. But they did not observe it with its due
observance. So we gave those of them who believed their reward, but many of
them are sinful. 57:27
Chapter Six
The Christians
The Christians
Abraham was neither a Jew nor a
Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the
Polytheists.03:67
Those who believe, and those who are Jewish, and the Christians,
and the Sabeans—any who believe in God and the Last Day, and act
righteously—will have their reward with their Lord; they have nothing to fear,
nor will they grieve. 02:62
And they say, “None will enter Heaven unless he is a Jew or a
Christian.” These are their wishes. Say, “Produce your proof, if you are
truthful.” In fact, whoever submits himself to God, and is a doer of good, will
have his reward with his Lord—they have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve.
The Jews say, “The Christians are not based on anything;” and the Christians
say, “The Jews are not based on anything.” Yet they both read the Scripture.
Similarly, the ignorant said the same thing. God will judge between them on the
Day of Resurrection regarding their differences. 02:111…113
The Jews and the
Christians will not approve of you, unless you follow their creed. Say, “God’s
guidance is the guidance.” Should you follow their desires, after the knowledge
that has come to you, you will have in God neither guardian nor helper.02:120
And they say, “Be Jews or Christians, and you will be guided.”
Say, “Rather, the religion of Abraham, the Monotheist; he was not an idolater.”
02:135
Or do you say that
Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Patriarchs were Jews or Christians?
Say, “Do you know better, or God?” And who does greater wrong than he who
conceals a testimony he has from God? God is not unaware of what you do. 02:140
And from those who
say, “We are Christians,” We received their pledge, but they neglected some of
what they were reminded of. So we provoked enmity and hatred among them until
the Day of Resurrection; God will then inform them of what they used to craft.
05:14
The Jews and the
Christians say, “We are the children of God, and His beloved.” Say, “Why then
does He punish you for your sins?” In fact, you are humans from among those He
created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. To God
belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what lies between them,
and to Him is the return.05:18
O you who believe! Do
not take the Jews and the Christians as allies; some of them are allies of one
another. Whoever of you allies himself with them is one of them. God does not
guide the wrongdoing people.05:51
Those who believe, and the Jews, and the Sabians, and the
Christians—whoever believes in God and the Last Day, and does what is
right—they have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve.05:69
You will find that the
people most hostile towards the believers are the Jews and the polytheists. And
you will find that the nearest in affection towards the believers are those who
say, “We are Christians.” That is because among they are priests and monks, and
they are not arrogant.05:82
The Jews said, “Ezra
is the son of God,” and the Christians said, “The Messiah is the son of God.”
These are their statements, out of their mouths. They emulate the statements of
those who blasphemed before. May God assail them! How deceived they are! 09:30
Those who believe, and
those who are Jewish, and the Sabeans, and the Christians, and the
Zoroastrians, and the Polytheists—God will judge between them on the Day of
Resurrection. God is witness to all things.22:17
Chapter Seven
Jesus Death
The Death of Jesus
God said, “O Jesus, I am expiring your life, and
raising you to me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make
those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of
Resurrection. Then to me is your return; then I will judge between you
regarding what you were disputing. 03:55
And for their saying, “We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the
son of Mary, the Messenger of God.” In fact, they did not kill him, nor did
they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they did. Indeed, those who
differ about him are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, except
the following of assumptions. Certainly, they did not kill him. Rather, God raised him up to
Himself. God is Mighty and Wise. 04:157-158
And God will say, “O Jesus son of Mary, did you say to the
people, `take me and my mother as gods rather than God?'“ He will say, “Glory
be to you! It is not for me to say what I have no right to. Had I said it, you
would have known it. You know what is in my soul, and I do not know what is in
your soul. You are the Knower of the hidden. I only told them what you
commanded me: that you shall worship God, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a
witness over them while I was among them; but when you expired me, you became
the Watcher over them—you are Witness over everything.05:116-117
Who was tortured?
God said, “I will send it (the table) down to you. But whoever
among you disbelieves thereafter, I will I torture him a torment that I do not
torture anyone of the worlds” 05:115
