بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
by Shaykh 'Abdur-Rahmân ibn Nâsir as-Sa'dî ( رحمه الله , rahimahullaah, may Allaah have mercy on him, died 1376AH)
[Part 22]
[Taken from Tayseer al-Kareem ar-Rahmaan, Abdur-Rahmaan Naasir as-Sa`dee's Tafseer]
"الْمُؤْمِنُ Al-Mu`min (The Giver of Security)
The One Who Has praised Himself with Perfect Attributes and with perfection of magnificence and beauty. The One
Who sent His Messengers and revealed His
Books alomg with signs and clear proofs. The one who
testified to the truth of His Messengers by giving them every sign and proof that would certify the truth of what they came with.
Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى
, Subhanahu wa
Ta'ala, Glorified and Exalted be He]
says,
هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْمَلِكُ الْقُدُّوسُ السَّلَامُ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ الْعَزِيزُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ ۚ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا
يُشْرِكُونَ
"He is Allâh, beside Whom Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme.
Glorified is Allâh! (High is He) above all that they associate as partners with
Him."

The One Who has complete and perfect power and ability.

did good with His good and the one who worked evil with His Hellfire. The One Who, when He wills a thing to be he merely says,

Islaam.

Allaah preserve him upon the truth)
"All praise be to Allaah [1], and may His peace and blessings be on His Messenger (Muhammad), as well as his family, Companions and those who follow his guidance.
To
proceed:
All of the nations are in agreement that God alone is
the One who created this universe with its heavens and earth, as well as everything that lies between them and within them, such as the angels, jinn [2] and mankind.
And they acknowledge that He is the One who governs and administers this universe, and that everything in existence is subjected to His Will and Power, but yet in spite of this, He maintains
it with Gentleness, Mercy and Wisdom.
He has entrusted every sane adult with
worshipping Him and obeying His commands. And it is for this reason that He created them, as He [الله Allah سبحانه و تعالى , Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, Glorified and Exalted be He] says:
[عوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
"I seek refuge with Allah from Shaitan [Satan], the accursed
one."

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ
إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
مَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَن
يُطْعِمُونِ
إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ
“And I
(Allâh) created not the jinn and mankind except that they
should worship Me (Alone).
I seek not any provision from them (i.e. provision for themselves or for My creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me (i.e.
feed themselves or My creatures).
Verily, Allâh is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong.”
[ القرآن الكريم The Noble Qur'aan, سورة الذاريات Soorah adh-Dhaariyaat

Taqiuddeen al-Hilaalee, Ph.D. and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, Published By Darussalam.]
So He provided them with the necessary tools they would need to carry out this responsibility – of worshipping Him – such as upright innate natures and rational and conscious intellects. And He subjected the heavens and the earth to serve them.
And He sent them
noble messengers every time the Devil and his helpers diverted them away from the objective for
which they were created, such as towards polytheism, the worship of him (i.e. the Devil), and the abandonment of God’s Straight Path.
At
the head of these noble messengers were those who possessed strong will and determination, and they were: Muhammad, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Noah, may God send the best of His peace and blessings on them.

وَالَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ وَمَا وَصَّيْنَا بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ ۖ أَنْ أَقِيمُوا الدِّينَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُوا فِيهِ ۚ كَبُرَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَا تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ ۚ اللَّهُ يَجْتَبِي إِلَيْهِ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي إِلَيْهِ مَن يُنِيبُ
"He (Allâh) has
ordained for you
the same religion (Islâmic Monotheism) which
He ordained for Nûh (Noah), and that which We have revealed to you (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa
sallam]), and that which We ordained for Ibrâhîm (Abraham), Mûsâ (Moses) and 'Isâ (Jesus) saying you
should establish religion (i.e. to do what it orders you to do practically) and make no divisions in it (religion) (i.e. various sects in religion). Intolerable for the Mushrikûn is that (Islamic Monotheism) to which you (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu
'alayhi wa sallam]) call them. Allâh chooses for Himself whom He wills, and guides to Himself who turns to Him in repentance and in obedience."

So all of the messengers – especially those who were mentioned above
– their
religion was one, and it was Islaam; there being
no religion besides it that they
ascribed to. [3]

"Truly, the religion with Allâh is Islâm. Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and

The word “nation” here refers to religion. So this means that their religion is one and it is Islaam, which consists of making one’s worship sincere and solely for God, the
One and Indivisible."

"[1] Allaah is
the proper name for God, the Creator of everything that
exists. When reading the name Allaah throughout this essay, notions of an idol,
statue or human being should not come to mind. God has referred to Himself as Allaah in the Qur’aan, and it is by this name that the Muslims call Him. So it refers to the Creator, Sustainer, and Administrator of everything in existence, and not a man, concept or idol. The words Allaah and God will be used interchangeably throughout this essay when appropriate to make for easier reading for Non-Muslims who are not accustomed with the name Allaah.
[2] The jinn are a separate species created by God from a smokeless flame of fire. They are
part of the Unseen and information concerning them has been revealed to us in the Qur’aan. In fact, the Devil, is one from among the jinn. Contrary to western beliefs, the Devil is not a “fallen”
angel, but rather a jinnee (singular of jinn), who refused to obey God in humbling himself before His creation
of Adam, and was thus cast out and rejected. God created the angels to obey Him, as

[3] Islaam is
an Arabic word that means to surrender and submit one’s
will. This is what the Religion of Islaam entails in that when one adheres to Islaam as a Muslim, he submits his will to the Will of the one true God, Allaah. So whatever God requires of him, he abides by it without
doubting it or fighting against it. A Muslim has two sources from which his religion is derived – 1. The Qur’aan, and 2. The teachings of Prophet Muhammad, known as the Sunnah. As a Muslim, one must follow the Commandments and avoid the Prohibitions
mentioned in these sources of revelation, thus submitting to
the Command of God."]

"All created beings are servants of God, and amongst these created beings are the noble messengers, which include those messengers of strong will and determination: Muhammad, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Noah. So they are in fact God’s servants – He created them so that they may worship Him and call the people to worship Him.
Therefore, God is the Lord and Creator, and He is the One deserving of being worshipped. No created being from amongst all of His creations shares, partakes in or assists Him in even the smallest aspect of this universe, whether with respect to its creation, sustenance, bringing to life (of things) or causing things to die. Nothing commingles with Him in any of His Attributes of Lordship and Divinity and His Perfect and Most High descriptions.

[Translation - "Interpretation of the Meaning of The Noble Qur'aan in the English Language" By Dr. Muhammad Taqiuddeen al-Hilaalee, Ph.D. and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, Published By Darussalam.]
After having made this introduction, our objective here is to clarify and explain the condition of the noble messenger of God, Jesus, son of Mary, and his status in Islaam.
This honourable prophet holds a great position in Islaam, which the Jews and Christians are either unaware of or purposely neglect in their daily lives, beliefs and writings.
Islaam has substantiated his great role, which has been confirmed in the best, most complete and just of manners in several clear verses of the Qur’aan. Every pure and uncorrupt intellect should not accept anything except that which Islaam has affirmed for this Prophet, whilst rejecting everything that contradicts that, such as what the Jews affirm from slander against him and his mother, and what the Christians affirm from exaggerating about him and deifying him at times by considering him to be the son of God or God (Himself) or part of a
divine trinity, and at times by debasing and mutilating him (i.e. on the Cross), all of which indicates misguidance and
deviation in the religion and mind.
God has related to us the best and most marvellous of stories concerning Jesus and his mother, from the beginning of their ordeal going through the various stages of their lives, clarifying it in depth. So the believers from among the followers of Muhammad believed in all of this and gave Jesus and his mother the status they deserved and welcomed them with the highest level of honor.
In the same manner, they welcomed all of the other prophets and messengers and believed in them. In fact, Islaam has established believing in them as being one of the major pillars of Faith. And furthermore, it holds that whoever belittles any of the prophets in any manner, has committed disbelief and leaves from the fold of Islaam. So what about those who disbelieve in them or even one from among them?! God has praised Jesus and his mother, the Virgin Mary, in many chapters of the Qur’aan. We will mention some examples from some of these
chapters. He [الله Allah سبحانه و تعالى , Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, Glorified and Exalted be He] says in Chapter
3 of the noble Qur’aan:
1.
[بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
“In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.”]
إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَىٰ آدَمَ وَنُوحًا وَآلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ
ذُرِّيَّةً بَعْضُهَا مِن بَعْضٍ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
إِذْ قَالَتِ امْرَأَتُ عِمْرَانَ رَبِّ إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ لَكَ مَا فِي بَطْنِي مُحَرَّرًا فَتَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْهَا قَالَتْ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَضَعْتُهَا أُنثَىٰ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا وَضَعَتْ وَلَيْسَ الذَّكَرُ كَالْأُنثَىٰ ۖ وَإِنِّي سَمَّيْتُهَا مَرْيَمَ وَإِنِّي أُعِيذُهَا بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا مِنَ
الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
فَتَقَبَّلَهَا رَبُّهَا بِقَبُولٍ حَسَنٍ وَأَنبَتَهَا نَبَاتًا حَسَنًا وَكَفَّلَهَا زَكَرِيَّا ۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا زَكَرِيَّا الْمِحْرَابَ وَجَدَ عِندَهَا رِزْقًا ۖ قَالَ يَا مَرْيَمُ أَنَّىٰ لَكِ هَٰذَا ۖ
قَالَتْ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَرْزُقُ مَن
يَشَاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
هُنَالِكَ دَعَا زَكَرِيَّا رَبَّهُ ۖ قَالَ رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً ۖ إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ
"Allâh chose Adam, Nûh (Noah), the family of Ibrâhîm (Abraham) and the family of 'Imrân above the 'Alamîn (mankind and jinn) (of their times).
Offspring, one of the other, and Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
(Remember) when the wife of 'Imrân said: "O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your place of worship), so accept this from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knowing."
Then when she gave birth to her [child Maryam (Mary)], she said: "O my Lord! I have given birth to a female child," – and Allâh knew better what she brought forth, – "And the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam (Mary), and I seek refuge with You (Allâh) for her and for her offspring from Shaitân (Satan), the outcast."
So, her Lord (Allâh) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zakariyyâ (Zechariah). Every time he entered Al-Mihrâb to (visit) her, he found her supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Maryam (Mary)! From where have you got this?" She said, "This is from Allâh." Verily, Allâh provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit.
At that time Zakariyyâ (Zechariah) invoked his Lord, saying: "O my Lord! Grant me from You, a good offspring. You are indeed the All-Hearer of invocation." "
[ القرآن الكريم The Noble Qur'aan, سورة آل عمران Soorah Aal-'Imraan - (The Family of 'Imraan) 003, Verses 033 - 038]
[Translation - "Interpretation of the Meaning of The Noble Qur'aan in the English Language" By Dr. Muhammad Taqiuddeen al-Hilaalee, Ph.D. and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, Published By Darussalam.]
The story of Mary begins with this great connection of mentioning those whom God chose over mankind, which included the family of ‘Imraan, who were the parents of Mary. This is done in order to make it clear that Mary came from a righteous and noble family, and that she was part of the offspring of chosen prophets, and that her mother was a pious woman. An example of her piety and righteousness was that she vowed to offer what was in her womb to the services of God. She was hoping that it would be a boy, but instead she gave birth to a girl. So
she returned this matter back to God, seeking His pardon and asking Him to protect her daughter and her offspring from
the outcast Devil. So her Lord answered her supplication and warmly accepted Mary, causing her to be raised in a good manner and placing a righteous and merciful prophet, Zachariah, in charge of caring for her. This shows that the mother of Jesus had a tremendous upbringing.
Allaah then continued to grant her more of His Bounty and Generosity, as He informs us about this in His saying:
2.
[بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
“In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.”]
[الله Allah سبحانه و تعالى , Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, Glorified and Exalted be He, says:]
وَإِذْ قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَا مَرْيَمُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَاكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَاصْطَفَاكِ عَلَىٰ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ
يَا مَرْيَمُ اقْنُتِي لِرَبِّكِ وَاسْجُدِي وَارْكَعِي مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ
ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ أَنبَاءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ ۚ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يُلْقُونَ أَقْلَامَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ يَكْفُلُ مَرْيَمَ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ
"And (remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allâh has chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above the women of the 'Alamîn (mankind and jinn) (of her lifetime)."
"O Maryam (Mary)! Submit yourself with obedience to your Lord (Allâh, by worshipping none but Him Alone) and prostrate yourself, and bow down along with Ar-Râkî'ûn (those who bow down)."
This is (a part) of the news of the Ghaib (Unseen, i.e. the news of the past nations of which you have no knowledge) which We reveal to you (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]). You were not with them, when they cast lots with their pens as to which of them should be charged with the care of Maryam (Mary); nor were you with them when they disputed."
[ القرآن الكريم The Noble Qur'aan, سورة آل عمران Soorah Aal-'Imraan - (The Family of 'Imraan) 003, Verses 042 - 044]
[Translation - "Interpretation of the Meaning of The Noble Qur'aan in the English Language" By Dr. Muhammad Taqiuddeen al-Hilaalee, Ph.D. and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, Published By Darussalam.]
So neither Muhammad, the unlettered prophet [4] nor his followers were aware of such tremendous and truthful information concerning all of the messengers, Mary, her mother, Zachariah and those who disputed with him regarding who would care for Mary. Nor were they aware of Zachariah winning charge of her after he had drawn lots with pens with his opponents. They did not know of how Zachariah welcomed her and of who used to bring her sustenance from God as a gift to her, which led Zachariah in spite of his old age and the barrenness of his wife to
ask God to grant him righteous offspring. Neither Muhammad nor his followers were aware of any of this previously. It is
not possible that you will be able to find such speech bearing the highest level of splendor and eloquence and which is nicely phrased and magnificently presented in the Gospels or anywhere else. This proves the truthfulness of Prophet Muhammad and that he was truly a messenger of Allaah, and this shows that he did not speak from his own whims, but rather that it was revelation revealed to him by the Lord of all creation."

"[4] It is a well-documented fact amongst historians and researchers that Muhammad [ صلى الله عليه و سلم , Allaah mention him in the highest of gatherings] was an illiterate man. In fact, he [ صلى الله عليه و سلم , Allaah mention him in the highest of gatherings] even remained in this condition until his death. He [ صلى الله عليه و سلم , Allaah mention him in the highest of gatherings] would receive revelation from God through the Angel Gabriel and dictate God’s words to his scribes who would record it for him. The Muslims of that time would also memorize the revelation by heart. This is another miracle of God in that He chose an unlettered man to carry His Message, proving beyond doubt that it would be impossible for Muhammad [ صلى الله عليه و سلم , Allaah mention him in the highest of gatherings] to forge the Qur’aan on his own. This is since the Qur’aan contains the highest level of literature, accurate historical facts, amazing scientific facts that
have only been discovered in recent times, and many other amazing aspects that would make it impossible for a man in his position and time to have produced a magnificent book like the Qur’aan on his own."]

is a Straight Path." "
[ القرآن الكريم The Noble Qur'aan, سورة آل عمران Soorah Aal-'Imraan - (The Family of 'Imraan) 003, Verses 045 - 051]
[Translation - "Interpretation of the Meaning of The Noble Qur'aan in the English Language" By Dr. Muhammad Taqiuddeen al-Hilaalee, Ph.D. and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, Published By Darussalam.]
These verses talk about the beginning of Jesus’ affair
and the manner in which God created him. It also talks about his being sent as a messenger to the Tribe of Israel and the great manners that God granted him, which proves the truthfulness of his being a messenger and of him and his mother being free from what the Jews accused them of. It is from the common practice of God when creating humans and animals that the process of reproduction and childbirth occur by way of two parents – a male and a female. However before this, He had created
Adam, the father of mankind, from clay, i.e. he did not have two parents. And He created Eve, the mother of mankind, from a male, without a female – from the rib of Adam. All of this was from God’s magnificent signs, which no one in the earth or the heavens is capable of doing. So after a long time had passed with mankind’s existence on earth, God again wanted to show mankind a new sign that would prove His great Ability – and that was in the creation of Jesus, whom He created from just a female without any male involved. Mary found news of this strange matter hard to believe, so the angel Gabriel told her: “So it will be, for Allaah creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He need only say: ‘Be, and it is.’”
So every creation no matter how big or small – from God’s Throne to His footstool to the heavens and the earth and the mountains and oceans and what lies in them, not to mention outer space and what it contains such as the sun, the moon and the stars – all of these are brought into existence by God’s Desire and Will and by His merely saying: “Be!” So Glorified and Exalted is He. This is from a great Lord that is All-Able and All-Overpowering. Nothing can resist or hold back from His Desire nor can anything escape from His Desire. So
whatever He wills comes to pass and whatever He doesn’t will doesn’t come to pass.
God granted Jesus knowledge, wisdom, the (divine) message, and miraculous signs as part of the virtues which He grants to all of His prophets and messengers. So the creation of Jesus’ with the Word of God, “Be”, from only a female, was one of His miracles that indicated His great Ability. However, this was preceded by a miracle far greater than it, which was the creation of Adam, without any male or female, and the creation of Eve from the rib
of Adam, without any female. All of this proves the magnificence and great Ability of God to the
believers with intellects and leads them to thank, love, glorify, sanctify, honor and direct all forms of worship to Him alone.
The people who best comprehend this aspect, implement it in their lives and call others to it are the noble prophets, at the head of whom were the five prophets with strong will and determination, which includes Jesus. This is asserted in the Qur’aan as well as in the preserved revelations that came before it, like the Gospels, before they were altered and changed. [5]
Jesus affirmed and clearly stated that he was a servant of God and that he was created and brought up (from childhood). And he affirmed that God was his Lord, Master and Creator as well as the Lord, master and Owner of all other creatures. So first, he affirmed all of this, then he called the people to worship this great Lord, Master, Creator of all that exists and Owner of all creation, as he said: “Truly, Allaah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him alone. This is the Straight Path.” And before that, he said: “So fear Allaah and obey
me.”
So God alone is the One who deserves to be feared and obeyed. All of the prophets including Jesus called to this, and God assisted them with amazing miraculous signs as proof for the truthfulness of what they brought. So mankind had no choice after all of this except to answer the call of the messengers and obey them in that which they conveyed from God from His revelation, which consisted of the command to believe in
only Him and make all the worship strictly for Him alone (apart from false gods).
The point derived from these revealed texts is that God informs us in them that Jesus, as well other prophets beside him, hold a great position in Islaam. And they contain information that his creation and the creation of his mother came about from the highest form of purity and that they both came from families that were firmly upon Islaam and a pure state. These verses also contain mention of his Message, his miracles, and his call to believe in God’s Lordship, to worship Him, fear Him and be dutiful to Him."

This shows that the revealed books were changed and altered after their respective messengers had passed on. This was the case with the Jews, who changed the Torah after Moses died to conform to their whims, and the Christians, who changed the Gospels after Jesus was raised unto God. Proof for this is as evident as the moon on a clear night, for one only needs to refer to the various editions/translations/versions of the Bible that exist in circulation today, not to mention the contradictions that can be found in the Bible, as documented by even major Christian theologians."]

"This speech concerning Jesus is just like God’s speech concerning Adam and all of the messengers, with regard
to their history, manners and call. They are true stories, there being no folklore or exaggeration in them at all. Muhammad and his followers believed this and loved the prophets from the bottom of their hearts. And they honored and respected all of the prophets amongst whom was Jesus, peace be upon him. And they held this to be one of the fundamental beliefs of their Religion, as الله Allaah [ سبحانه و تعالى , Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, Glorified and Exalted be He] says:

"And mention in the Book (the Qur'ân, O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam], the story of) Maryam (Mary), when she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east.
She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh [angel
Jibrâîl (Gabriel)], and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects.
She said: "Verily, I seek refuge with the Most Gracious (Allâh) from you, if you do fear Allâh."
(The angel) said: "I am only a messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son."
She said: "How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?"
He said: "So (it will be), your Lord said: 'That is easy for Me (Allâh). And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allâh), and it is a matter (already) decreed (by Allâh).' "
So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place (i.e. Bethlehem valley about 4-6 miles from Jerusalem).
And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date palm. She said: "Would that I
had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight!"
Then [the babe 'Isâ (Jesus) or Jibrâîl (Gabriel)] cried to her from below her, saying: "Grieve not: your Lord has provided a water stream under you.
"And shake the trunk of the date palm towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe dates upon you."
"So eat and drink and be glad. And if you
see any human being, say: 'Verily, I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious (Allâh) so I shall not speak to any human being this day."'
Then she brought him (the baby) to her people, carrying him. They said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Indeed you have brought a thing Fariyy (a mighty thing). (Tafsir At-Tabari)
"O sister (i.e. the like) of Hârûn (Aaron)! Your father was not a man who used to commit adultery, nor your mother was an unchaste woman."
Then she pointed to him. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"
He ['Isâ (Jesus)] said: "Verily, I am a slave of Allâh, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet;"
"And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me Salât (prayer) and Zakât (obligatory charity), as long as I live."
"And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest.
"And Salâm (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!"
Such is 'Isâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). (It is) a statement of truth about which they doubt (or dispute).
It befits not (the Majesty of) Allâh that
He should beget a son [this refers to the slander of Christians against Allâh, by saying that 'Isâ (Jesus) is the son of Allâh]. Glorified (and Exalted) is He (above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it: "Be!" – and it is.
['Isâ (Jesus) said:] "And verily, Allâh is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is a Straight Path. (Allâh's religion of Islâmic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets)." (Tafsir At-Tabarî)
Then the sects differed [i.e. the Christians about 'Isâ (Jesus) ['alayhis-salâm]], so woe
to the disbelievers [those who gave false witness by saying that 'Isâ (Jesus) is the son of Allâh] from the Meeting of a great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire).
How clearly will they (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) see and hear, the Day when they will appear before Us! But the Zalimûn (polytheists and wrong doers) today are in plain error."
[ القرآن الكريم The Noble Qur'aan, سورة مريم Soorah Maryam - (Mary (Mother of Jesus)) 019, Verses 016 - 038]
[Translation
- "Interpretation of the Meaning of The Noble Qur'aan in the English Language" By Dr. Muhammad Taqiuddeen al-Hilaalee, Ph.D. and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, Published By Darussalam.]
[Translator’s Note: This does not refer to Aaron, the brother of Moses, but rather to a pious man who lived at the time of Mary.]
This true story explains what happened to Mary after God had raised her in a good manner with the care she received from that noble prophet (i.e. Zachariah) and after
she had become reputed as a pious worshipper that was pure, chaste and honorable. So the time, which God designated to carry out His Will by creating Jesus in the
manner He informed us He would, had now come: “Then We sent to her Our spirit, and he appeared before her in the form of a man, in
all respects.”
This refers to the angel Gabriel. So at the time this (miraculous) event took place, this pure and chaste woman had set out to devote herself to worshipping God, and she had placed a screen in front of her for this purpose in order to protect her honor and chastity and so that she can establish her worship. Then lo and behold, a human that was well-proportioned in his form and beauty suddenly appeared before her. So she demonstrated the signs of her chastity and modesty in this instance, saying: “Verily, I seek refuge in the Most Gracious (Allaah) from you, if you do fear
Allaah.”
Such a statement could only come from the heart of a true believer that seeks refuge and solace in God during times of grief and difficulty. And in her saying, she reminds and alerts (the angel in the form of a man) to be fearful of God. All of this was done in order to repel what occurred to her from this frightening and dangerous ordeal.
Then the noble messenger (Gabriel) gave her news that caused her fear to be removed and her heart to find tranquility: “I am only a messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son.” So she replied in amazement: “How can I have a son when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?”
This is the normal way that children are conceived (i.e. through cohabitation). So the angel informed her: “So it will be. Your Lord said: ‘That is easy for Me. And We
wish to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from
Us.’”
So creating the universe and all that it contains within it is something easy for God,
[بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
“In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.”]
as He [ الله Allah سبحانه و تعالى , Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, Glorified and Exalted be He] says:
مَّا خَلْقُكُمْ وَلَا بَعْثُكُمْ إِلَّا كَنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ بَصِيرٌ
"The creation of you all and the resurrection of you all are only as (the creation and resurrection of) a single person. Verily, Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Seer."
[ القرآن الكريم The Noble Qur'aan, سورة لقمان Soorah Luqmaan - ((Prophet) Luqmân) 031, Verse 028]
[Translation - "Interpretation of the Meaning of The Noble Qur'aan in the English Language" By Dr. Muhammad Taqiuddeen al-Hilaalee, Ph.D. and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, Published By Darussalam.]
So this spirit blew (the life of Jesus) into her. And he was the angel Gabriel whom God sent for this great task to carry out His Command. So she conceived him, and
withdrew with the baby in her womb to a far away place. There she gave birth to her child and was faced with the problem that any chaste and honorable woman like her
would feel (i.e. slander of being a fornicator), so she wished she were dead. Then there came that which removed her fear and anxiety: “(The baby Jesus) cried out to
her from below her, saying: ‘Grieve not, your Lord has provided a water stream under you.”
These were signs and miracles that increased her reliance, tranquility and faith in the fact that God would protect her, demonstrate that she
was free from any claims of fornication, and manifest her honor and nobility. So all she needed to do was point to this infant that the slanderers used as a means to accuse her of fornication. “They said: ‘How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?’”
So this child, whose speech they disregarded, startled them while he was still in his cradle through that amazing miracle, saying to them: “Verily, I am a slave of Allaah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I may be. And He has enjoined on me prayer and giving of charity for as long as I live. And (He has
enjoined me) to be dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me arrogant and wretched. And peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I shall die, and
the day I will be raised alive.”
These are truly some of Allaah’s incredible verses, in which He discusses the way Jesus was conceived and born and how he absolved his Virgin Mother from slander.
Then these amazing verses
provide an explanation of the mission and message of Jesus. Part of Jesus’ great message was to clarify to the people that he was a servant
of God, and remarkably, this was the first thing he said when he spoke to the people (from the
cradle). The second thing he mentioned in his speech was his Message,
saying: “He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.” Then the third thing he talked about was the effects of his call: “And He has made me blessed
wherever I may be.”"

“Makaanatu ‘Eesaa [ عليه السلام] fil-Islaam” (The Status of Jesus [ عليه السلام , peace be upon him] in Islaam) - Part 4
by Shaykh Dr. Rabee’ bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee
( حفظه الله ,
hafidhahullaah, may
Allaah preserve him upon the truth)
"[Continuing the explanation of:
[ القرآن الكريم The Noble Qur'aan, سورة
مريم Soorah Maryam - (Mary (Mother of Jesus)) 019, Verses 016 - 038] ]
Then he went on to explain His religious laws and the religious laws of those messengers that came before him, saying: “And He has enjoined on me prayer and the giving of charity for as long as I live.”
Then he talked about his beautiful characteristics, such as being righteous and dutiful, and how God did not give him the characteristics of the arrogant and wretched: “And (He has enjoined me) to be dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me arrogant and wretched.”
Then Allaah comments on everything he mentioned previously about Jesus and his mother, saying: “Such is Jesus, son of Mary. This is a statement of truth about which they doubt.
This is the true and definitive statement from the Lord who created Jesus and everyone else – the One who is All-Knowing and All-Aware of every minuscule and magnificent aspect of this universe and mankind, amongst whom was Jesus. Allaah has indeed stated the truth about him, which cannot be blemished
by the smallest
speck of falsehood that the liars from amongst those doubtful and deviant individuals state about him. Allaah has spoken the truth about him, which every person with an uncorrupted intellect and pure innate understanding
will accept. This is also what all of the previous religious laws spoke about and that which the believers adhered to.
So all of these events that occurred, such as the angel Gabriel breathing into (the sleeve of) Jesus’ mother, then her conceiving him and giving birth to him, the pains and hardships his mother faced because of that, her being absolved from these hardships by Allaah causing her child to speak from the cradle, which proved that she was free from blame and which also proved that he was one of the slaves of God that He chose to be His prophet and messenger and to receive His Book, as well as his being mandated with the same tremendous religious laws that the prophets and messengers before
him were mandated with, such as establishing the prayer, giving charity and being dutiful – all of this is the established and
confirmed truth. And any claims and allegations that contradict this are false. So the attacks and accusations forged by the Jews against Jesus and his mother are all lies. And the claims made by their opponents – the Christians – with respect to Jesus alleging that he was God or the son of God or part of a divine trinity are also falsehood and misguidance, which no upright intellect, religious law or innate nature will accept.
The
truth with regard to this matter is that which has been stated by God, the One who created Jesus and everyone else from beginning to end – jinn and mankind – for the purpose of worshipping Him. And He is the One who chose him as a slave and messenger, just as
He chose others to carry and convey his Message to mankind, so that they may actualize the objective for which they were created – and that is to worship God alone and to make the religion sincerely for His sake.
Jesus indeed conveyed His Message in the best of manners, and he was at the forefront from his nation of those who worshipped and submitted themselves to God, speaking the truth openly from the time when he was in his cradle to his years of manhood up to the point when God raised him up to Him.
This is the status of the prophet and messenger of God, Jesus, peace be upon him, in Islaam and according to the Muslim nations. So this is the truth and anything else beside it is a lie and misguidance."
“Makaanatu ‘Eesaa fil-Islaam” (The Status of Jesus in
Islaam)

e-Book:
"Contrary to Christian beliefs, Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified, but rather that someone else was made to resemble him and crucified instead of him. The Qur’aan states that he was raised up to the heavens where he will await until the day when he will be sent back to earth towards the end of time.
[أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
"I seek refuge with Allah from Shaitan [Satan], the accursed one."
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
“In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.”]
الله Allaah [ سبحانه و تعالى , Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, Glorified and Exalted be He] says:
وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ
وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ
اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ ۚ مَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلَّا اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّ ۚ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًا
بَل رَّفَعَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا
وَإِن مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ ۖ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا
"And because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah 'Isâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allâh," – but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared so to them [the resemblance of 'Isâ (Jesus) was put over another
man (and they killed that man)], and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow
nothing but conjecture. For surely, they killed him not [i.e. 'Isâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) ['alayhis-salâm]]:
But Allâh raised him ['Isâ (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) to Himself (and he ['alayhis-salâm] is in the heavens). And Allâh is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise.
And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him ['Isâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), as only a Messenger of Allâh and a human being] before his ['Isâ (Jesus) ['alayhis-salâm] or a Jew's or a
Christian's] death (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he ['Isâ (Jesus)] will be a witness
against them."
[ القرآن الكريم The Noble Qur'aan, سورة النساء Soorah an-Nisaa. - (The Women) 004, Verses 157 - 159]
[Translation - "Interpretation of the Meaning of The Noble Qur'aan in the English Language" By Dr. Muhammad Taqiuddeen al-Hilaalee, Ph.D. and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, Published By Darussalam.]
The Prophet Muhammad has prophesied that Jesus will return and judge mankind with justice. He will descend by the white minaret in the east of Damascus, placing his hands upon the wings of two angels, and will fight against the Antichrist (Dajjaal)
until he reaches him by the gate of Ludd (present-day Israel), where he will kill him."]
