Commentary
Purpose of revealing this verse is that a
group of Christians from Najraan came unto Messenger of Allah (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him). These people were convinced about
godhead of Jesus (peace be upon him). They used to say him “son of God” (let’s
flee to God) and believed in trinity. When the conversation began, Messenger of
Allah, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) proved that
Jesus (peace be upon him) was a mankind and servant of God Almighty. Allah
Almighty is pure from it that He is nourished in the womb of any woman, and
after birth He eats and drinks like common human being, (I seek shelter in
Allah Almighty from Satan the outcast). Messenger of Islam (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) described that the belief of Christians, in
which they say, “Jesus (peace be upon him) was hanged and died restlessly is
baseless (let us flee to God).
Last Messenger of God (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) said, “you do not know that ‘Allaahu laaa
‘ilaaha ‘illaa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyuum (Allah! There is no God save Him, the
Alive, the Eternal), He can never die, He bestowed body to the entire
creatures. Opposite to Him; Jesus (peace be upon him) will certainly die, and
it has been cleared that; how can anyone keep up other creature who cannot keep
up his own existence?
Listening to it, they all were silent. Then
Messenger of God (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said, “if you
have still any doubt then come, let us come out bringing our children (yours’
and ours’) and pray from God Almighty, “curse upon the liar”. They requested
that they would reply after consultation with one another. Accordingly, they
consulted among themselves that, “this person is Messenger of God (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him), if we shall oppose him in this manner,
the wrath of God will break in upon us. So, it is better for us to go back to
our homes”. Therefore, they went back to Najraan.
‘Alif-Laaam-Miiim – (these kinds of verses are short),
it was explained in Surah
AL-BAQARAH, Chapter – 2,
Verse # – 1, section -1). Saying something certainly about its meaning is
difficult. The scholars have explained its different meanings. Well-known
saying is that ‘Alif-Laaam-Miiim is substance of ‘Ana-Allaahu ‘A’-lamu (I, Allah; am the best Knower). In
short, God Almighty has rejected the beliefs of the Christians in
above-mentioned verse. Their following three Articles of Faith were famous:
(let us flee to God)
- Trinity (with the union of God, Jesus and Holy Spirit; it becomes
God).
- Jesus (peace be upon him) is God. He has come in the form of humankind.
- Jesus (peace be upon him) is son of God.
The words ‘Allaahu laaa
‘ilaaha ‘illaa Huu vitiated
the first article of the faith. Then the words Hayyul-Qayyuum proved that the second and the third
articles of the faith are wrong also, because, Jesus (peace be upon him) was
born from the womb of a woman. As though, he (peace be upon him) was indigent
of his mother for his birth. Moreover, while transitory is also for him (peace
be upon him), then he (peace be upon him) cannot be Qayyuum (the Eternal), so how can he (peace be
upon him) be Allah (God) Almighty?
