Advice for the Jews and the Christians

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.)

                                                                               

 يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ عَلَىٰ فَتْرَةٍ مِّنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ أَنتَقُولُوا۟ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنۢ بَشِيرٍ وَلَا نَذِيرٍ فَقَدْ جَآءَكُم بَشِيرٌ وَنَذِيرٌ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (19

19.  O People of the Scripture! Now hath Our Messenger come unto you to make things plain unto you after an interval (of cessation) of the messengers, lest ye should say: There came not unto us a messenger of cheer nor any warner. Now hath a Messenger of cheer and a warner come unto you. And Allah is Able to do all things.

19.  Yaaa-‘Ahlal-Kitaabi  qad  jaaa-‘akum  RasuuluNaa  yubayyinu  lakum  ‘alaa  fatratim-minar-rusuli  ‘an- taquuluu  maa  jaaa-‘anaa  mim-  bashiirinw-wa  laa  naziir;  faqad  jaaa-‘akum  Bashiirunw-wa  Naziir.  WAllaahu  ‘alaa  kulli  shay-‘in  Qadiir.

    Commentary

Fatratun – {to be lazy, to become loose, an interval (of cessation)}, fatuur is also from it, which means “deficiency, reduction, loss”. If something has been happening constantly, and then it has been stopped and its act of continuing has been suspended, this process of suspension and stoppage is called fatarah. And the period, during which it remained suspended, will be called “The Time of Fataratun”. No Messenger/Prophet had come for nearly six hundred year, after the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon Him), and coming of the Prophets/Messengers was ceased. It is called Fataratun. Here it has been described that “The Messenger of the end times, that is to say; Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), Last Messenger of Allah Almighty has come now unto you after an interval (of cessation) of the messengers. Believe in Him and obey Him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)!

It has been described in this verse, “Our Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has come unto you for the purpose, “to tell about the good news to the good people and to warn the evildoers about their punishment”. According to Arabic language, Bashiir is the Cheer and Naziir is the Warner. Therefore, every Messenger’s title is Bashiir and Naziir (peace be upon Them). This verse discloses that in future; none can say, “No Bashiir (Cheer) and Naziir (Warner) came towards us”, because this Last Messenger of Allah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has come in the world, Who is Bashiir and Naziir also. Neither the world can be arranged, nor the Hereafter without obeying Him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).

At the end, the People of the Scripture have been threatened, “Remember! Allah is Able to do all things. If you will not believe, He can bring into being more Believers of His religion, emitting you and can deprive you of His Mercy due to your wicked deeds”.

18.  -The Jews and Christians say: We are sons of Allah and His loved ones. Say: Why then doth He chastise you for your sins? Nay, ye are but mortals of His creating. He forgiveth whom He will, and chastiseth whom He will. And Allah’s is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and unto Him is the journeying.

    Commentary

‘Ahibbaaa-‘uH – (His loved ones), it is plural of habib, which means “friend, fondling and caressed”.

The Jews and the Christians used to consider themselves noble than all other people. When they reached among the simple people of the Arab, they also accepted them generally as respectable. These so called superior people used to tell them their stories. At that time, when Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) Messenger of Allah Almighty came and told the Arabians their evil deeds, then they were weary. Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) frightened them from the punishment of Allah Almighty and said, “Now you cannot get respect until you do not obey Me”. Later, their scholars said, “You should tell these Sayings to your nation-fellow Arabs. Our dignity is very high”. Even they said, “We are sons of God, His beloved and chosen people”.

We have recited in Surah Al-Baqarah and then in Surah Aali-‘Imraan that the Jews used to say, “We shall not be given punishment of the Fire. And if that was, that would be only for a few days”. There they were replied, “Show that contract deed, in which it has been mentioned that you would be saved from the anguish”. In Surah Aali-‘Imraan it was described that “Those narratives have put them in deception, which have been included in the religion by themselves”. They have been responded in this verse as a reply of their haughtily saying so, “We are intimates and fondling of God”.

It has been indicated here, “If, your saying so (we are loved ones of God) is correct, then why are you punished in this world? Sometime you are ordered to kill one another, at another time you are fallen into plague. It is apparent that you are also mortals of His creating (humankind like others) and you fall too under the same principle (He forgiveth whom He will, and chastiseth whom He will), because the Sovereignty of the heavens, the earth and all that, which is between them, is of Allah Almighty only. No creature can postpone His Order and unto Him is the journeying of the entire creatures including human beings. Loved ones (servants) of Allah Almighty are only those persons, who do good works and ward off sins, evils and wrong deeds due to fear of His punishment. It is promise of Allah Almighty with them that they will not be entangled in any distress, grief or sadness on the Day of Resurrection.

 لَّقَدْ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ قُلْ فَمَن يَمْلِكُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيْـًٔا إِنْ أَرَادَ أَن يُهْلِكَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَوَأُمَّهُۥ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا وَلِلَّهِ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (17

17.  They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is but Messiah, son of Mary. Say: Who then can do aught against Allah, if He had willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? Allah’s is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He createth what He will. And Allah is Able to do all things.

    Commentary

Kafara – (disbelieved), it has been made from kufr, which means “not to believe in the correct, to deny that, which has been explained by the wisdom of unselfish people as true”.

False faith of some Christians has been described in this verse and that has been contradicted against the human sense. A sect of the Christians, which is called Ya’-quubia, has the same belief, that Allah has appeared in the world in the form of Prophet Christ (peace be upon Him). Common Christians use to say also such words, clear summary of which discloses the same meaning that the Messiah is the God. For instance; they say that Jesus Christ and God are not separate from each other. And they also say that “Allah (God) is One”. It is known from this description that Christ (peace be upon Him) is the God. Holy Qur’aan tells us in very clear words, “Say: He is Allah, the One! God, the eternally Besought of all! He begetteth not nor was begotten. And there is none comparable unto Him”. (Surah ‘Ikhlaas – Chapter 112). Allah Almighty is Separate from the entire and is Above the entire, and the entire are His creatures. He brings into being, to whom He wishes and discharges from the world, to whom He wills. The entire things and the humankind are in His Divine Power. Nothing is out of His Order.

It has been described that those people who make up such stories, from which it comes out that Messiah. son of Mary (peace be upon Them) is only God, are infidels. They did not understand correctly the Greatness and Dignity of Allah Almighty. Tell them, “Allah Almighty has created the heavens, the earth and their all things, and Messiah and His Mother, Mary (peace be upon Them) are also included into them. If He wishes to ruin and destroy Messiah and His Mother Mary (peace be upon Them), and the entire things of the earth, then there is none (individually or collectively), who has power to save anything or person out of them. To whom He will wish to be produced, that surely will be brought into being, and will be born in such a manner; as He (Allah Almighty) desires. And to whom He wills to destroy, surely that will be ruined. Nobody can save it.

15.  O People of the Scripture! Now hath Our Messenger come unto you, expounding unto you much of that which ye used to hide in the Scripture, and forgiving much. Now hath come unto you Light from Allah and a clear Scripture- 16.  Whereby Allah guideth him who seeketh His good pleasure unto paths of peace; and He bringeth them out of darkness unto Light by His decree, and guideth them unto a Straight Path.

    Commentary

Ya’-fuu- (forgives, lets go), it is from ‘ufw, which means “to remove, to dismiss”. 

Nuurun – (the Light), here it aims “Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), Messenger of Allah Almighty, Who is Remover of the darkness. 

Subul – (paths), it is plural of sabiil, which means ‘path, manner’. Subulassalaam – (paths of peace, in which no difficulty or hardship comes in front). 

Zulumaatu – (darkness), it is plural of zulumatun – here it aims “uncertainty, doubt, hesitation, suspicion”, which prevents a person from work.

                                                             

In the previous lessons, it was told about the Jews and the Christians that none of them fulfilled their covenants, which they made with Allah Almighty and His Messengers (peace be upon Them). But they changed many commandments, which were mentioned in their Scriptures i.e. Torah and Gospel. Now they do not know that what they have to do. Until they are in the world, they will be going astray.

It has been commanded in this verse that if the Jews and the Christians wish to arrange their lives, remain with peace and be saved from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, then they should listen to Our Message.

The Message is: “O the People of the Scripture! The Last Messenger of Allah Almighty; that is to say; Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has come unto you and brought the last Scripture of God Almighty i.e. Holy Qur’aan, in which there are many such commandments, which you have forgotten, and many of them, which you used to hide, have been disclosed clearly. And there are many such commandments, which were not obligatory and you have included them into your Scriptures, those have been abolished. And the paths of peace and safety have been opened for those people, who want to get good pleasure and willingness of Allah Almighty”. There are some more lessons also for the Muslims, so that they may reap full advantage from This Light.
