One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Dear Brother,

 

While reading I found below quotes.  Can you please explain me about it?

Al-Imran (The Family of Imran)

إِذْ قَالَ اللّهُ يَا عِيسَى إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَجَاعِلُ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوكَ فَوْقَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ثُمَّ إِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ فِيمَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ (3:55)

Topics discussed in this Verse: 

[Jesus:raised to Allah]

3:55 (Asad) Lo! God said: "O jesus! Verily, I shall cause thee to die, and shall exalt thee unto Me, and cleanse thee of [the presence of] those who are bent on denying the truth; and I shall place those who follow thee [far] above those who are bent on denying the truth, unto the Day of Resurrection. In the end, unto Me you all must return, and I shall judge between you with regard to all on which you were wont to differ. [45]

Answer:

 

Meaning aayah Jesus

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

To better understand the verse it is best read in context of the Verses revealed before and after it:

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imraan Verses 44-60:

44 This is part of the tidings of the things unseen which We reveal unto thee (O Prophet Mohamed (saws)) by inspiration; thou wast not with them when they cast lots with arrows as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary; nor wast thou with them when they disputed (the point)

45 Behold! The Angels said "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus the son of Mary held in honor in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah.”

46 "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity and he shall be (of the company) of the righteous."

47 She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth; when He hath decreed a plan He but saith to it `Be' and it is!”

48 "And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom the Law and the Gospel.”

49 "And (appoint him) as a Messenger to the Children of Israel (with this message): ‘I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord in that I make for you out of clay as it were the figure of a bird and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave; and I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by Allah's leave; and I declare to you what ye eat and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe.”

50 "(I have come to you) to attest the Law which was before me and to make lawful to you part of what was (before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear Allah and obey me.”

51 "It is Allah who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a way that is straight."

52 When Jesus found unbelief on their part, he said: "Who will be my helpers to (in the Cause of) Allah?" Said the Disciples: "We are Allah's helpers! We believe in Allah and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims.”

53 "O Our Lord! We believe in what Thou hast revealed and we follow the Messenger; then write us down among those who bear witness."

54 And (then unbelievers) plotted and planned and Allah too planned; and the best of planners is Allah.

55 Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who disbelieve (the Jews); I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject Faith to the Day of Resurrection; then shall ye all return unto Me and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.”

56 "As to those who reject faith I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter nor will they have anyone to help.”

57 "As to those who believe and work righteousness Allah will pay them (in full) their reward; but Allah loveth not those who do wrong.”

58 "This is what We rehearse unto thee of the Signs and the Message of Wisdom."

59 This similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam: He created him from dust then said to him: "Be" and he was.

60 The Truth (comes) from Allah alone; so be not of those who doubt.

 

When Christ Jesus (a.s.), son of Mary, declared his mission and invited the Children of Israel to worship none but their Lord and Creator Allah Subhanah Alone, the Jews declared disbelief in Jesus and the Mission on which he (a.s.) was sent on by his Lord.

 

Such was their animosity and enmity with Christ Jesus (a.s.) and his Divine Mission, that they invented and spread slander and falsehood against Jesus (a.s.) and when even that failed to stop Jesus (a.s.) fulfilling his Mission, the Jews finally plotted to kill Jesus (a.s.) and along with Jesus (a.s.) his Mission!

 

As a Mercy and as glad tidings from Allah Subhanah, the Lord Creator informed Jesus (a.s.) by inspiration: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who disbelieve (the Jews);…”

 

Because of the absolute and severe persecution of the believers and Christ Jesus (a.s.) himself at the hands of the ruling Romans in collaboration with the Jews, it might have seemed to Jesus (a.s.) that his Mission would not see the light of day and would be extinguished. Thus as news of the future and glad-tidings, the Lord Most Majestic made His Messenger Christ Jesus (a.s.) know through inspiration: “I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject Faith to the Day of Resurrection;…”

 

The people who claim faith in Christ Jesus (a.s.) are the Christians and the Muslims, and the people who truly follow the example of Jesus Christ (a.s.) are the Muslims. Thus Allah Subhanah did indeed fulfill His Promise unto Jesus (a.s.), for history is a witness that the Jews as a diaspora and nation have always been under the rule or protection of either the Christians or the Muslims.

 

Finally, Allah Subhanah Reveals unto His Noble Messenger Christ Jesus (a.s.) “then shall ye all return unto Me and I will Judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.” That is, the obvious fact that all of mankind will inevitably return at the end of time unto their Lord Creator for the Day of Judgment, and the All-Powerful All-Just Lord Alone will Judge with Justice regarding all the disputes that occurred amongst the peoples.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
