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
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
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 Allahs Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.

well wisher in Islam,
