![]() ![]() They make it clear that Jesus, peace be upon him, did not say to his people anything except what God had commanded him to say i.e., Serve God, my Lord and your Lord. The very last verse of Al-Mai’dah bear a special significance where they deal with Jesus and his mother as being worshipped by their people. These are the verses in which the Qur’an makes references as to how the life of Jesus with his people ended. Serve my Lord and your Lord, and I was a witness over them so long as I was with them, but when Thou didst cause me to die Thou wast the Watcher over them. I said to them naught save as Thou didst command me. Surely Thou art the great Knower of the unseen. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy mind. If I had said it, Thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thirdly, in the chapter of `Al-Ma’idah God says:Īnd when God will say: O Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides God?

Then to Me is your return, so I shall decide between you concerning that wherein you differ. When God said, `O Jesus, I will cause thee to die and exalt thee in My presence and clear thee of those who disbelieve and make those who follow thee above those who disbelieve to the day of Resurrection. And they (the Jews) planned and God (also) planned. Our Lord, we believe in that which Thou hast revealed and we follow the Messenger, so write us down with those who bear witness. We believe in God, and bear thou witness that we are submitting ones (the Arabic word used in the text is Muslims). First, God says in the chapter of `Al-Imran:īut when Jesus perceived disbelief on their part, he said “Who will be my helpers in God’s way?” The disciples said: We are God’s helpers. In three chapters the Holy Qur’an deals with the question of Jesus’ end. His Eminence Shaikh Mahmoud Shaltout – Rector of Al-Azhar University
