`Isa Rejects Shirk and Affirms Tawhid<br />

<strong>Al</strong>lah says;<br />

302<br />

وَإِذْ‏ قَالَ‏ اللّهُ‏ ...<br />

And (remember) when <strong>Al</strong>lah will say (on the Day <strong>of</strong><br />

Resurrection):<br />

<strong>Al</strong>lah will also speak <strong>to</strong> His servant and<br />

Messenger, `Isa son <strong>of</strong> Maryam, peace be upon<br />

him, saying <strong>to</strong> him on the Day <strong>of</strong> Resurrection in<br />

the presence <strong>of</strong> those who worshipped `Isa and<br />

his mother as gods besides <strong>Al</strong>lah,<br />

یَا عِيسَى ابْنَ‏ مَرْیَمَ‏ أَأَنتَ‏ قُلتَ‏ لِلن َّاسِ‏ ات َّخِذُونِي وَأُم ِّيَ‏ إِلَهَيْنِ‏ مِن دُو ‏ِن<br />

اللّهِ‏<br />

O `Isa, son <strong>of</strong> Maryam! Did you say un<strong>to</strong> men: `Worship<br />

me and my mother as two gods besides <strong>Al</strong>lah!'<br />

This is a threat and a warning <strong>to</strong> Christians,<br />

chastising them in public, as Qatadah and others<br />

said, and Qatadah mentioned this Ayah as<br />

evidence,<br />

هَذَا یَوْمُ‏ یَنفَعُ‏ الص َّادِقِينَ‏ صِدْقُهُمْ‏<br />

"This is a Day on which the truthful will<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>it from their truth.'' (5:119)<br />

<strong>Al</strong>lah's statement,<br />

...<br />

...<br />

قَالَ‏ سُبْحَانَكَ‏ مَا یَكُونُ‏ لِي أَنْ‏ أَقُولَ‏ مَا لَيْسَ‏ لِي بِحَ‏ ٍّق<br />

He will say: "Glory be <strong>to</strong> You! <strong>It</strong> <strong>was</strong> not for me <strong>to</strong> say<br />

what I had no right (<strong>to</strong> say)...<br />

contains <strong>Al</strong>lah's direction for `Isa <strong>to</strong> utter the<br />

perfect answer.<br />

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Hurayrah said,<br />

"`Isa will be taught his argument in reply <strong>to</strong> what<br />

وَإِذْ‏ قَالَ‏ اللّهُ‏ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ‏ مَرْيَمَ‏ أَأَنتَ‏ قُلتَ‏ him, <strong>Al</strong>lah will ask<br />
