1 The Virtues of Surah Al-Ma'idah; When It was Revealed Surah to ...

All things in existence are Allah's property and
creation and He is able to do everything. He is
never asked about what He does with His power,
domain, justice and greatness so this refutes the
Christian creed, may Allah's continued curses be
upon them until the Day of Resurrection.
... وَاللّهُ‏ عَلَى آُل ِّ شَيْءٍ‏ قَدِیرٌ‏ ﴿١٧ ﴾
And Allah is able to do all things.
Refuting the People of the Book's Claim that they are Allah's
Children
Allah then refutes the Christians' and Jews' false claims and lies,
وَقَالَتِ‏ الْيَهُودُ‏ وَالن َّصَارَى نَحْنُ‏ أَبْنَاء اللّهِ‏ وَأَحِب َّاؤُُه ...
And the Jews and the Christians say, "We are the
children of Allah and His loved ones."
They claim: "We are the followers of Allah's
Prophets, who are His children, whom He takes
care of. He also loves us.''
The People of the Book claim in their Book that
Allah said to His servant Israil, "You are my
firstborn.''
But they explained this statement in an improper
manner and altered its meaning. Some of the
People of the Book who later became Muslims
refuted this false statement saying, "This
statement only indicates honor and respect, as is
common in their speech at that time.''
The Christians claim that `Isa said to them, "I will
go back to my father and your father,'' meaning,
my Lord and your Lord.
It is a fact that the Christians did not claim that
they too are Allah's sons as they claimed about
`Isa. Rather this statement by `Isa only meant to
indicate closeness with Allah.
