was a saintly woman. And <strong>the</strong>y both used to eat (earthly) food. See how We<br />
make <strong>the</strong> revelations clear for <strong>the</strong>m, and see how <strong>the</strong>y are turned away!<br />
009.030 And <strong>the</strong> Jews say: Ezra is <strong>the</strong> son <strong>of</strong> Allah, and <strong>the</strong> Christians say:<br />
The Messiah is <strong>the</strong> son <strong>of</strong> Allah. That is <strong>the</strong>ir saying with <strong>the</strong>ir mouths. They<br />
imitate <strong>the</strong> saying <strong>of</strong> those who disbelieved <strong>of</strong> old. Allah (Himself) fighteth<br />
against <strong>the</strong>m. How perverse are <strong>the</strong>y!<br />
There you are! These verses clearly speak <strong>of</strong> those deceased pious who were<br />
worshipped by <strong>the</strong> people <strong>of</strong> Makkah! Will you now deny <strong>the</strong>se and say <strong>the</strong>y<br />
were idols! Also, in <strong>the</strong> following verses that you mentioned earlier, you<br />
said that that which was worshipped besides Allah will be <strong>the</strong> fuel <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hell<br />
fire, so does this mean that Sayyidna Isa ( peace be upon him), Sayyida<br />
Maryam and Uzayr will be <strong>the</strong> fuel <strong>of</strong> hell fire?<br />
021.098 Lo! ye (idolaters) and that which ye worship beside Allah are fuel<br />
<strong>of</strong> hell. Thereunto ye will come.<br />
021.099 If <strong>the</strong>se had been gods <strong>the</strong>y would not have come thi<strong>the</strong>r, but all<br />
will abide <strong>the</strong>rein.<br />
Qadhi: You have said that <strong>the</strong> poly<strong>the</strong>ists <strong>of</strong> Makkah used to worship Isa<br />
(peace be upon him) however this is untrue. When Muhammad (may Allah<br />
bless him and grant him peace) mentioned Isa ( peace be upon him) to <strong>the</strong><br />
poly<strong>the</strong>ists, <strong>the</strong>y laughed and claimed <strong>the</strong>ir idols were better (I seek shelter<br />
in Allah!) as Allah Almighty says in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an:<br />
043.057 And when <strong>the</strong> son <strong>of</strong> Mary is quoted as an example, behold! <strong>the</strong><br />
folk laugh out,<br />
043.058 And say: Are our gods better, or is he ? They raise not <strong>the</strong><br />
objection save for argument. Nay! but <strong>the</strong>y are a contentious folk.<br />
These verses prove that <strong>the</strong> poly<strong>the</strong>ists <strong>of</strong> Makkah could have not possibly<br />
have worshipped Isa son <strong>of</strong> Maryam as <strong>the</strong>y would laugh just hearing his<br />
name as <strong>the</strong>y denied him. So how could <strong>the</strong>y worship him if <strong>the</strong>y did not<br />
believe him or give him any importance?<br />
