Erasing the Accusation of Shirk

Khawarij believe that Sayyidnia Isa (peace be upon him) is dead and will not
rise, however the verse that I have just recited proves otherwise. Anyway,
that is a different subject from what we are discussing but I would be happy
to discuss that issue at another time.
Isa son of Mary was not humiliated by Allah
Allah has insulted and humiliated all that which has been worshipped
besides Him, however Allah has not criticized or humiliated Isa son of
Maryam in the following verse He has reassured him that he will not be
disrespected:
004.172 The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto Allah, nor will the
favoured angels. Whoso scorneth His service and is proud, all such will He
assemble unto Him.
A Question
A question may arise due to some verses of the Qur’an such as: Will Isa son
of Maryam, Sayyida Maryam and Uzayr (peace be upon them all) be the fuel
of the hell fire as the following verse says?
021.098 Lo! ye (idolaters) and that which ye worship beside Allah are fuel
of hell. Thereunto ye will come.
The obvious answer to this is: No. In this verse the Arabic word ‘Ma’ has
been used to describe that which was worshipped and ‘Ma’ is only used to
describe lifeless things (i.e., those things that have no soul, do not live and
die etc) for example, idols, therefore the verse just recited is not applicable
to Sayyidna Isa, Sayyida Maryam, Uzayr (peace be upon them all) or angels.
Only lifeless things will be the fuel of the hell fire as Allah Azawajul says in
the Qur’an:
021.101 Lo! those unto whom kindness hath gone forth before from Us, they
will be far removed from thence.
021.102 They will not hear the slightest sound thereof, while they abide in
that which their souls desire.
021.103 The Supreme Horror will not grieve them, and the angels will
welcome them, (saying): This is your Day which ye were promised;
