75.
The Messiah, son of Mary, was no other than a Messenger, Messengers
(the like of Whom) had passed away before Him. And His Mother was a saintly
woman. And they both used to eat (earthly) food. See how We make the
Revelations clear for them, and see how they are turned away!
76.
Say: Serve ye in place of Allaah
that which possesseth for you neither hurt nor use? Allaah It is Who is the Hearer, the Knower.
77.
Say: O People of the Scripture! Stress not in your religion other than
the truth, and follow not the vain desires of folk who erred of old and led
many astray, and erred from a right path.

Lesson
Siddii-qah – (Saintly woman), the highest
rank from the human beings, is of the Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon
them). These are Men (male). Second highest rank of the mankind is Sidiiq (Saint), Who understands the
truth immediately and clearly. A chaste woman can reach also this rank and she
is called Sidiiqah.
Correct affairs in respect of
Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) have been described in this verse. At first,
that He (peace be upon Him) was only a Messenger of Allaah Almighty, not more than it. Neither He (peace be upon Him) can
be God (Allaah Almighty), nor a
partner in His Divinity, and being a Messenger, is not an extraordinary matter.
Many Messengers and Prophets have passed away before Him (peace be upon Them). As
they were Mankind, likewise Jesus Christ is also a Mankind (peace be upon Them)
however, being a Messenger, His degree of dignity is higher than other human
beings. His mother was also a Mankind and Her rank is higher too than other
common people as She was a Siddiiqah
(Saintly Woman). Proof of Their being a mankind is that they both were necessitous
of taking food, so that they may maintain their lives. Allaah Almighty (God) is not needy of anything, and He says, “See how We make the Revelations clear for them”, even then see them - how
they are turned away. The person, who neither can provide
any gain, nor he is master of any detriment, nor he can hear and nor
understand, how can he be a worshipped. These all virtues are only of Allaah Almighty, so it is wrong and
useless to bow humbly in front of (or determine worshipped) any other than Allaah Almighty, because actually only
He is the God, the Hearer and the Knower.
Laa tagluu – (Do not stress), this word is
from guluu, which means ‘to overstep
bounds, to say or do more than the requirement’. ‘Ahwaaa-‘a – (the vain desires), it is plural of Hawaa, which means ‘vain and fabricated
desire’.
According to previous verses,
Jesus {Messiah (peace be upon Him)} says (himself): O Children of Israel!
Worship only Allaah Almighty Who is my
Lord and your Lord. Whoso ascribes partners unto Allaah Almighty, for him, He has forbidden Paradise. His abode is
the Fire. And for evildoers there will be no helpers.
At first, Allaah Almighty commands in these verses, “Say: O People of the
Scripture! Stress not in your religion other than the truth, and follow not the
vain desires of folk who erred of old and led many astray, and erred from a
right path”. It signifies toward Gospel, which forbids from ascribing partners
to Allaah Almighty. But after that, a
scholar of the Christians, named Paul, promoted worshipping of idols in his own
religion also, when he saw the Romans and the Greeks doing so. And they began
to say too their Messenger Jesus Christ (peace be upon him), son of God as the
Romans and Grecian used to say their demi-gods as sons of God. And they began
to state godhead virtues in Messiah (peace be upon him) also like those
demi-gods. Even that the religion of the Christians had become imitation of old
wrong religions.
Allaah Almighty has described here that they had erred of old (the Romans and the
Grecian) and led many astray, and erred from a right path. You should not do like
their deeds but follow correctly your own Scripture.
