Jesus, a sign for the Hour

When Mary’s son Jesus is quoted as an example, your people raise a clamor at
it,[57] and say: "Are Our gods better or is he?" They cite this to you merely to
provoke you. They are but a quarrelsome people.[58] He (Jesus) was no more than
a mortal whom We favored and made an example to the Children of Israel.[59] Had it
been Our will, We could create angels from you to succeed you in the earth.[60] He
(Jesus) is, in fact, a sign for the coming of the Hour of Doom. Therefore, have no
doubt about its coming, follow me; this is the Right Way.[61] Let not Satan mislead
you, for he is your open enemy.[62] When Jesus came with clear signs, he stated: "I
have brought you wisdom, and to clarify some of those things about which you have
disputes: so fear Allah and obey me.[63] Surely it is Allah Who is my Lord and your
Lord, so worship Him. This is the Right Way."[64] In spite of these teachings, the
factions disagreed among themselves; so woe to the wrongdoers from the
punishment of a painful Day.[65] Are they waiting for the Hour of Doom that it should
come on them all of a sudden, without warning?[66] On that Day, even friends will
become enemies to one another with the exception of the righteous people.[67]

"O My devotees! Today you have nothing to fear or to regret,"[68] it will be said to
those who believed in Our revelations and became Muslims,[69] "Enter paradise, you
and your spouses; you will be made happy."

19 MARY - MARY
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

19:[27-34]

Carrying the baby, she came back to her people. They said: "O Mary! You have
brought something hard to believe![27] O sister (a woman from the noble family) of
Haroon! Your father was not a bad man nor your mother an unchaste woman."[28] In
response she merely pointed towards the baby. They said: "How can we talk to a
babe in the cradle?"[29] Whereupon the baby spoke out: "I am indeed a servant of
Allah. He has given me the Book and made me a Prophet.[30] His blessing is with
me wherever I go. He has commanded me to establish Salah and give Zakah as long
as I shall live.[31] He has exhorted me to honor my mother and has not made me
domineering, hard to deal with.[32] Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I
shall die and the Day I shall be raised to life again."[33] Such was Jesus the son of
Mary, and this is the True statement about him concerning which they are in
doubt.[34] It is not befitting to the majesty of Allah that He Himself should beget a son! He is
far above this; for when He decrees a matter He need only say: "Be" and it is.[35]
Jesus declared, Verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord: therefore serve Him. This is the
Right Way.[36]
3 A'LAY IMRAN – THE HOUSE OF IMRAN
In the name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Merciful

Allah said: "O Jesus! I am going to recall you (from your mission) and raise you up to
Myself. I will clean you of those who rejected you and exalt your followers above the
unbelievers until the Day of Resurrection; then to Me shall be your return and I shall
judge those matters in which you have been disputing.[55] Those who are
unbelievers will be punished with severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter;
they shall have no helpers.[56]

5 AL-MA’IDAH – THE TABLE

In the name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Merciful

SECTION: 15
On the Day of Resurrection when Allah gathers the Messengers and asks: "What
response were you given from your addressees?" They will say: "We have no
knowledge, only You have all the knowledge of the unseen."[109] Then Allah will
ask: "O Jesus son of Mary! Recall my favor upon you and to your mother, how I
strengthened you with the Holy Spirit, so you could speak to the people in cradle and
in old age, how I taught you the Book, Wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel. How you
were able to make the figure of a bird out of a clay, by My permission, how you
breathed into it and changed it into a real bird, by My permission. How you could heal
the born-blind and the lepers by My permission. How you could bring the dead body
back to life by My permission. How I protected you from the violence of the Children
of Israel when you came to them with clear signs and the unbelievers among them
said: "This is nothing but a clear sorcery."[110] Remember, when I inspired the
disciples to have faith in Me and My Messenger and they said: ‘We believe and bear
witness that we have become Muslims."[111] How when the disciples asked: "O
Jesus, son of Mary! Can your Lord send down to us from heaven a table spread with
food?" And you said: "Have fear of Allah if you are true believers."[112] They said:
"We only wish to eat thereof to satisfy our hearts and to know that you have indeed
told us the truth, and that we bear witness to it."[113] Jesus, son of Mary said: "O
Allah, our Lord! Send us from heaven a table spread with food that it may mark a
feast, one of a kind for those before us and for those after us, as a sign from You;
and provide us our sustenance, You are the best Sustainer."[114] Allah responded: "I
shall send it down to you, but if any of you disbelieve after that, I shall punish him
with a torment which I have never inflicted on anyone in the worlds."[115] 5:[109-115]

After reminding him of these favors, Allah will say: "O Jesus, son of Mary, Did you
ever say to the people, "worship me and my mother as gods beside Allah?" He will
answer: "Glory to You! How could I say what I had no right to say? If I had ever said
so, you would have certainly known it. You know what is in my heart, but I know not
what is in Yours; for You have full knowledge of all the unseen.[116] I never said
anything other than what You commanded me to say, that is to worship Allah, Who is
my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness over them as long as I remained among
them; but when You called me off, You were the Watcher over them and You are a
Witness to everything.[117] If You punish them, they surely are Your servants; and if
You forgive them, You are Mighty, Wise."[118] Allah will say: "This is the day on
which the truthful will profit from their truth; they shall have gardens beneath which
rivers flow to live therein forever. Allah is well-pleased with them and they are
pleased with Him. This is the mighty achievement."[119] To Allah belongs the
sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, and He has power
over everything.[120] 5:[116-120]
