In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammar
Surat Al-Ma'idah
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The day God will gather the messengers and say: What did you answer?
They said we have no knowledge
You are the Knower of the unseen
And they warned of the day when God will gather the messengers and say:
What did your nations answer you with?
When you called them to unify and acknowledge it
They said, “We have no knowledge except knowledge that you know better than us.”
It is not hidden from you that we have knowledge of this
There is nothing else about the hidden and obvious sciences
When God said, O Jesus, son of Mary
Remember My blessing upon you and upon your mother
Since I have given you the Holy Spirit
People spoke in the cradle and in old age
And when I taught you the Book, the Wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel
And when you were created from clay like the appearance of a bird, with my permission
So you blow into it
So you will be a bird, with my permission
And the blind and the lepers will be healed, by my permission
When death comes out with my permission
And when I spared the children of Israel from you
When I came to them with clear proofs
Those of them who disbelieved said:
This is nothing but obvious magic
When God said, O Jesus
I remember the hands of you and your mother
I helped you with Gabriel
If you speak to people in your cradle or old age
Remember also My blessing upon you when I taught you calligraphy
And understanding the meanings of the Torah and the Gospel
When you make an image of a bird out of clay
Help me with that and let me know about it
It blows into the body
So the form and image will be like a bird, with my permission
It heals the blind who cannot see anything
And the leper, with my permission
And remember also My blessing upon you by protecting the children of Israel from you
They were about to kill you because you brought them miraculous evidence of your prophecy
Those who denied your prophecy said:
This is nothing but magic
It is clear to those who see it and look at it that it is magic that has no reality
And when I inspired the disciples to believe in Me and My Messenger
They said, “We believe and bear witness that we are Muslims.”
And remember also, O Jesus, when you were cast into the hearts of the disciples
If they believe in me and my Messenger Jesus
They said: We have believed what you commanded us
And bear witness that we are submissive to you in humiliation
Listeners and obedient to your command
When the disciples said, O Jesus, son of Mary
Can your Lord come down to us?
To send down to us a table from heaven
He said, “Fear God if you are believers.”
When the disciples said to Jesus bin Maryam
Will your Lord respond, Jesus?
If you ask Him to send down to us a table from heaven
Jesus said, “Watch God, people.”
Fear that God will punish you for saying this
If you believe me in what I promise you
They said, “We want to eat from it and have peace of mind in our hearts.”
We know that you have told us the truth and we will be witnesses to it
The disciples said: We only said that
We asked you to ask our Lord for us so that we may eat from the table
We know with certainty His power over everything
Our hearts dwell and rest on His oneness and His ability to do everything He wills and wills
We know that you did not lie to us when you said that you are a messenger sent to God
And we will be among those at the table who bear witness that God sent it down
An argument for Himself against us regarding His Oneness and His ability to do whatever He wills
And thank you for your sincerity in your prophecy
Jesus, son of Mary, said: Oh God, our Lord, send down to us a table
A table from heaven will be a feast for us
You will be a feast for us, for the first and for the last, and a sign from You
And provide for us, and You are the best of providers
Jesus said: Oh God, our Lord, send down to us a table from heaven
It will be a feast for us to worship our Lord on the day it is revealed
We pray for him in it for those of us alive today and those of us who come after us
And a sign and proof from You, O Lord, upon Your servants in Your Oneness
And in my sincerity that I am a messenger, and give us of your gifts
O my Lord, you are the best of those who give and the most generous of those who favor
Because he does not enter into his giving or distress
God said, “I will impose it upon you, and whoever among you disbelieves after that, I will punish him with a punishment that I will not punish any of the worlds.”
God said, “I will present it to you, O disciples.”
So whoever denies after it has been revealed to you, my message is to him
He denies the prophecy of the Prophet Jesus, may God bless him and grant him peace
I will torture him with a torment that I would not torture anyone from the world of his time
So the people did so, and they denied and disbelieved after it was revealed to them in what was mentioned to us
They were tortured, as we have heard, by turning them into monkeys and pigs
And when God said, “O Jesus, son of Mary, did you tell the people that they should take me and my mother as gods besides God?”
He said, Glory be to You, it is not for me to say what I have no right to say. If I said it, then I knew it
You know what is in my soul, but I do not know what is in your soul. Indeed, you are the Knower of the unseen
He said that to Jesus when he brought him up to him. Did you say to the people, “Take me and my mother as deities that you worship instead of God?”
Jesus said, “It is an honor for you, O my Lord, and a great honor for me to do that or speak it.”
It is not for me to say that because I am a created slave and my mother is your slave
How can the servant and the female slave have lordship in supplication?
If you said it, then you taught him that nothing is hidden from you, and you know that I did not say that nor command them to do so
O my Lord, you are not hidden from what I have concealed in my soul, which I have not spoken or revealed with my inner being
So what about what you have spoken and revealed to me, while I do not know what you have hidden from me and have not revealed to me?
You are the One who knows the secrets of matters that only you know and that no one else knows
I did not say to them except what you commanded me to do: to worship God, my Lord and your Lord, and I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them
When you took me to death, you were the watcher over them and you are a witness over everything
I only said to them what you commanded me to say, which is to worship God, my Lord and your Lord
I was watching what they were doing while I was among them, witnessing them and their actions and words
When you took me to you, you were their guardian instead of me, and you bear witness to everything, because nothing is hidden from you
If you torture them, they are your servants, and if you forgive them, then you are the Mighty, the Wise
If those who said this article are tormented, then they are submitting to you and not abstaining from what you wanted for them
They will not protect themselves from harm, and if you forgive them by guiding them to repentance, then you will protect them
For you are the Mighty in taking revenge on those who want to take revenge on him, the Wise in guiding those of his creation to repentance and granting success to those of them who are successful on the path to salvation.
God said, “This is a day on which the truthful will benefit the truthful. They will have Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein forever.”
May God be pleased with them and they be pleased with him, that great victory
God said to Isa this useful saying on a day that will benefit the truthful. Their honesty will have gardens beneath which rivers flow in the Hereafter, as a reward for them from God for their honesty.
We will always remain in Paradise
May God be pleased with these honest people
And they were satisfied with God in His fulfillment of what He promised them for their obedience of His great reward. This which He gave them is the great reward.
To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them, and He has power over all things
To God, O supporters, belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is in it, without Jesus, without his mother, and without all who are in the heavens and who are on the earth, and He has power over all things.
He is not unable to do anything he wanted because his ability is not similar to his ability
