Qasas al-Qur'an: The story of Jesus Ibn Maryam (second and last
episode)
Maulana Mufti Muhammad Shafi writes that Maida was descended
from the sky or not? The commentators differ in this regard, while the
majority of the Ummah are convinced of the descent. However, in the hadith
of Jami Tirmidhi, it is narrated from Hazrat Ammar bin Yasir that "Maidah
came down from the sky." It contained bread and meat. Allah
Ta'ala ordered not to cheat, nor store for the next day. But they betrayed
and collected and kept it for the next day, so their faces were mutilated and
made like monkeys and pigs. So, they were transformed into monkeys and
pigs. We pray to Allah, the wrath of Allah, the believer. It is not
proper for a servant to test Allah by making such requests and ask for
miracles. (Ma'arif al-Qur'an, 268/3).
TERRIBLE
CONSPIRACY AGAINST HAZRAT ISA (AS):
Maulana Hafzur Rahman Siwaharvi writes that Hazrat Isa (AS) did
not marry, nor did he build a house for his residence. They used to tell
the message of Allah from city to city, city and village and perform the duty
of calling and preaching the religion of truth. Wherever the night came,
they would spend the night in a state of destitution. Since God's
creations used to get physical and spiritual healing and satisfaction from his
holy person, therefore the common creation used to have great devotion and love
for him. The Jews not only resented his call to the truth, but his
increasing popularity among the people was beyond their tolerance. After
the failure of the jealous and hateful propaganda of the Jewish scholars,
priests, jurists, chiefs from the mihrab and pulpit, as an extreme step, they
prepared a conspiracy to enthrone Jesus Ibn Maryam by provoking the king of the
time.
IN THE
COURT OF THE ENEMY KING OF THE JEWS:
Due to the terrible situation of the Jews for the past few
centuries, the rule of the King of Judea "Herod" was barely a quarter
of the territory of his father, grandfather, and that too nominally. , while
the actual government and power rested with the pagan emperor, Caesar of Rome,
and on his orders, the governor or king of the majority of Judea was
appointed. Although the Jews hated the power of the idolatrous king as
their misfortune, but the fire of jealousy in their hearts against the Messiah
had blinded those Jews with a low mentality born of centuries of slavery.
However, one day their main representatives gathered and went to
the king's court and requested. "Great! This person is becoming
a serious threat to all of us. This person has made the creation his slave
and made the people irreligious by showing strange magic. Now he wants to
become the king of Israel by defeating Caesar and you on the basis of this
power of the people. It is very important to crush this growing mischief
immediately.”
THE EVIL
PLAN TO CRUCIFY HAZRAT ISA:
So after much negotiation, the king allowed them to arrest
Hazrat Masih (peace be upon him) and present him in the royal court. The
chiefs, jurists and priests of Bani Israel were very happy with this decree and
started congratulating each other with pride. It was decided among
themselves to wait with great secrecy for the special occasion when they would
be arrested in seclusion in such a way that the public would not be
informed.
On the one hand, the Jews were busy plotting to kill Hazrat
Masih (peace be upon him), while on the other hand, God was with His beloved
servant. In the Holy Qur'an Allah says: Translation: "And they
made a secret plan and Allah also made a secret plan, and Allah is one of the
best secret planners." I will lift you up to Myself and purify you from
(the company of) the disbelievers.” (Surah Aal-e-Imran, 54-55).
ADDRESS
TO THE DISCIPLES:
When Jesus (peace be upon him) came to know about the plots of
the Jews, he gathered his disciples in one place and said to them, "The
hostile activities of the chiefs and priests of the Children of Israel are not
hidden from you. Now the fragility of time and the hour of severe trials
and tests require that I ask you, who are those people among you who will stand
up against the flood of disbelief and denial and become supporters and helpers
of God's religion? Hearing this blessed saying of Hazrat Jesus, everyone
responded with enthusiasm and sincerity of faith. Translation: "We
are on the side of Allah and His helpers. We believe in Allah and you are
witnesses that we are the bearers of the commandment." O
Lord! We believe in the Book which You have sent down, and we are sincere
followers of Your Prophet, so write us among the believers" (Surah
Aal-e-Imran, 53, 52).
One day, the king's informants, who were busy monitoring Jesus,
reported to the chiefs and priests that at that time, Jesus Christ was in a
closed house with his disciples, apart from the crowd of people. As soon
as they got the information, they reached the spot and surrounded the house from
all sides. (Qasas al-Qur'an, Maulana Hufzur Rehman Siwaharvi, Vol. 4, page
353).
HAZRAT
ISA (AS) WAS TAKEN UP TO THE HEAVENS:
It is said in the tradition that the number of Jews who besieged
the house was four thousand. What was the number of disciples of
Jesus? Twelve, fourteen or seventeen? Who was the person whose face
was shaped like yours? There are different answers to these questions in
the books of commentators. We have chosen the incident recorded in Allamah
Ibn Kathir's Shahriyah Afaq Kitab, "Qasas al-Anbiyyah". It was
narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas that when Allah wanted to call you to Him, you
came home with your companions, twelve disciples were with you.
He said: Who among you is given my form, and then he is killed
in my place, then he will be with me in Paradise in my rank. So a young
man stood up and said that I am present. He sat him down and then asked,
but then the same person stood up and said that I am present. He (A.S.)
said, "Yes, you are the one." Then the young man's appearance became
like that of Jesus (A.S.). He gave him his kurta and ummah.
Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him) was taken up to
heaven from the bright house of the house. The
Jews took your image, i.e. someone who looked like you, and put him on the
cross. Who remained in prison for seven days? Allah says in the Holy
Quran. Translation: "And they said that we have killed Jesus Christ,
the son of Mary, who was the Messenger of God, although they neither killed
Jesus nor crucified him, but his So he was made (similar to Jesus), those who
differ about him. They are in doubt about their condition and they have no
absolute knowledge of it except for their followers and they certainly did not
kill Jesus, but Allah took them to Himself and Allah is Mighty and Wise. (Surah
Al-Nisa verses 158, 157). Ibn Jarir writes that when the Gospel was revealed to
Jesus, peace be upon him, he was thirty years old and then he remained on earth
for thirty-three years, after which he was taken up to heaven. went. While
the Gospel was revealed to you on the 18th of Ramadan. (Qassas Ibn Kathir,
page 652).
THE
DURATION OF PROPHETHOOD IS TWO AND A HALF YEARS:
Allama Ibn Saad writes that
it was narrated from Ibn Abbas that one thousand nine hundred years passed
between Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) and Jesus (peace be upon him). In
the period between these two prophets, a thousand prophets were sent to Bani
Israel, in addition, there is a gap of five hundred and seventy two (569) years
between the birth of Jesus and the birth of the Messenger of Allah.
Jesus was thirty-two years and six months old when he ascended
to heaven. Allah Ta'ala raised him soul and body. They are alive now,
will return to the world before the Day of Resurrection and will die like
everyone else. The name of the town of Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him) was
Nasirah, his companions were also called Nasaris, while the name of the
Christians also came from that. (Ibn Sa'd's classes, page 69/1).
HULIYA
MUBARAK:
How was the Huliya Mubarak
of Hazrat Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him)? In this regard, some
authentic hadiths are presented. The Prophet (PBUH) said. "On
the night of Ascension, I also saw Jesus (peace be upon him). He was of
medium height, medium body, reddish and white in color, and his hair was
straight. Also saw Salam, he was of medium height and very red and white in
complexion. So fresh and clean that it seemed that they had just taken a
bath. (Sahih Bukhari Hadith 3394).
It
was narrated from Abdullah bin Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may God bless
him and grant him peace, said. At night I was shown in a dream near the
Kaaba that there was a very handsome man of wheat color. He had long,
beautiful hair. They had combed their hair and water was dripping from
them, they were circumambulating Bait Allah with the support of two men. I
asked who is this sir? I was told that this is the Messiah son of Maryam
(peace be upon him). (Sahih Bukhari, 6999). It is narrated from Hazrat Abu
Huraira that the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace,
said, "I am closest to Jesus Ibn Maryam, peace be upon him, in this world
and in the Hereafter." There is no prophet between me and Jesus. All
Prophets are paternal brothers.” (Sahih Bukhari, 3443, 3442).
DESCENSION
AND DEATH NEAR THE DAY OF JUDGMENT:
Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA)
narrated that the Holy Prophet (SAW) said, “The Day of Judgment will not be
established until Jesus Ibn Maryam (AS) descends among you as a just ruler. They
will break the cross. They will kill the pigs and will not accept Jizya. In
that era, wealth will be so abundant that no one will accept it. (Sahih
Bukhari, 2476).
The
re-appearance of Jesus as the Ummah of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be
upon him, the leadership and guidance of the Muslim Ummah, the suppression of
the Dajjal temptation, the killing of pigs, the breaking of the cross, the end
of Gog and Magog, the cause of immorality, The establishment of peace and
order, the speech of Islam, and the nearness of the Day of Judgment are those
realities, which are mentioned in all the books of blessed hadiths. Hazrat
Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him) will live in this world for forty or
forty-five years. You will get married, you will have children, the word
of Islam will prevail in the whole world. Then Jesus will die. You
will be buried in Roozah Athar, where there is an empty grave. (Qasas
al-Anbiya, page 240).
THE
DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY:
Allah says: "Say that
Allah is one." The true God is without need, He is not the father of
anyone, nor the son of anyone, and there is no one like him. Hazrat Maryam was
also given the status of God. The Christians were also divided into three
sects like the Jews. The first was Kastoria, they called Jesus the son of
God.
The
second Jacobite, they said that Christ is the same God and it is in the form of
Christ that he came to the world. The third Malkaiya, they claimed that
the secret of unity is hidden in three, that is, the Father, the Son and Mary,
there were also two groups in this congregation. The second group used to
add Holy Spirit instead of Hazrat Maryam. Therefore, they used to
recognize Hazrat Masih (peace be upon him) as the mediator of the trinity. (Knowledge
of the Qur'an, 618/2). In the Holy Qur'an, the Almighty says, translation:
"O People of the Book, do not exceed the limit in your religion and do not
say anything about Allah except the truth." Christ, the son of
Maryam, was the Messenger of Allah and His Messenger, and refrain from saying
three Gods. This is better for you. Allah is the only God and He is
pure that He has children, whatever is in the heavens and the earth belongs to
Him, and Allah is the Creator.” (Surat al-Nisa, 171).
Another place is the divine decree. "And they say that Allah has a son. You speak very evil things." With this (invention) the heavens are about to burst and the earth will split and the mountains will crumble and they are sitting to prove the children of Allah and it is not worthy of Allah to make anyone a son. All people, who are in the heavens and the earth, will come before Allah as servants.'' (Surah Maryam, 88 to 93).
