Al-Maaida (The Table)

Teachings of Jesus -Jesus was deified after his departure -Reward for the Faithful,

116. "And when Allah says: ' O' Jesus son of Mary! did you say to the people: 'Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah ?' He (Jesus) says: 'Glory be to You! It was not mine to utter what I had no right to (say). Had I said it, then You would have known it. You know whatever is in my self and I do not know what is in Your Self. Verily You are the Knower of all the unseen'."

Disgust of Jesus from His Followers' Idolatry!

This verse and a couple of verses next to it discuss about the word of Allah with Jesus (as) on the Day of Judgment. It says:

"And when Allah says: ' O' Jesus son of Mary! did you say to the people: 'Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah?' ..."

With a high respect, Jesus replies a few sentences in answer to this question.

1. At first he begins his expression with glorification of Allah from any partner and compeer, and says:

He (Jesus) says: ' Glory be to Your ..."

2. Then he continues saying that how he could say what was not appropriate to him.

"... It was not mine to utter what I had no right to say ..."

In fact, not only he negates this meaning from himself, but also he says that basically he has not such a right, and a statement like that does not apt to his rank and his situation at all.

3. Then he refers to the infinite knowledge of Allah, and, as his evidence, he says:

Had I said it, You would have known it. You know whatever is in my self; and I do not know what is in Your Self: Verily You are the Knower of all the unseen'."
