156. And
because of their disbelief and of their speaking against Mary a tremendous
calumny-
157a. And
because of their saying: We slew the Messsiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allaah’s
messenger; they slew him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto
them. And lo! Those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof.

Commentary
Shubbiha – (it appeared so), it has been derived from the word tashbiihun, origin of which is shabaahat. A word mushaabihat has also come out from the same
origin. Shabaahat means ‘matching of face with someone
else and two or more persons having alike (as the same) faces’. Tashbiih means ‘to make anything to suit
(tally) the other and to show that both have the same form’. Here it aims that
the face of another person appeared before them such as the face of Prophet
Jesus (peace be upon him).
Those
misdeeds of the Jews have been mentioned in this verse, which they committed
against Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him). At first they denied clearly to
believe and presented many curious conditions for it, likewise they did against
Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). They were shown many miracles and signs of
truth regarding the Prophets (peace be upon them), but they had not been moved.
Moreover, on the contrary they became Their {Prophets (peace be upon them)}
enemies. They accused Mary (Mother of Jesus (peace be upon them) of sin, which
was entirely a lie. She (peace be upon her) was surely a chaste woman. It is
apparent that their two bad habits were very old and deep i.e. insolence and
disobedience.
The
Jews used to obey the commandment only in the form when any power super to them
was standing ready to beat and punish them. At that time, they used to be
obedient by compulsion due to constraint of fear, but as soon as they used to
feel themselves free from any kind of threat, become at once as they were
earlier. According to their thought, they caught Prophet Jesus (peace be upon
him) and crucified, and then bragged, “We have slain Jesus (peace be upon
him)”. It was their very oppressive arrogance, but Holy Qur’aan has told very clearly that their claim
is wrong. They hanged and slew any other person in deception, who had the face
like Jesus (peace be upon him). Neither they crucified Jesus (peace be upon
him), nor killed. With effect from that time, till to date they have been
deceived and seized in doubts. Not only the Jews, but also some more people are
in doubt about the execution of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him), and their
all discourses in this case depend only on guess, opinion and thought.
