115. قَالَ ٱللَّهُ
إِنِّى مُنَزِّلُهَا عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بَعْدُ مِنكُمْ فَإِنِّىٓ
أُعَذِّبُهُۥ عَذَابًا لَّآ أُعَذِّبُهُۥٓ أَحَدًا مِّنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Another
discourse, which seems here, is that the purpose of the supplication by Jesus
(peace be upon Him) was that, when ready (for eating) sustenance will be
available for the people, they will remain engaged maximum time in the
Remembrance and Worship of Allah Almighty
heartily. Their dissensions and mutual disputes will come short. They will
become able to control their desires, and it will become easy for the people to
live like priests and monks. It was the actual reason of saying to the people
by Jesus (peace be upon Him) before supplication: Fear Allah, if you are true Believers. The
aim of warning the people in this way was: As you ask for such facilities and
comforts, so after that, the abstinence and piety of highest standard will be
claimed from you. Have you so much strong belief that when you will be spared
from labor of earning, will you not pass that time in immoral amusement,
gambols and games? Will you continue in close contact with the works of Allah’s Will every time instead of
those evil deeds?
In reply to above questions, they assured
Jesus (peace be upon Him) that after getting down the Table Spread
with Food from the heaven, they would dwell as thankful servants of Allah Almighty. After hearing
their answer, Jesus (peace be upon Him) supplicated and asked for the
Table Spread with Food from Allah
Almighty, He commanded as answer to the supplication: I shall
send the Table Spread with Food down. But after it, the person, who will
disbelieve, will not be pious and thankful to Me, surely I will punish him with
a punishment wherewith I shall not punish any of My creatures.
In the supplication of Jesus (peace be upon Him),
there is a request of two things - the Table Spread with Food and the
Sustenance. There are different opinions of the people regarding the Table
Spread of Food. Some people say: It was sent down by Allah Almighty, but many others
say: that was not sent down. However, the supplication regarding wideness in
the sustenance and easiness was accepted. That is to say; the person, who will
adapt lawful methods of earning, he will be given wideness in the income, but
there is a condition in it too, that the person, who will spend this income in
good works and lawfully, and will obey the commands of Allah Almighty, will find
freedom. But the wealthy misers and evildoers will be punished severely,
whereas the poor people will be saved from such punishment. The Jews and the
Christians particularly of that time were benefited due to the supplication.
The doors of the wealth were opened for the both nations in the world, although
the Jews suffered disgrace also along with the wealth due to the reason that
they disbelieved in Jesus (peace be upon Him).
The Christians were fortunate in getting wealth and
respect because they believed in Jesus (peace be upon Him). The warning of
Christ (peace be upon Him) did exist, they would have to remember it that the
sources of income, which have been made practicable for them. After earning the
wealth, if they would spend it in evil deeds and searching their greatness,
then it would be meant that it would be disbelief in God, which might be cause
of Allah’s wrath. Even if
they are not punished properly in the world, but they can never get rid of on
the Day of Resurrection.
Alas! The Christians became proud
due to the wealth and forgot that part of the supplication of Christ (peace be
upon Him), in which the disbelievers were threatened from the wrath.
