Lesson
Purpose to reveal this verse is that a group
of Christians from Najraan came to Messenger of Allah (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him). These people were convinced about
godhead of Jesus (peace be upon him). They used to say him “son of God” (let us
flee to God) and believed in trinity. When the conversation began, Messenger of
Allah, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) proved that
Jesus (peace be upon him) was a mankind and servant of God Almighty. Allah
Almighty is pure from it that He is nourished in the womb of any woman, and
after birth He eats and drinks like common human being, (I seek shelter in
Allah Almighty from Satan the outcast). Messenger of Islam (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) described that the belief of Christians, in
which they say, “Jesus (peace be upon him) was hanged and died restlessly is
baseless (let us flee to God).
Last Messenger of God (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) said, “you do not know that ‘Allaahu laaa
‘ilaaha ‘illaa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyuum (Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal), He can
never die, He bestowed body to the entire creatures. Opposite to Him; Jesus
(peace be upon him) will certainly die, and it has been cleared that; how can anyone
keep up other creature who cannot keep up his own existence?
Listening to it, they all were silent. Then
Messenger of God (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said, “if you
have still any doubt then come, let us come out bringing our children (yours’
and ours’) and supplicate from God Almighty, “curse upon the liar”. They
requested that they would reply after consultation with one another.
Accordingly, they consulted among themselves that, “this person is Messenger of
God (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), if we shall oppose him in
this manner, the wrath of God will break in upon us. So, it is better for us to
go back to our homes”. Therefore, they went back to Najraan.
‘Alif-Laaam-Miiim – (these kinds of verse are short), it was explained in Surah AL-BAQARAH, Chapter
– 2, Verse # – 1, section -1). Saying something certainly about its meaning is
difficult. The scholars have explained its different meanings. Well-known saying
is that ‘Alif-Laaam-Miiim is substance of ‘Ana-Allaahu
‘a’-lamu (I, Allah; am the best Knower). In short, God Almighty has
rejected the beliefs of the Christians in above-mentioned verse. Their
following three Articles of Faith were famous: (let us flee to God)
1. Trinity (with the union of God, Jesus and Holy Spirit; it becomes
God).
2. Jesus (peace be upon him) is God. He has come in the form of
humankind.
3. Jesus (peace be upon him) is son of God.
The words ‘Allaahu laaa ‘ilaaha ‘illaa Huu vitiated the first article of the faith. Then the words Hayyul-Qayyuum proved that the second and the third articles of the faith are
wrong also, because, Jesus (peace be upon him) was born from the womb of a
woman. As though, he (peace be upon him) was indigent of his mother for his
birth. Moreover, while transitory is also for him (peace be upon him), then he
(peace be upon him) cannot be Qayyuum (the Eternal), so how can he
(peace be upon him) be Allah (God) Almighty?
