Lesson
Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon him)
commanded his nation, the children of Israel: I have come and confirm Torah
which was revealed upon Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) before me. That was
revealed from God Almighty and that is a true Scripture. Keeping its ordinary
principles and commands as it is, I shall make some changes in the instructions
by the order of Allah Almighty, which will be suitable according to the current
times. As there was some severity in a few instructions, that will be lifted
now. The things, which were made forbidden as punishment due to your wicked
deeds, I shall make their use lawful for you. You can use them without any
hesitation, risk and fear. And I have come towards you with a sign of
Prophet-hood and Messenger-hood from your Lord. He has bestowed on me many
miracles. So, keep your duty to God Almighty in accord with the guidelines,
illustrated by me and follow me”.
It is easily understood here that sobriety,
abstinence and piety are hidden in the obedience of the Messenger (peace be
upon him). Any Prophet (peace be upon him) never says that, what is not from God
Almighty. He never delivers any self-invented command. Therefore, how it is
possible that without obedience of the Messenger (peace be upon him), the
willingness and pleasure of Allah Almighty can be acquired.
Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) described
that Allah Almighty is my Lord; as well as yours’ too. My relationship with Him
is not as a son and father. I am His servant and He is my God (worshipped).
Therefore, as I perform for His devotion, you should also worship Him. Allah
Almighty be praised upon His favors. Obedience of His (God’s) Revelations and imitating
me, (peace be upon him) is the Straight Path.
This verse is also in continuity of the previous
verses. Miraculous birth of Prophet Jesus Messiah (peace be upon him), his
teachings and miracles are being described continuously. Aim from this entire
discussion is to produce the perception of God fearing, obedience of the
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him) and
worship of True and One God into the human beings. The mankind should learn to
bow only before Allah Almighty; remaining apart from the worship of other creatures.
This is the Straight Path.
