مَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلَّا ٱتِّبَاعَ ٱلظَّنِّ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًۢا (157 b

157b. They
have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; and they slew him not
for certain-
158. But
Allah took him up unto Himself. And Allaah is ever Mighty, Wise.
159. And
there is not one of the People of the Scripture but believe in him before his
death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them.

Commentary
‘Azzannu - (conjecture, guess without proof), such a
matter; base of which is not upon the fact, but is only a random guess.
Rafa-‘a - (took up), rafa’ means ‘to take up, to elevate’.
It
was declared in the previous lesson that the Jews and some other people who disagree concerning Prophet Jesus
(peace be upon him), are in doubt thereof. When the people entered in the house
of Jesus (peace be upon him) with the intention of his slaying, at that time, a
person entered first, then other people entered in the room. They saw only one
person there, whose face looked them entirely like Jesus (peace be upon him).
They killed him. After that, when they observed minutely, they began to say,
“His face is like Jesus (peace be upon him), but his hands and feet are like
our companion, who entered first before all of us”. One of them said, “If he
was not Jesus (peace be upon him), but was our companion, then where Jesus
(peace be upon him) has gone and if he was Jesus (peace be upon him), then
where our companion has gone?” In short, they remained in this doubt. Till
to-day, they have been publishing their own opinions. Nobody knows the reality.
They set up their own judgments with conjecture and presumption.
In
the next verse, the actual incident has been disclosed and explained in such
clear words that it is impossible to err in understanding. Allah Almighty says, “They
slew him not {Jesus (peace be upon him)} for certain, but it was happened that Allah
Almighty took him up unto Himself” and the face of their own
companion looked like the face of Jesus (peace be upon him), and they killed
him. Allah Almighty
is ever Mighty and Wise. He is Not incapable of doing anything. When there is a
need to do any object, that appears, whether anybody understands it or otherwise.
Then He commanded, “And there is not any one of the People of the Scripture but
believe in him {Jesus (peace be upon him)} before his/her death, and on the Day
of Resurrection he {Jesus (peace be upon him)} will be a witness against them.
