110a.  When Allah will say: O Jesus son of Mary! Remember My favour unto Thee and unto Thy Mother. How I strengthened Thee with the Holy Spirit, so that Thou spakest unto mankind in the cradle as well as in the age of maturity;

Commentary

The importance of the Day of Resurrection was reminded in the previous lesson, and need of fearing from that Day and keeping up the preparedness for it was manifested in such a manner that the Messengers (peace be upon Them) will also be asked: What response did you receive from Your nations?

From today’s verse, the description regarding the Messengers, particularly Jesus (peace be upon Them) begins, because the Jews troubled Him (peace be upon Him) very much. Whereas, the Christians promoted His (peace be upon Him) rank so much that they use to say Him the son of God. So, His (peace be upon Him) virtues and peculiarities have been mentioned in this whole section, and informed about Him that He (peace be upon Him) was pure from all those badness, which the Jews used to publicize about Him (peace be upon Him).

After that, another question and its reply, which will be given by Him (peace be upon Him), has been described, so that the Christians may know and meditate that Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) is also a Servant of Allah Almighty like other people, and they should get advice from it and correct their deeds. The Messenger Jesus (peace be upon Him) will not be useful for them beside it. And their thinking “Jesus (peace be upon Him) has become expiation of our all sins and we shall never be punished” is entirely absurd and useless.

It is being commanded here, “Think about that time when Allah Almighty will say to Jesus (peace be upon Him): O Jesus son of Mary! Remember My favor unto You and Your Mother. I appointed the Holy Spirit especially for Your help, You spoke with the people in the cradle as well as during the age of maturity You preached and advised them good”.

Allah Almighty bestowed abundant miracles to Jesus (peace be upon Him). One important miracle from those, was that quite during the primary days of His life i.e. immediate after the birth (in the cradle), He talked with the people to answer their questions and criticism against His Mother “Mary” (peace be upon Them) by the permission of Allah Almighty.
