Quran Chapter 5 – 114 (Pt-7, Stg-2) (L-758) - درس قرآن 

Supplication of Jesus

Surah MAAA-‘IDAH (The Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

114. قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ ٱللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَآ أَنزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَآئِدَةً مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيدًا لِّأَوَّلِنَا وَءَاخِرِنَا وَءَايَةً مِّنكَ ۖ وَٱرْزُقْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ
 
114.  Jesus, son of Mary, said: O Allah, Lord of us! Send down for us a Table Spread with Food from Heaven, that it may be a feast for us, for the first of us and for the last of us, and a sign from Thee. And give us sustenance, for indeed Thou art the Best of Sustainers.
114.  Qaala  ‘Iisabnu-  Marya-mAllaahumma  Rabbanaaa  ‘anzil  ‘alaynaa  Maaa-‘idatam-minas-Samaaa-‘i  takuunu  lanaa  ‘iidalli-  ‘awwa-linaa  wa  ‘aakhirinaa  wa  ‘Aayatam-minKa  war-zuqnaa  wa  ‘Anta  Khay-rur-Raaziqiin.

Commentary

Maaa-‘idatan – (the Table Spread with Food), this word indicates towards the wish of the companions of Jesus (peace be upon Him), that the Table Spread with prepared Food should be sent down from Heaven by Allah Almighty and they should be given everything without any struggle.

As per previous verse, when the disciples, who believed in Christ (peace be upon Him) said: We do not want to test Allah Almighty, but we request only for His particular Kindness, so that we may be grateful to Him freely and engage in His worship wholeheartedly and obey His commands and Your truth may be quite evident upon us and we may see its sign clearly.

Then Jesus (peace be upon Him) supplicated: Our Lord! Only You are Able to fulfill and provide our all requirements. Kindly do not keep us necessitous of struggle in getting needful things but send down for us a Table Spread with Food from the Heaven, that it may be a feast and pleasure for us, for the first of us and for the last of us, and an open sign of Your Kindness may come in our hands. You are the Best of the Sustainers for all of us and certainly the sustenance comes from You in every condition. You can change the way of providing the sustenance without any delay. Everything is in Your Power. Neither anyone can be equal to You in providing food and sustenance, nor can act like You, whether someone is much liberal or wealthy.  

It is clear that this supplication of Jesus (peace be upon Him) was for providing facility to the companions so that they may thank Allah Almighty and obey His Commands whole the time.
