Divine Inspiration concerning Jesus (علیہ السلام) (L-389)

إِذ قالَتِ المَلائِكَةُ
يا مَريَمُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكِ بِكَلِمَةٍ مِنهُ اسمُهُ المَسيحُ عيسَى
ابنُ مَريَمَ وَجيهًا فِي الدُّنيا وَالآخِرَةِ وَمِنَ المُقَرَّبينَ45. وَيُكَلِّمُ النّاسَ فِي المَهدِ
وَكَهلًا وَمِنَ الصّالِحينَ46. |

45. ‘Iz qaalatil-mallaaa-‘ikatu yaa-Maryamu ‘innAllaaha yu-bashshiruki bi-Kalimatim-min-hus-muhul-Masiihu ‘Iisabnu-Maryama wajiihan- fid-dunyaa wal-‘Aakhirati wa minal- Mu-qarrabiin. 46. Wa
yukalli-munnaasa fil-mahdi wa kahlanw-wa
minas-saalihiin. |

45. The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46. He will speak to the
people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” |
Kalimatin – (a Word), according to Holy Qur’an and Sayings of the Last Messenger, Muhammad (ﷺ) Jesus (Peace be upon him) has been named as KalimatUllaah. As the title of Angel Gabriel (Peace be upon him) is Ruuhul Qudus, just like this KalimatUllaah is the title of Messenger Jesus (Peace be upon him). Even in this manner, the Words of God are uncountable, but Jesus (Peace be upon him) is specifically called KalimatUllah for the reason that his birth was without father, only by the Command of God, contrary to the custom. The matter, which will be contrary to reason, custom and rules, will be attributed directly to God.
‘Al-Masiihu – (the Messiah), this Hebrew word is a form of the word ‘Maasheikh or ‘Mashiihaa, which means, “auspicious, sacred, blessed, happy and august” etc. Prophet Jesus (Peace be upon him) is remembered usually with this name.
‘Iisabnu-Maryama – (it is the second name of Messiah), ‘Iisaa has come out from the Hebrew word ‘Iishuu’, which means Sayyid (A lord, prince, chieftain, a descendant). Here this matter needs close attention that Holy Qur’an has kept particularly the word “’ibni-Maryam” as a part of the name of ‘Iisaa (Jesus) (Peace be upon him). Therefore, his (Peace be upon him) lineage will remain always towards his mother, Mary (Peace be upon her). Like this, to disclose the greatness of Mary (Peace be upon her), her name has been made a part of the name of Jesus (Peace be upon him) for ever.
When glad tidings of Jesus (Peace
be upon him) was given to Mary (Peace be upon her), then it was possible that
she would have confused that, “How the people will accept him (Jesus) without
father? In addition, they will calumniate in various ways. How would I be able
to announce about my chastity? God
explained, “O Mary! Be satisfied, I shall bestow him great honor; not only in
the Hereafter but also in this world and prove that their entire charges are
false. Your son will be most polite and righteous of higher degree. He will be
still an infant that talk to the people (in the cradle). You will have nothing
to speak about your chastity and acquittal; you would have to say only, “I have
a fast today, cannot speak, the child (in his cradle) will speak himself unto
you, and even during his manhood he will describe the people about God”.
