وَمُصَدِّقًا لِما بَينَ
يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوراةِ وَلِأُحِلَّ لَكُم بَعضَ الَّذي حُرِّمَ عَلَيكُم ۚ
وَجِئتُكُم بِآيَةٍ مِن رَبِّكُم فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعونِ50. إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَبّي وَرَبُّكُم
فَاعبُدوهُ ۗ هٰذا صِراطٌ مُستَقيمٌ51. |

50. Wa Musaddiqal—limaa bayna yadayya minat-Tawraati wa li-‘uhilla lakum ba’-zallazii hurrima ‘alaykum wa ji’-tu-- kum bi- ‘Aayatim-mir-Rabbi-kum, fatta-qUllaaha wa ‘atii-‘uun. 51. ‘InnAllaaha

50. “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51. “God is my Lord and
your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” |
Prophet Jesus (Peace be upon him) commanded to his nation, the children of Israel, “I confirm the Torah which was revealed upon Prophet Moses (Peace be upon him) before me. That was revealed from God and that is a true Scripture. Keeping its ordinary principles and commands firm, I shall make some changes in the instructions by the order of God, which will be suitable according to the present 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 them 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 to me many miracles. So keep your duty to God in accordance with the guidelines, illustrated by me and follow me”.
It is easily understood here that sobriety, abstinence and piety is hidden in the obedience of the Messenger (Peace be upon him). The Prophet (Peace be upon him) does never say that, what is not from God. He does never deliver self-fabricated order. Therefore, how it is possible that without obedience of the Messenger (Peace be upon him), the willingness and pleasure of God can be acquired.
Prophet Jesus (Peace be upon him) described that God 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 act for His devotion, you also must worship Him. God be praised upon His favors. Obeying His (God’s) Commandments and following me, (Peace be upon him) is the Straight Path.
This verse is also in continuity
of previous verses. Miraculous birth of Prophet Jesus Messiah (Peace be upon
him), his teachings and miracles are being described continuously. Aim of these
entire discussions is to produce the perception of God fearing, obedience of
the Messenger (ﷺ) and
worship of One True God, into the human beings. The mankind should learn to bow
only before God, remaining
apart from the adoration of other human beings. This is the Straight Path.
