Lesson
‘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 the house of Jesus
(peace be upon him) with the intention of his slaughtering, at that time, a
person entered first, then other people entered 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. Allaah
Almighty says, “They slew him not {Jesus (peace be upon him)} for certain, but
it was happened that Allaah 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. Allaah 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 not. Then He commanded, “And there is not 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.
