Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden?

Lesson
It is a promise of wideness in the sustenance for the believers (the
Christians) of Jesus (peace be upon Him). But those persons will be punished
very severely, who spend in disobedience of Allaah
Almighty. This promise of wideness in the income was fulfilled, but the
Christians did not spend their wealth in accordance with the commands of Allaah Almighty. Moreover, they spent it
for the purpose of immoral luxury, gambols and games. For making them
acquainted with an event of the Day of Resurrection, it has been described in
this section that an inquiry will be repeated from the Messenger Jesus (peace
be upon Him) due to His nation. The aim is that they should give up rebellion
behavior and wickedness; otherwise nobody will be able to save them from the
wrath of Allaah Almighty.
It is being commanded: Listen by opening your ears, Allaah Almighty will ask Jesus (peace be upon Him), “Did you say to
your nation: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allaah and worship us? Jesus (peace be upon Him) will say
humbly: Good and Pure from all defects - Allaah! It did not
befit me to utter that to which I had no right. How can it be so from me
whether I am Your Servant and Messenger?
After that, Jesus (peace be upon Him)
requested to Allaah Almighty: If I had ever
said it, then certainly You would have known it, because You know very well
about everything and nothing is out from Your Knowledge. Then how can it be
possible that You would not have known that I would have spoken such a false
and impure word? I had never thought in such a manner, otherwise You had known
that also, because You are the Knower of entire Open and Hidden Things, and even
that Your Secrets can never come in to my knowledge, nor can I think about them.
Actually the Knowledge of Hidden Things is only Yours Excellence, because Hidden
is that, which is Invisible for the mankind but all is Visible to You.
Jesus (peace be upon Him) said: My Lord! While You
bestowed upon me a higher Dignity of the Messenger, then how could such word
come out from my mouth, in which there was insolence of You and proof that You
are needy of any supporter (May God forbid). It is like finding a fault in to
You, if anyone considers that You are needy of any helper, whereas You are Pure
from all kinds of defects and faults. So Jesus (peace be upon Him) used the
word Sub-haanaKa (Glory be to
Thee) in the beginning of his answer – and then said: Being a Messenger, it did
not befit me to utter that I and my mother should be taken for two gods beside Allaah and (let us flee to Allaah) You are not sufficient to be God.
In this part of the verse Jesus (peace be upon Him) said: Only You, are the
Knower of Things Hidden. You know my open and secrets. I produce Your Knowledge
as my witness that I did never say these words.
This entire section of Holy Qur’aan is too much full with Glory and Greatness of God Almighty,
and devotion and humility of the human beings before Him, that the hairs of a
person stand on end after reciting it. Everyone would have to understand here also
that the Muslims believe in Jesus (peace be upon Him) too. So the lesson, which
is necessary to be learnt by the Christians, is more compulsory for the Muslims
to be learnt too.
