Lesson
The Messenger Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) is restless for
explaining about His being innocence in the Court of Allaah Almighty. He (peace be upon Him) is considering that as much
big question cannot be asked without any reason. Certainly, there is any wisdom
of Allaah Almighty in it. At first,
He (peace be upon Him) requests, “O Allaah,
Gory be to Thee. How can he be an arrogant against Thee? How can he claim as
partnership with Thee, who is a servant of Thee, to whom Thee art Kind enough,
bestowed and appointed him Your own Messenger and Prophet”? Then Jesus (peace
be upon Him) solicits: I have not too much knowledge that I may understand Thy
Secrets and discover Thy Wisdom, which exists in this question. Thee Know very
well that I never thought so (that I may be made god by myself). Then Christ
(peace be upon Him) describes about those deeds, which He (peace be upon Him)
performed to keep His duty in the world. In this verse, He (peace be upon Him)
explains:
O my Lord! I told them nothing except only that
which Thou commanded me. I said to them: Worship Allaah Almighty, Who is my and your Lord and Protector. And admit
before Him that you (the people) are helpless and poor. None is able to be
worshipped but only He (Allaah
Almighty). O Allaah! I was a witness
of them while I dwell among them, and when Thou picked me up, then Thou was the
Watcher over them Thyself, and there is no any other except Thy, who may watch
because Thou art Witness and Watcher over all things.
After that, Jesus (peace be upon Him) thought,
surely there would be a particular reason of this question, that after proving
the crime of the claimants of my followers, they may be punished properly
against their evil deeds. Therefore, He (peace be upon Him) recommended the
evil-livers of His nation in very suitable words being a merciful Messenger,
which will be discussed in the next lesson.
