Quran Chapter 5 – 117 (Pt-7, Stg-2) (L-763) - درس قرآن 

Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord

Surah MAAA-‘IDAH (The Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

117. مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ إِلَّا مَآ أَمَرْتَنِى بِهِۦٓ أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّى وَرَبَّكُمْ ۚ وَكُنتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا مَّا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِى كُنتَ أَنتَ ٱلرَّقِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ وَأَنتَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ
 
117.  I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying): Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. And Thou art Witness over all things.         
117.  Maa  qultu  lahum  ‘illaa  maaa  ‘amarTa-nii  bihiii  ‘ani’-buDUllaaha  Rabbii  wa  Rabbakum.  Wa  kuntu  ‘alay-him  shahiidam-maa  dumtu  fiihim.  Fa-lammaa  Ta-waffay-tanii  kunta  ‘Antar-Raqiiba  ‘alay-him.  Wa  ‘Anta  ‘alaa  kulli  shay-‘in-  Shahiid.

Commentary

The Messenger Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) is restless for explaining about His being innocence in the Court of Allah Almighty. He (peace be upon Him) is considering that so much big question cannot be asked without any reason. Certainly, there is any wisdom of Allah Almighty in it. At first, He (peace be upon Him) requests, “O Allah, 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 philosophy, which exists in this question. Thee Know very well that I did never think so (that I may make god 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 Allah 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 (Allah Almighty). O Allah! I was a witness of them while I dwelt 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.
