Surah Al Imran Ayat 46 Tafsir (Commentry)

  • Shaheen International

100. By ripe age is meant at first he will be raised to the heavens then he will return to the earth nearing Qiyaamat to speak to the people. Thus, just as his speaking to the people in his infancy was a miracle, his speaking in his ripe age too is a miracle. From this, Hazrat Isa's (On whom be peace) raising to the heaven and then returning to the earth, too, is proven as a miracle.
101. In these verses many qualities of Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) are mentioned such as being the 'Spirit of Allah Almighty being MASEEH, being son of Mariam only, not being a son of any man and being one of honour. Thus, through the QUR'AAN his fame is spread worldwide, being of special honour in the Hereafter for on the Day of Judgement it is through him that the Holy Prophet ?will become known to Allah Almighty's creation, one who enjoys greatness and closeness, etc. From this we learn that to sing the praise of the Prophets is the way of Allah Almighty. May Allah guide us all.
