Transliteration:( Wa Rasoolan ilaa Baneee Israaa'eela annee qad ji'tukum bi Aayatim mir Rabbikum annee akhluqu lakum minatteeni kahai 'atittairi fa anfukhu feehi fayakoonu tairam bi iznil laahi wa ubri'ul akmaha wal abrasa wa uhyil mawtaa bi iznil laahi wa unabbi'ukum bimaa taakuloona wa maa taddakhiroona fee buyootikum; inna fee zaalika la Aayatal lakum in kuntum mu'mineen )
103. From this we learn that Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) was a Prophet to the children of Israel only. Hence, our Holy Prophet's beloved parents and the Quraish of Makkah before Islam were not Nasara, because the Quraish were from the children of Hazrat Ismail On whom be peace) parents Our Holy Prophet's were following the religion of Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace).
104. This verse refers to the personal miracles from which a prophet's prophethood is proven. It is for this reason that Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) in this verse outlines some of his miracles which are mentioned herein.
105. In Islam it is forbidden to produce a paper image or design an image of a living thing although this was allowed in the Shariah of the previous Ummahs Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) would produce these to show his miracle. Hazrat Sulaiman (On whom be peace) had made the Jinns to produce images. Allah Almighty to reveal His Perfection and Excellence says. "They made for him what he desired lofty palaces and statues" (S34.V13).
106. In this verse there is a proof of blessing with incantation of the saints of Allah. From these verses we learn that Allah had given Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) the choice over life and death, although no one has power in matter of this. The Holy Prophet says: Allah Almighty had given me the choice between life and death. I chose the Hereafter over earthly life."
107. On peoples' entreaties Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) made an image of a flying fox and blew into it. Miraculously it became alive and began to fly. The flying fox is a strangetype of bird, who has teeth and milk from thenipples begin to flow. It flies without wings, it laughs, it does not lay eggs but procreates.
108. From this verse we learn that all Divine works can be attributed to the pious sages of Allah because giving cure is the work of Allah. Hence, it is correct to say that the Holy Prophet is the repeller of (ﷺ) calamities, provides children because Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) said that I give life to the dead, I cure those suffering from incurable diseases, I provide information about the unseen, although all these are works of Allah Almighty.
109. It should be remembered that during the time of Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) medical knowledge was strongly prevalent. Doctor Jaleenoos lived during this period. Three things are considered impossible by doctors: to give life to the dead, to cure one who is born blind and to cure a completely leprous body. Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) performed all three of these. From this we learn that Prophets performs those miracles which become well-known in their times. If a Qadiyani was a prophet he should have shown science oriented miracles to disprove scientific inventions.
110. Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) gave life to four dead bodies. A'zar, a friend of Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) was made alive three days after his death, and lived for many years thereafter and even had children afterwards. He brought to life the son of an old lady, whose corpse was being carried. After gaining life he jumped from the shoulders of his carriers, he too lived many years thereafter and also had children, the third was the daughter of a grain collector and the fourth was Saam, son of Hazrat Nuh (On whom be peace) who died thousands of years before. Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) had gone to his grave and made him alive but he replied from within that he had no desire to live. From this we learn that if Hazrat Ghouse Azam (May Allah be pleased with him) had brought to life a bridal procession that had died twelve years earlier, it is not impossible. The grave of the groom is found in Gujraat, Punjab. His name is Kabeerudeen and is well-known as Shah Dullah and is the Khaliph of Hazrat Ghouse Paak (May Allah be pleased with him). His Mazaar is frequented by all classes of people. He lived for six hundred years.
111. It should be remembered that the words "whatever you eat" and "whatever you Store" indicate aorist tense which can be used for past and future. It could also mean "whatever you have eaten" and "whatever necessities you have stored for the current year" you can ask me about all of them, or whatever every person would have eaten in his lifetime I can inform you about them i.e. I know who is destined to eat which grain. If Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) possessed such knowledge then what is the extent of the Holy Prophet's knowledge. All these sources of knowledge are but drops from the ocean of the knowledge of our Holy Prophet. From this we learn that Knowledge of the Unseen is a miracle of the Prophets.
The tafsir of Surah Imran verse 49 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Imran ayat 48 which provides the complete commentary from verse 48 through 51.
(3:49) and he will be a Messenger to the Children of Israel.’ (And when he came to them he said): ‘I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I will make for you from clay the likeness of a bird and then I will breathe into it and by the leave of Allah it will become a bird. I will also heal the blind and the leper, and by the leave of Allah bring the dead to life. I will also inform you of what things you eat and what you treasure up in your houses. Surely this is a sign for you if you are true believ-ers.[45]
45. It is hinted here that these signs are sufficient proof that Jesus was designated by God, the Creator and Sovereign of the universe, provided people are prepared to accept the truth instead of obstinately clinging to their prejudiced views. This is further proof that Jesus had been entrusted with a mission by God. Had he not been designated by God but by an imposter he would surely have attempted to found an independent religion, exploiting his miracles to lead people away from their original faith. However, Jesus believed in, and confirmed, the validity of the teachings of the original religion which had been preached at God’s behest by the earlier Prophets.
