“Know that the life of this world is only sport (play), and idle
talk, and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in
respect of wealth and children; as the likeness of vegetation after
rain, whereof the growth is pleasing to the cultivator, but
afterwards it dries up and thou sees it turning yellow, then it
becomes straw. And in the hereafter there is grievous
punishment, and also forgiveness from ALLAH and HIS good
pleasure, whereas the life of this world is but a matter of
illusion.”
(Look to how beautifully ALLAH the Majestic, sums up the
explanation of this temporary life in just one verse).
Question: What is recorded in the Qur’an regarding the claim
of divinity of Jesus by his followers?
Qur’an Answers: And when Allah will say on the Day of
Judgment: “O’ Jesus, son of Mary! Did thou say unto mankind:
Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah?” Jesus will
reply: “Be Thou Glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I
had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou
knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy
mind. Lo! Thou only! Thou art the Knower of all things hidden. I
spoke unto them only that which Thou did command me:
(saying) Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness
of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou raised me
up, Thou was the Watcher over them. Thou art witness over all
things. If Thou punish them, lo! they are Thy slaves, and if Thou
forgive them, (lo! they are Thy slaves). Lo! Thou, only Thou art
the Mighty, the Wise.”
“Allah will say: This is a day in which their truthfulness profited
the truthful, for theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers
flow, wherein they are secure for ever, Allah taking pleasure in
them and they in Him. That is the supreme triumph” Qur’an
:
Chapter 5: verses 116-119
