Lesson
Prophet
Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) commanded his nation, the children of Israel, “I
have come confirming the Torah which was revealed upon Prophet Moses (peace be
upon him) before me. That was revealed from Allah Almighty and that is a true
Scripture. Keeping its ordinary principles and orders firm, I shall make some changes
in the instructions by the order of Allah Almighty, which will be suitable
according to the present times. As there was some severity in a few
instructions, that will be lifted now. The things, which were made forbidden as
punishment against your wicked deeds, I shall make them lawful for you. You can
use them without any hesitation, risk and fear. And I have come towards you with
a sign of Prophet-hood and Messenger-hood from your Lord. He has bestowed me many
miracles. So keep your duty to Allah Almighty in accord with the guidelines,
illustrated by me and follow me”.
It is easily
understood here that sobriety, abstinence and piety is hidden in the obedience
of the Messenger (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) never
says, what is not from Allah Almighty. He never delivers self-invented order. Therefore,
how it is possible that without obedience of the Messenger (peace be upon him),
the willingness and pleasure of Allah Almighty will be acquired.
Prophet
Jesus Christ described that Allah Almighty is my Lord as well as yours’ too. My
relation with Him is not as son and father. I am His servant and He is my God
(worshipped). Therefore, as I act for His devotion, you should also worship
Him. Allah Almighty be praised upon His favors. Obeying His (God’s) orders and
following me, (peace be upon him) is the straight path.
This verse
is also in continuity of previous verses. Miraculous birth of Prophet Jesus Messiah
(peace be upon him), his teachings and miracles are being described
continuously. Aim of these entire discussions is to produce the perception of
God fearing, obedience of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of
Allah Almighty be upon him) and worship of True God into the human beings. The mankind
might learn to bow only in front of Allah Almighty remaining apart from the
worship of other human beings. This is the Straight Path.
