Lesson
Shubbiha – (it appeared so), it
has been derived from the word tashbiihun,
origin of which is shabaahat. A word mushaabihat has also come out from the
same origin. Shabaahat means ‘matching
of face with someone else and two or more persons having alike (as same) faces’.
Tashbiih means ‘to make anything to
suit (tally) the other and to show that both have the same shape’. Here it aims
that the face of another person appeared before them such as the face of
Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him).
Those badness of the
Jews have been mentioned in this verse, which they committed against Prophet
Jesus (peace be upon him). At first they denied clearly to believe and
presented many curious conditions for it, likewise they did against Prophet
Moses (peace be upon him). They were seen many miracles and signs of truth
regarding the Prophets (peace be upon them), but they did not to be moved. Moreover,
on the contrary they became Their {Prophets (peace be upon them)} enemies. They
accused Mary (Mother of Jesus (peace be upon them) of sin, which was entirely a
lie. She (peace be upon her) was surely a chaste woman. It is apparent that
their two bad habits were very old and deep i.e. insolence and disobedience.
The Jews used to obey
the command only in the form when any power super to them was standing ready to
beat and punish them. At that time, they used to be obedient by compulsion due
to constraint of fear, but as soon as they used to feel themselves free from
any kind of threat, become at once as they were earlier. According to their
thought, they caught Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) and crucified, and then bragged,
“We have slain Jesus (peace be upon him)”. It was their very oppressive arrogance,
but Holy Qur’aan has told very
clearly that their claim is wrong. They hanged and slew any other person in
deception, who had the face like Jesus (peace be upon him). Neither they
crucified Jesus (peace be upon him), nor killed. With effect from that time,
till to date they have been deceived and seized in doubts. Not only the Jews,
but also some more people are in doubt about the execution of Prophet Jesus
(peace be upon him), and their all discourses in this case depend only on
guess, opinion and thought.
