THE STORY OF MARYAM'S BIRTH PART 12

Story of Isa ibn Maryam from Quran

Allaah Taking and Raising Isaa 'Alyhis Salaam to Himself

Meaning of "Take You" 

 

Allah tells,

 

إِذْ قَالَ اللّهُ يَا عِيسَى 

And (remember) when Allah said:"O Isa!

  

إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ 

I will take you and raise you to Myself,

 

while you are asleep.

Allah said,And because of their saying, "We killed Al-Masih Isa, son of Maryam, the Messenger of Allah," but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared as that to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts. 

They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not.

 

But Allah raised him up unto Himself. And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise.

 

And there is none of the People of the Scripture, but must believe in him, before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection, he will be a witness against them. (4:156-159)

His death' refers to Isa, and the Ayah means that;

 

the People of the Book will believe in Isa, before Isa dies. This will occur when Isa comes back to this world before the Day of Resurrection, as we will explain.

 

By that time, all the People of the Book will believe in `Isa, for he will annul the Jizyah and he will only accept Islam from people.
