Prophet Isa(Alaihi Salaam) Part 4 :
A) Allah's Message About Isa(Alaihi salaam) :
"Such is Jesus, son of Maryam. (It is) a statement of truth, about which they doubt (or dispute). It befits not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son (this refers to the slander of Christians against Allah, by saying that Jesus is the son of Allah). Glorified (and Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it, "Be!" - and it is.Jesus said: "And verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path. (Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets)."Then the sects differed (the Christians about Jesus), so woe unto the disbelivers (those who gave false witness saying that Jesus is the son of Allah) from the meeting of a great Day (the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire).How clearly will they (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) see and hear, the Day when they will appear before Us! But the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) today are in plain error. And warn them (O Muhammad) of the Day of grief and regrets, when the case has been decided, while now they are in a state of carelessness and they believe not. (Surah maryam 19:34-39 Quran)
B) Isa(Alaihi salaam) Upsets the Jews :
The Jewish priests felt this child Isa(Alaihi salaam) was dangerous, for they felt that the people would turn their worship to Allah the Almighty Alone, displacing the existing Jewish tenets. Consequently,
they would lose their authority over the people. Therefore, they kept the miracle of Jesus's speech in infancy as a secret and accused Maryam of a great misdeed.
C) Isa(Alaihi salaam)'s Ability to Debate :
As Isa(Alaihi salaam) grew, the signs of prophethood began to increase. He could tell his friends what kind of supper waited for them at home and what they had hidden and where. When he was
twelve years old, he accompanied his mother to Jerusalem. There he wandered into the praying area and joined a crowd listening to the lecture of the Rabbis (Jewish priests). The audience were all adults, but he was not afraid to sit with them. After listening intently, he asked questions and expressed his opinion. The learned rabbis were disturbed by the boy's boldness and puzzled by the questions he asked, for they were unable to answer him. They tried to silence him, but he ignored their attempts and continued to express his views. Isa(Alaihi salaam) became so involved in this exchange that
he forgot he as expected back home.In the meantime, his mother went home, thinking that he might have gone back with relatives or
friends. When she arrived, she discovered that he was not there, so she returned to the city to look for him. At last she found him in the place of worship, sitting among the learned, conversing with them. He appeared to be quite at ease, as if he had been doing this all his life. Maryam got angry with him for causing her worry. He tried to assure her that all the arguing and debating with the learned had made him forgot the time.
