In the Name of Allah, the
Gracious, the Merciful
Extract from QUR’AANIC
STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART I:
117.
Ma qultu lahum illa ma amartanee bihi ani oAAbudoo Allaha
rabbee warabbakum wakuntu AAalayhim shaheedan ma dumtu feehim falamma
tawaffaytanee kunta anta alrraqeeba AAalayhim waanta AAala kulli
shay-in shaheedun
5:117. "I did not tell them
anything except what You enjoined me with: 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your
Lord.' And I was a witness over them so long as I remained among them, but when
You caused me to die, You were the Guard over them.45 And You are
Witness over all things."
45. The scenario here is Allah's Court on Judgement Day in the
Hereafter. Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) is in the witness box. The
Almighty, All-knowing Judge is questioning him. From Verse 5:116 above to Verse
5:119 below is a transcript of that interrogation. And this part of the
transcript – recorded in this Verse 5:117 – gives the lie to the popular belief
among Muslims about a 2nd coming of Jesus to this earth.
