God’s support with the Holy Spirit

Surah ‘Al-Baqarah (The Cow) – Chapter – 2)

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

87a.  And verily We gave unto Moses the Scripture and We caused a train of messengers to follow after him, and We gave unto Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty), and We supported him with the Holy Spirit.

87a.  Wa laqad ‘aatayNaa Muu-sal-Kitaaba wa qaffayNaa mim-ba’-dihii birrusuli wa ‘aatay-Naa ‘Iisabna-  Maryamal-Bayyi-naati wa ‘ayyadNaahu bi-Ruu-hil-Qudus.

Commentary

QaffayNaa – (We caused a train of messengers to follow) after the Prophet Moses, a chain of Prophets (peace be upon Them) continued coming among the Children of Israel. From Them, famous Prophets are David, Zachariah, John, Yusha’ and Jesus (peace be upon Them).

‘Iisaa – (Jesus) the Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) is the last Prophet out of the Prophets from the Children of Israel (peace be upon Them). No Prophet came in this world from the Children of Israel after the Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him). After Him, Prophet-hood was transferred toward the Children of Ishmael. In this dynasty the Last Prophet and Messenger, Muhammad (grace, peace and blessings on Him) was born and after Him (grace, peace and blessings on Him), neither any prophet has come and nor will come. It means that the prophet-hood has been finished after Him (grace, peace and blessings on Him). The Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) conveyed this good news, particularly about gracing with the Last Messenger’s presence (grace, peace and blessings on Him). The calendar belonging to Jesus, starts from the year of His death (peace be upon Him). Nasirah is a town in the country of Syria, which was His Ancestors’ native land. Due to this relation, the people call Him Jesus Christ (Masiih Nasri).

Maryama – (Mary) (God’s Blessings on Her), Her father’s name was Imran. She belonged to a very noble family of the Children of Israel. She was very modest also. The Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) was born from Her womb without father.

‘Iisabna- Maryama – (Jesus son of Mary) it signifies that the Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) was too a mankind. God forbid! He (peace be upon Him) was not the son of God. However, He was a great Prophet and Messenger (peace be upon Him) of God Almighty. Because He (peace be upon Him) was born without father, so the relation is mentioned toward His Mother. 

Al-Bayyi-naat - clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty) there is no scope for tricks or arguments to deny these clear proofs. 

Ruu-hul-Qudus – (the Holy Spirit), aim from Ruu-hul-Qudus is; the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him). He used to bring the Messages of God Almighty towards the Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them). He helped the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon Them) in every difficult situation, so He has been mentioned particularly here in this verse.
