156. And because of their disbelief and of their
speaking against Mary a tremendous calumny-
157a. And because of their saying: We slew the Messsiah,
Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger; they slew him not, nor crucified him,
but it appeared so unto them. And lo! Those who disagree concerning it are in
doubt thereof.

Commentary
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
the same) faces’. Tashbiih means ‘to make anything to suit (tally) the other and to show
that both have the same form’. Here it aims that the face of another person
appeared before them such as the face of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him).
Those misdeeds 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 shown many miracles and signs of truth regarding the
Prophets (peace be upon them), but they had not been 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
commandment 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’an 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.
