Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
O People of the Book! Do not go to extremes regarding your faith; say nothing about Allah except the truth.
1 The Messiah, Jesus, son of
Mary, was no more than a messenger of Allah and the fulfilment of His Word through
Mary and a spirit ˹created by a command˺ from Him.
2 So believe in Allah and His messengers and do not say, “Trinity.” Stop!—for your own good. Allah is only One God. Glory be to Him! He is far above having a son! To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.

and for boasting, “We killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of
Mary, the messenger of Allah.” But they neither killed nor crucified him—it was only made to appear so.
1 Even those who argue for this ˹crucifixion˺ are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever—only making assumptions. They certainly did not kill him.

And ˹on Judgment Day˺ Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of
Mary! Did you ever ask the people to worship you and your mother as gods besides Allah?” He will answer, “Glory be to You! How could I ever say what I had no right to say?

And ˹on Judgment Day˺ Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of
Mary! Remember My favour upon you and your mother: how I supported you with the holy spirit
1 so you spoke to people in ˹your˺ infancy and adulthood. How I taught you writing, wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel. How you moulded a bird from clay—by My Will—and breathed into it and it became a ˹real˺ bird—by My Will. How you healed the blind and the lepers—by My Will. How you brought the dead to life—by My Will. How I prevented the Children of Israel from harming you when you came to them with clear proofs and the disbelievers among them said, “This is nothing but pure magic.”

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Those who say, “Allah is the Messiah, son of
Mary,” have certainly fallen into disbelief. The Messiah ˹himself˺ said, “O Children of Israel! Worship Allah—my Lord and your Lord.” Whoever associates others with Allah ˹in worship˺ will surely be forbidden Paradise by Allah. Their home will be the Fire. And the wrongdoers will have no helpers.

Mary wondered, “My Lord! How can I have a child when no man has ever touched me?” An angel replied, “So will it be. Allah creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, ‘Be!’ And it is!

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Indeed, those who say, “Allah is the Messiah, son of
Mary,” have fallen into disbelief. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Who has the power to prevent Allah if He chose to destroy the Messiah, son of
Mary, his mother, and everyone in the world all together?” To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between. He creates whatever He wills. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And mention in the Book ˹O Prophet, the story of˺

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
O believers! Stand up for Allah, as Jesus, son of
Mary, asked the disciples, “Who will stand up with me for Allah?” The disciples replied, “We will stand up for Allah.” Then a group from the Children of Israel believed while another disbelieved. We then supported the believers against their enemies, so they prevailed.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
˹There is˺ also ˹the example of˺
Mary, the daughter of ’Imrân, who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her ˹womb˺ through Our angel ˹Gabriel˺.
1 She testified to the words of her Lord and His Scriptures, and was one of the ˹sincerely˺ devout.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And ˹remember˺ when Jesus, son of
Mary, said, “O children of Israel! I am truly Allah’s messenger to you, confirming the Torah which came before me, and giving good news of a messenger after me whose name will be Aḥmad.”
1 Yet when the Prophet came to them with clear proofs, they said, “This is pure magic.”
