Salam,
Many
Christians claimed that Quran at Surah 9:31 give deception and lie to Muslims
about Christian’s belief. They claimed they do take priests and anchorites as
God.
The
Quran at 9:31:
They
take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of
Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet they were
commanded to worship but One Allah: there is no god but He. Praise and glory to
Him: (Far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him).
For
the information of Christians, the Quran
never lie about anything and it is telling the truth that Christians do take
their priest and anchorites as lords in derogation of Allah. The Quran also
provide proof of this statement from the Christian Bible itself. The verse
(9:31) is broken into two fragments for easy reference and justification:-
The
Quran says “They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in
derogation of Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary;”
Here
for easy justification the example of the Jews is taken into account as they
take Ezra as their priest and anchorite and thus take him as the son of God and
the Christians do the same except that the Christians take Jesus as the son of
God.
The
example of the Jew in Ezra he was also called Ezra the Scribe and also Ezra the
Priest. He was also authorized to teach as stated in the Bible: For Ezra had
prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in
Israel statutes and judgments (Ezra 7:10). Since he was a teacher they called
him Rabbi and according to Jewish tradition a Rabbi is also known as the son of
God and this is where the Quran says they take their priests and their
anchorites to be their Lords in derogation of Allah. Similarly the Christian
takes Christ the son of Mary as the Jew take Ezra as Rabbi and a Jew confirmed
Jesus is also a Rabbi and according to Jewish tradition he is the son of God.
The part of the Bible that confirmed a Jew declared Christ a Rabbi and son of
God is as stated:-
Philip
findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the
law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. And
Nathanael said unto him, can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip
saith unto him, Come and see. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of
him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith unto him,
Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip
called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. Nathanael answered and saith unto him,
Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. (John1:45-49).
So in the Bible the Jew confirmed a Rabbi is the son of God and a Rabbi is a
teacher and a master which the Christians looked upon Jesus. So the Quran tell
the truth of the Christians belief by giving evidences from the Bible itself.
In
the part of the vcerse 9:31 the Quran also said “yet they were commanded to
worship but One Allah: there is no god but He. Praise and glory to
Him: (Far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him).”
Stated
in the following are verses of the Bible commanding the Christians to worship
one God: For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous God: (Exodus 34:14); And in another verse Jesus answered
and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt
worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. (Luke 4:8)
Thus
the accusation that the “Quran at Surah 9:31 give deception and lie to Muslims
about Christian’s belief is unjustified as the Bible itself proved and confirmed
that they do take their priests and anchorites in derogation of Allah.
Asar
