The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded.
Tafsir
Verse range: 5:75
ما المسيح ابن مريم إﻻ رسول قد خلت من قبله الرسل
The Messiah, son of Maryam, was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. `Isa is just like the previous Prophets, and he is one of the servants of Allah and one of His honorable Messengers. Allah said in another Ayah,
إن هو إﻻ عبد أنعمنا عليه وجعلنه مثﻼ لبنى إسرءيل
He (`Isa) was not more than a servant. We granted Our favor to him, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel. (43:59) Allah said next,
وأمه صديقة
His mother was a Siddiqah, for she believed in Allah with complete trust in Him. This is the highest rank she was given, which proves that she was not a Prophet. Allah said next,
كانا يٲكﻼن الطعام
They both used to eat food, needing nourishment and to relieve the call of nature. Therefore, they are just servants like other servants, not gods as ignorant Christian sects claim, may Allah's continued curses cover them until the Day of Resurrection. Allah said next,
انظر كيف نبين لهم اﻻيات
Look how We make the Ayat clear to them. making them unequivocal and plain,
ثم انظر أنى يوفكون
yet look how they are deluded away (from the truth). look at the opinions, misguided ideas, and claims they cling to, even after Our clarification and plain, unequivocal explanation
