Jesus’ Brings the Dead to Life
Jesus continued to pray to Allah for mercy on his people and to teach his people to have mercy on
one another and to believe in Allah.
Jesus continued his mission, aided by divine miracles. Some Qur’anic commentators said that Jesus brought four people back from the dead:
a friend of his named Al-Azam, an old woman’s son, and a woman’s only daughter. These three had died during his lifetime.
When the Jews saw this they said: “You only resurrect those who have died recently; perhaps they only fainted.”
They asked him to bring back to life Sam the Ibn Noah.
When he asked them to show him his grave, the people accompanied him there. Jesus invoked
Allah the Exalted to bring him back to life and behold, Sam the Ibn Noah came out from the grave
gray-haired.
Jesus asked: “how did you get gray hair, when there was no aging in your time?”
He answered: “O Spirit of Allah, I thought that the Day of Resurrection had come; from the fear of
that day my hair turned gray.”
The Miracles of Jesus – Quranic
Allah the Almighty said:
“Remember when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection):
“O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My Favor to you and to your mother when I supported you with Ruh-ul-Qudus (Gabriel)
so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and when I taught you writing, Al Hikmah (the power of understanding), the Torah and the Gospel; and when you made out of the clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My Permission, and you breathed into it, and it became a bird by My Permission, and you healed those born blind, and the lepers by My Permission, and when you brought forth the dead by My Permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from you (when they resolved to kill you) since you came unto them with clear proofs, and the
disbelievers among them said: ‘This is nothing but evident magic.'”
And when I (Allah) put in their hearts of the disciples (of Jesus) to believe in Me and My
Messenger, they said: “We believe. And bear witness that we are Muslims.”
(Ch 5:110-111 Quran)
Jesus’ Abilities and the Disciples – Quranic
Almighty Allah also revealed:
“And He Allah will teach him (Jesus) the Book and Al Hikmah (the Sunna, the faultless speech of
the Prophets, wisdom, etc.), (and) the Torah and the Gospel.
And will make him (Jesus) a Messenger to the Children of Israel (saying):
“I have come to you
with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and
breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah’s Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and
the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allah’s leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and
what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe. And I have come
confirming that which was before me of the Torah, and to make lawful to you part of what was
forbidden to you, and I have come to you with proof from your Lord. So fear Allah and obey me.
Truly! Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him (Alone). This is the Straight Path.”
Then when Jesus came to know of their disbelief, he said: “Who will be my helpers in Allah’s
Cause?” The disciples said: “We are the helpers of Allah; we believe in Allah, and bear witness
that we are Muslims (we submit to Allah).”
Our Lord! We believe in what You have sent down, and we follow the Messenger (Jesus); so
write us down among those who bear witness (to the truth, La ilaha ill Allah – none has the right
to be worshipped but Allah).
And they (disbelievers) plotted (to kill Jesus), and Allah planned too. And Allah is the Best of the
planners. (Ch 3:48-54 Quran)
Allah Sends the Disciples a Feast
Jesus continued calling people to Almighty Allah and laying down for them what might be called
“the law of the Spirit.” Once when standing on a mountain surrounded by his disciples, Jesus saw
that those who believed in him were from among the poor, the wretched, an the downtrodden,
and their number was small. Some of the miracles which Jesus performed had been requested by
his disciples, such as their wish for a “holy table” to be sent down from heaven.
Allah the Exalted said:
“Remember when the disciples said:
“O Jesus, son of Mary! Can your Lord send down to us a table spread (with food) from heaven?”
Jesus said: “Fear Allah, if you are indeed believers.”
They said: “We wish to eat thereof and to be stronger in Faith and to know that you have indeed
told us the truth and that we ourselves be its witnesses.”
Jesus, son of Mary, said: “O Allah, our Lord! Send us from heaven a table spread (with food)
that there may be for us – for the first and the last of us – a festival and a sign from You; and
provide us sustenance, for You are the best of sustainers.”
Allah said: “I am going to send it down unto you, but if any of you after that disbelieves, then I will punish him with a torment such as I have not inflicted on anyone among all the Alamin (mankind and jinn).
And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection):
“O ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: ‘Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?’ ” He will say: “Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All Knower of all that is hidden and unseen.” (Ch 5:112-116 Quran)
It was related that Jesus commanded his disciples to fast for thirty days; at the end of it, they
asked Jesus to bring food from heaven to break their fast. Jesus prayed to Allah after his disciples
had doubted Allah’s power.
The great table cam down between two clouds, one above and one below, while the people watched.
Jesus said: “O Lord, make it a mercy and not a cause of distress.”
So it fell between Jesus’s hands, covered with a napkin.
Jesus suddenly prostrated and his disciples with him. They sensed a fragrance, which they had never smelled before.
Jesus said: “The one who is the most devout and most righteous may uncover the table, that we might eat of it to thank Allah for it.”
They said: “O Spirit of Allah, you are the most deserving.”
Jesus stood up, then performed ablution and prayed before uncovering the table, and behold, there
was a roasted fish.
The disciples said: “O Spirit of Allah, is this the food of this world or of Paradise?”
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Did not Allah forbid you to ask questions? It is the divine
power of Allah the Almighty Who said: ‘Be,’ and it was. It is a sign from Almighty Allah warning
of great punishment for unbelieving mortals of the world. This is the kernel of the matter.”
It is said that thousands of people partook of it, and yet they never exhausted it. A further miracle
was that the blind and lepers were cured.
Those Worshipping Jesus and Allah’s Questions to Jesus
The Day of the Table became one of the holy days for the disciples and followers of Jesus. Later
on, the disciples and followers forgot the real essence of the miracles, and so they worshipped
Jesus as a god.
Almighty Allah asserted:
“And remember when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): “O Jesus, son of Mary! Did
you say unto men: ‘Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?'”
He will say: “Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right to say. Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All Knower of all that is hidden and unseen. Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allah) did command me to say: ‘Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord’,
And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were
the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and
warning to the Christians of the whole world). If you punish them, they are Your slaves, and if
You forgive them, Verily You, only You are the All Mighty, the All Wise.”
Allah will say: “This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are
Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) – they shall abide therein forever. Allah is pleased
with them and they with Him. That is the great success (Paradise). To Allah belongs the
dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, and He is Able to do all things.”
