608 - AZ ZUKHRUF (Ayat# 57-67)
The discourse centers on the significance of Isa (Jesus) as a sign for the people of Israel and a foretelling of the Day of Judgment. It clarifies misconceptions surrounding his status, rejecting both the claims of divinity and accusations of illegitimacy. The text emphasizes that Jesus brought wisdom, not a new law, building upon the foundations of the Torah. A key distinction is made between the wisdom found in the Injil (Gospel) and the commandments of the Torah, highlighting humanity’s evolving capacity to receive divine guidance. The arrival of Isa (Jesus) will be marked by clear signs and miracles, signaling the onset of tribulations. The discourse underscores the importance of adhering to Allah’s guidance and warns against the dangers of discord, noting that worldly friendships will dissolve on the Day of Judgment, except for those rooted in piety. It cautions against the consequences awaiting those who stray from the path and emphasizes the need for Taqwa (righteousness).
