SURAH AL-E-IMRAN: 56-61

TRANSLATION:

[3:56]
As for those who disbelieve, I shall punish them a severe punishment in this world and in the Hereafter; and for them there are no helpers.

[3:57]
As for those who believe and do good deeds, He (Allah) will give them their rewards in full. Allah does not like transgressors.

[3:58]
This We recite to you of the Verses and the Message that is full of wisdom.

[3:59]
Surely, the case of Isa , in the sight of Allah, is like the case of ‘Adam . He created him from dust, then He said to him, "Be", and he came to be.

[3:60]
The truth is from your Lord. So, do not be of those who doubt.

[3:61]

If someone argues with you (O Prophet) over this after the knowledge that has come to you, say (to him), "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then (let us) pray and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars". {25}

INTERPRETATION:

{25} This process is called Mubahila. During an argument, rather than accept the other person's cogent argument, if one person becomes absolutely rigid, then the last resort is to invite him for Mubahila which means that lets pray together to Allah Ta'alah that who amongst us in the wrong and is lying, may die. As was mentioned in the beginning of this Surah a delegation from the Christians in Najran city had come to meet the Holy Prophet ﷺ. They argued with the Holy Prophet about Hazrat Isa AS being God, which was satisfactorily replied to in the previous verses of the Holy Quran. When they kept insisting on their point of view after such clear arguments then this verse advised the Holy Prophet ﷺ to invite them for Mubahila. The Holy Prophet gave them that invitation and and also gathered his family (اہلِ بیت) but the delegation ran away.
