SURAH AL-E-IMRAN: 79-81

TRANSLATION:


[3:79]
It is not (possible) for a man that Allah gives him the Book, the wisdom and the prophethood, then he starts saying to the people "Become my worshippers, aside from Allah" {29}, rather, (he would say), "Be men of the Lord; as you have been teaching the Book, and as you have been learning it."

[3:80]
Nor is it (possible for him) that he bids you to hold the angels and the prophets as Lords. Shall he bid you to disbelieve, after your having become Muslims?

[3:81]
When Allah made the prophets enter into a covenant: (saying) "If I give you a book and wisdom, then comes to you a messenger verifying what is with you, you shall have to believe in him, and you shall have to support him." He said, "Do you affirm and accept my covenant in this respect?" They said, "We affirm". He said, "Then, bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses."

INTERPRETATION:

{29} This is a rejection of the claim of those Christians who, by pronouncing that Hazrat Isa AS (Jesus) was God or the son of God, were actually claiming that Hazrat Isa AS ordered them to worship himself. Similarly, there were some sects of Jews who believed that Hazrat Uzair AS was the son of God.
