ALLAH AND THE MESSIAH ARE GODS IN THE QURAN

According to Quran 9:31, Allah and the Messiah were mentioned side by side.

Quran 9:31 in Arabic is separated into two for easy reading.

اتَّخَذُوا أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَالْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ

First part:

They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah and the Messiah, the son of Mary.

وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا إِلَٰهًا وَاحِدًا ۖ لَّا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Last part:

And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him.

Similarly reading in Quran 48:9
 للِّتُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُعَزِّرُوهُ وَتُوَقِّرُوهُ وَتُسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا

 بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ  meaning: Allah and His Messenger

[Sahih International]
That you may believe in Allah and His Messenger, honour him, respect him and glorify him morning and afternoon.

 

There must be a reason why Allah and the Messiah (Jesus) were mentioned side by side, so let us take a further look at the Quran.

Quran 21:91 said; " وَالَّتِي أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهَا مِن رُّوحِنَا وَجَعَلْنَاهَا وَابْنَهَا آيَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ"

(In English) "And the one who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples."

 

Quran 19:17 said; "فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِن دُونِهِمْ حِجَابًا فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا"

(In English) "And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Spirit, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man."

Quran 66:12 said; "وَمَرْيَمَ ابْنَتَ عِمْرَانَ الَّتِي أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتْ بِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهِ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْقَانِتِينَ"

(Yusuf Ali) "And Mary, the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into her of Our spirit; and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the devout."

In Islam, associating with Allah is an act of Shirk - Quran verses

Despite being a messenger, the word "I" was used six times in the same verse, which shows that both Allah and Jesus are equal.

IN MALAY LANGUAGE:

Quran 9:31 dalam bahasa Arab dipisahkan kepada dua bahagian untuk bacaan mudah.

Bahagian pertama:
اتخذوا أحبارهم ورهبانهم أربابا من دون الله والمسيح ابن مريم

Mereka telah mengambil ulama dan biarawan mereka sebagai tuhan selain Allah, dan Mesias, anak Maryam.

Bahagian kedua/terakhir:

وما أمروا إلا ليعبدوا إلها واحدا لا إله إلا هو سبحانه عما يشركون

Dan mereka tidak diperintahkan kecuali untuk menyembah satu Tuhan; Tiada Tuhan melainkan Dia. Maha Tinggi adalah Dia dari apa yang mereka persekutukan denganNya.

Sama seperti membaca dalam Quran 48:9
 للتؤمنوا بالله ورسوله وتعزروه وتوقروه وتسبحوه بكرة وأصيلا

[Sahih Antarabangsa]
Bahawa kamu percaya kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya, menghormatinya dan beribadat kepadanya pagi dan petang hari.

 

  بالله ورسوله bermaksud: Allah dan Rasul-Nya
