Salaam all,



Laqad kafara allatheena qaloo inna Allaha huwa almaseehu ibnu maryama waqala almaseehu ya banee israeela oAAbudoo Allaha rabbee warabbakum innahu man yushrik biAllahi faqad harrama Allahu AAalayhi aljannata wamawahu alnnaru wama lilththalimeena min ansarin

The Aya says:
Indeed, the ones who say that Allah is indeed The Messiah son of Mary have rejected (Allah and his message). And the Messiah said: “O children of Israel worship Allah, my Nurturing Lord and your nurturing Lord. Indeed, whoever makes partners with Allah, then Allah made paradise forbidden upon him, and his place of staying is Hell. And the ones who do injustice have no helpers.”

My personal note:
This Aya states clearly one of the main differences between Christianity and Islam and that is ascribing divinity upon Jesus or saying that he is God.

The aya continues with a statement from Jesus that Allah is His lord as he is the Lord of the children of Israel and all humanity. The reason why Jesus was addressing the Children of Israel is because he is a product of that group and he was sent to them.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Laqad: indeed
Kafara: they rejected (Allah and His message)/ discarded
Note: the root is K-F-R and it means cover or bury in the ground, as in put the seed in the ground and cover it. This is then used conceptually for many purposes as in discarding and rejecting as well as burying. KAFARA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of rejection or discarding of the object (not declared, but understood from the context to point to God and/or the message) happened by the subject (third person singular).
Allatheena: those who
Qaloo: said/ communicated
Note: QALOO is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QALOO is an action that is completed that is derived from the root.

Huwa: He
Almaseehu: the Messiah/ the anointed one

Ibnu: son of
Maryama: Mary/ Miriam
Waqala: while he said/ and he said
Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after. This link is through inclusion, either one is included in the other or they are all included in the bigger sentence or bigger picture. WA often corresponds with “and/ addition” but the more encompassing meaning is in inclusion one in another or all in a bigger picture or sentence. QALA is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QALA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root.

Israeela: Israel/Jacob
oAAbudoo: worship/ make yourselves slaves of
Note: oAABUDOO is derived from the root Ain-B-D and it means slave or servant. This is conceptually extended to acts of worship. A person makes himself/ herself a slave voluntarily either out of love or out of recognition of the importance of the entity he or she enslaved himself to, and that is the essence of worship, enslaving oneself to the beloved who is also the almighty. oAABUDOO is an order or a request addressing a group of people. It means: and worship/ make yourselves slaves of the object (Allah).
Allaha: Allah/ the one worthy of worship

AAalayhi: upon him
Aljannata: the garden/ paradisegardens/ paradises
