General Discussions / Explanation for verse 110 in Al Maida (Prophet Jesus and creation)
« on: November 03, 2017, 11:42:08 PM »
Salam Alaikom,
I would like to thank Mr Joseph Islam for explaining to us the permissibly of making statues (and drawing) via the Quran.
Even some traditional or should I say "Semi traditional" scholars and Imams have reached the same conclusion and I think the most famous example is Imam Mohammed Abduh, the former
Grand Mufti of Egypt (d. 1905) when he stated that make statues is halal.
But I have a question which is a result of "Salafi Scarring" so to say and I need the help of my brethren here if possible.
In the verse 110 of Surat Al Maida, unfortunately Salafi "scholars" (more like copy pasters) have used certain terms in this verse to strengthen their claim that making statues is strictly forbidden unless commanded by Allah.
[The Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Pure Spirit and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission; and you healed the blind and the leper with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious magic."
They say that when Jesus (PBUH) made the statue it was with Allah's permission because otherwise its forbidden. I find a serious contradiction with that because it would mean healing the blind and the leper is also forbidden unless Allah gives someone permission to cure them. I want to hear your opinions on the matter and thanks a lot!
