Prophet's Story

Prophet's Story
THE STORY OF PROPHET ISA (1)



The story of Prophet Isa as is a fairly complete story told in the Qur’an. Especially about his death and arrival in the world at the end of time full of question marks.


Some argue that the death that occurred to Jesus was death in general, crucified and others argue that the body and soul were lifted by God (in a state of life).


And so is his coming at the end of time. Some argue that Jesus will actually appear as a sign of the apocalypse, but others state that it is not a certainty that Prophet Jesus will reappear, because the Prophet Muhammad has been crowned as the cover of the Prophets and Apostles.


The story of the birth of Prophet Isa as is described by Allah in the Quran, namely QS Maryam/19:16 to QS Maryam/19:40. In this verse Allah SWT explains how the situation of the birth of Prophet Isa as, and when his mother, Maryam, steadfastly and patiently faced her people who accused and insulted with the presence of the baby.


In this article, it will be told in full about the story of Prophet Isa as as listed in the holy book of the Qur'an.


In the holy book of the Qur'an Prophet Isa is called by the name ‘Isa with the title of al-Masih and Ibn Maryam. His capacity is as the servant and Messenger of Allah, the word of Allah delivered to Mary, and part of His Spirit. He was born without a father and was a miracle-giving prophet that no other prophet had.


Prophet Jesus had a very strong piety and devotion. In the Qur'an Allah SWT asked the Prophet Jesus if he claimed to be God, then Prophet Isa answered that he did not confess and told his people to worship him but to worship only Allah.


The story of the birth of Prophet Jesus as. is described in QS Maryam/19:16 to QS Maryam/19:40. As for the verse is before the birth of Prophet Jesus as occurred strange events experienced by his mother, Maryam. Among those events was when Maryam was alone, suddenly came the angel Gabriel resembled a human, this story told.


Allah SWT said in QS Maryam/19:16 which reads;


"And tell (tale) Mary in the Qur'an, that is, when she distanced herself from her family to a place in the east. So he held a veil (which protected him) from them; and We sent Our spirit to him, and he incarnated before him (in the form) of a perfect man."


The angel Gabriel came to inform Mary that he would be bestowed upon her a holy son, this is stated in QS Maryam/19:19, Allah SWT said;


He (Jibril) said: "I am but a messenger of your Lord, to give you a holy son."


The more days, the age of Maryam's womb is getting bigger so that it is time for Maryam to give birth to a child. With pain, he forced himself to lean towards the base of the date palm tree. This is illustrated in QS Maryam/19:23, Allah SWT said;


This verse illustrates that Mary was ashamed of others for what had happened to her, for she was worried that disaster and sorrow would be received after giving birth to a fatherless child. Plus a new difficulty, which is that he needs water to bathe his child, and needs food. Mary was getting sad.


Seeing these conditions, God sent Jibril to comfort Mary, so that he no longer felt sad about the destiny that God gave. In QS Maryam/19:24, Allah SWT says;


"Jibril called him from a low place: "Do not grieve, Your Lord has made a tributary under you."


Gabriel sent a message from Allah SWT lest Mary grieve, for Allah has provided water, a small tributary, and the waters are clear.


Then he was told to shake the date tree so that he and his son could eat and continue their lives. Then continued with QS Maryam/19:26, Allah SWT said;


"Feed, drink, and enjoy your heart, if you see a man, Say: "I have made a vow to fast for the Most Merciful Lord, Then I won't talk to a human being today."


Mary was commanded that she should not think too much about what had happened, she should eat and drink what God had given her, and cast out her sorrow, for God has given her. has purified his future, and cleansed the defamation his people accuse him of.


So they are convinced and admit that Mary is a holy figure again clean of despicable traits. Then Maryam brought Isa as her son to her people as found in QS Maryam/19:27, Allah SWT said;


"So Maryam brought the child to her people with her, and her people said: "Hi Maryam, you have done something very difficult."


Hearing the insults and insults of her people, Maryam pointed to her baby so that they themselves would ask her. They were angry at Maryam for thinking that Mary mocked and played with them. It is contained in QS Maryam/19:29-32, Allah SWT said;


"So Maryam pointed to her son, saying: "How shall we speak to the child who is still in the swing?" Isa said: "I am a servant of Allah, He gave me the Book (Gospel) and He made me a Prophet, And He made me a blessed man wherever I am, and He commanded me (to establish) the prayer and (to fulfill) the zakat as long as I live; and to devote myself to my mother, and He did not make me a proud man anymore wretched."
