Some people celebrate Christmas because of their belief that Essa (Jesus) was the son of God. What Al Quran says on this?

کچھ لوگ کرسمس کا تہوار مناتے ہیں اپنے اس اعتقاد کی وجہ سے کے عیسی اللہ کے بیٹے ہیں۔ قرآن اس کے بارے میں کیا کہتا ہے؟

Arabic
يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا تَغۡلُواْ فِي دِينِكُمۡ وَلَا تَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَقَّۚ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُۥٓ أَلۡقَىٰهَآ إِلَىٰ مَرۡيَمَ وَرُوحٞ مِّنۡهُۖ فَـَٔامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦۖ وَلَا تَقُولُواْ ثَلَٰثَةٌۚ ٱنتَهُواْ خَيۡرٗا لَّكُمۡۚ إِنَّمَا ٱللَّهُ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۖ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥٓ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُۥ وَلَدٞۘ لَّهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلٗا ١٧١
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
People of the Book! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, and attribute to Allah nothing except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was only a Messenger of Allah, and His command that He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him (which led to Mary's conception). So believe in Allah and in His Messengers, and do not say: (Allah is a) trinity. Give up this assertion; it would be better for you. Allah is indeed just one God. Far be it from His glory that He should have a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth. Allah is sufficient for a guardian.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Aey ehle kitab! apne deen mein ghulu (excess) na karo aur Allah ki taraf haqq ke siwa koi baat mansoob na karo, Maseeh Isa Ibne Mariyam iske siwa kuch na tha ke Allah ka ek Rasool tha aur ek farmaan tha jo Allah ne Maryam ki taraf bheja aur ek Rooh thi Allah ki taraf se (jisne Maryam ke reham mein bacchey ki shakal ikhtiyar ki) pas tum Allah aur uske Rasoolon par iman lao, aur na kaho ke “Teen (trinity)” hain baaz aa jao , yeh tumhare hi liye behtar hai, Allah to bas ek hi khuda hai , woh baala-tar hai issey ke koi uska beta ho. Zameen aur aasmano ki saari cheezein uski milk hain, aur inki kafalat o khabargiri ke liye bas wahi kaafi hai
Arabic
لَّن يَسۡتَنكِفَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ أَن يَكُونَ عَبۡدٗا لِّلَّهِ وَلَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَۚ وَمَن يَسۡتَنكِفۡ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَيَسۡتَكۡبِرۡ فَسَيَحۡشُرُهُمۡ إِلَيۡهِ جَمِيعٗا ١٧٢
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
The Messiah neither did disdain to be a servant of Allah nor do the angels who are stationed near to Him; and whoever disdains to serve Him, and waxes arrogant, Allah will certainly muster them all to Him.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Maseeh ne kabhi is baat ko aar (disdain) nahin samjha ke woh Allah ka banda ho, aur na muqarrab-tareen farishtey isko apne liye aar (disdain) samajhte hain. Agar koi Allah ki bandagi ko apne liye aar samajhta hai aur taqabbur karta hai to ek waqt aayega jab Allah sabko gher kar apne saamne haazir karega
Arabic
لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَارٖ ٧٢
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
And surely they disbelieved when they said: 'Christ, the son of Mary, is indeed God'; whereas Christ had said: 'Children of Israel! Serve Allah, Who is your Lord and my Lord.' Allah has forbidden Paradise to those who associate anything with Him in His divinity and their refuge shall be the Fire. No one will be able to help such wrong-doers.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Yaqeenan kufr kiya un logon ne jinhon ne kaha ke Allah Maseeh ibne Mariyam hi hai, halanke Maseeh ne kaha tha ke “ aey bani Israel! Allah ki bandagi karo jo mera Rubb bhi hai aur tumhara Rubb bhi”. Jisne Allah ke saath kisi ko shareek thehraya uspar Allah ne Jannat haraam kardi aur uska thikana jahannum hai aur aisey zaalimon ka koi madadgaar nahin
Arabic
لَّقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَٰثَةٖۘ وَمَا مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّآ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۚ وَإِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهُواْ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٧٣
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Those who said: 'Allah is one of the Three', certainly they disbelieved, for there is no god save the One God. And if they do not give up this claim, all who have disbelieved among them shall be subjected to painful chastisement.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Yaqeenan kufr kiya un logon ne jinhon ne kaha ke Allah teen (trinity)mein ka ek hai, halaanke ek khuda ke siwa koi khuda nahin hai. Agar yeh log apni in baaton se baaz na aaye to inmein se jis jisne kufr kiya hai usko dardnaak saza di jayegi
Arabic
أَفَلَا يَتُوبُونَ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَيَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَهُۥۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٧٤
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Will they not, then, turn to Allah in repentance, and ask for His forgiveness? Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Phir kya yeh Allah se tauba na karenge aur ussey maafi na maangenge? Allah bahut darguzar farmane wala aur reham karne wala hai
Arabic
مَّا ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ إِلَّا رَسُولٞ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِهِ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَأُمُّهُۥ صِدِّيقَةٞۖ كَانَا يَأۡكُلَانِ ٱلطَّعَامَۗ ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱنظُرۡ أَنَّىٰ يُؤۡفَكُونَ ٧٥
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
The Messiah, son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger before whom many Messengers have passed away; and his mother adhered wholly to truthfulness, and they both ate food (as other mortals do). See how We make Our signs clear to them; and see where they are turning away!
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Maseeh ibne Mariyam iske siwa kuch nahin ke bas ek Rasool tha, ussey pehle aur bhi bahut se Rasool guzar chuke thay, uski Maa ek raast-baaz(righteous) aurat thi, aur woh dono khana khate thay, dekho hum kis tarah inke saamne haqeeqat ki nishaniyan wazeh karte hain, phir dekho yeh kidhar ulte phire jatey hain
Arabic
قُلۡ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمۡلِكُ لَكُمۡ ضَرّٗا وَلَا نَفۡعٗاۚ وَٱللَّهُ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٧٦
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Say: 'Do you serve, beside Allah, that which has no power either to harm or benefit you, whereas Allah alone is All-Hearing, All-Knowing?'
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Insey kaho, kya tum Allah ko chodh kar uski parastish karte ho jo na tumhare liye nuqsaan ka ikhtiyar rakhta hai na nafey ka? Halanke sabki sunney wala aur sabkuch jaanne wala to Allah hi hai
Arabic
قُلۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا تَغۡلُواْ فِي دِينِكُمۡ غَيۡرَ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَ قَوۡمٖ قَدۡ ضَلُّواْ مِن قَبۡلُ وَأَضَلُّواْ كَثِيرٗا وَضَلُّواْ عَن سَوَآءِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ ٧٧
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Say: 'People of the Book! Do not go beyond bounds in your religion at the cost of truth, and do not follow the caprices of the people who fell into error before, and caused others to go astray, and strayed far away from the right path.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Kaho, aey ehle kitab! Apne deen mein na-haqq ghulu (go beyond bounds/ commit excess) na karo aur un logon ke taqelaat (inclinations/khwahishat) ki pairwi na karo jo tumse pehle khud gumraah huey aur bahuton ko gumrah kiya, aur “ sawa e sabeel (right path)” se bhatak gaye
Arabic
لُعِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۢ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ عَلَىٰ لِسَانِ دَاوُۥدَ وَعِيسَى ٱبۡنِ مَرۡيَمَۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَواْ وَّكَانُواْ يَعۡتَدُونَ ٧٨
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Those of the Children of Israel who took to unbelief have been cursed by the tongue of David and Jesus, son of Mary, for they rebelled and exceeded the bounds of right.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Bani Israel mein se jin logon ne kufr ki raah ikhtiyar ki unpar Dawood aur Isa Ibn Mariyam ki zubaan se lanat ki gayi, kyunke woh sarkash ho gaye thay aur zyadatiyan karne lagey thay
Arabic
وَقَالَتِ ٱلۡيَهُودُ عُزَيۡرٌ ٱبۡنُ ٱللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَٰرَى ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ ٱللَّهِۖ ذَٰلِكَ قَوۡلُهُم بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡۖ يُضَٰهِـُٔونَ قَوۡلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَبۡلُۚ قَٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۖ أَنَّىٰ يُؤۡفَكُونَ ٣٠
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
[9:30] The Jews say: "Ezra ('Uzayr) is Allah's son," and the Christians say: "The Messiah is the son of Allah." These are merely verbal assertions in imitation of the sayings of those unbelievers who preceded them. May Allah ruin them. How do they turn away from the Truth?
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Yahudi kehte hain ke Uzair Allah ka beta hai aur isayi kehte hain ke Maseeh Allah ka beta hai. Yeh be-haqeeqat baatein hain jo woh apni zubaano se nikalte hain un logon ki dekha dekhi jo unsey pehle kufr mein mubtila huey thay. Khuda ki maar inpar, yeh kahan se dhoka kha rahey hain
Arabic
ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ أَحۡبَارَهُمۡ وَرُهۡبَٰنَهُمۡ أَرۡبَابٗا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَسِيحَ ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓاْ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَٰهٗا وَٰحِدٗاۖ لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٣١
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
[9:31] They take their rabbis and their monks for their lords apart from Allah, and also the Messiah, son of Mary, whereas they were commanded to worship none but the One True God. There is no god but He. Exalted be He above those whom they associate with Him in His Divinity.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Inhon ne apne ulema aur darweshiyon ko Allah ke siwa apna Rubb bana liya hai aur isi tarah Maseeh ibn Maryam ko bhi, halanke inko ek mabood ke siwa kisi ki bandagi karne ka hukum nahin diya gaya tha, woh jiske siwa koi mustahiq e ibadat nahin. Paak hai woh in mushrikana baaton se jo yeh log karte hain
