📖 Commentary / Tafsir of Surah Aal-e-Imran – Verse 46

"And He shall speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity [100] and will be of the righteous [101]."

✅ [100] Speech in Infancy and Return Before Qiyamah

Hazrat Isa (AS) spoke miraculously in his cradle, defending the honour of his mother.
He will also speak to people again in maturityafter his return to earth before Qiyamah, proving both his ascension to heaven and future descent as miracles.
Both instances of speech are signs of his Prophethood and divine support.

✅ [101] Qualities of Honour and Righteousness

The Qur’an highlights several unique traits of Hazrat Isa (AS):

  • He is “Ruhullah” (Spirit of Allah),

  • Al-Maseeh (the Messiah),

  • Born only of Maryam, without a father,

  • A man of worldly and heavenly honour.

On the Day of Judgment, it is through Hazrat Isa (AS) that the status of the Holy Prophet ﷺ will be known among the creation.
Thus, the praise of Prophets is a practice of Allah Himself.

May Allah grant us the guidance to honour His chosen servants.
