"When Allah will say: 'O Isa, son of Maryam, remember My favour upon you and your mother [297] when I supported you with the Holy Spirit. You spoke to the people in the cradle and as an adult. And remember when I taught you the Book, wisdom, the Torah, and the Injeel [298]. When you fashioned from clay the likeness of a bird by My permission, then breathed into it, and it became a bird by My permission. And you healed the blind and the leper by My permission, and you brought the dead to life by My permission. And when I restrained the Children of Israel from you when you came to them with clear proofs, and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is nothing but clear magic" [299].'"
Allah bestowed great honour upon Isa (AS)—making him "Kalimatullah" and "Ruhullah", and appointing Jibraeel (AS) as his personal helper. His mother, Maryam (AS), was declared the noblest of women, with Allah defending her against the accusations of the Yahud by causing infant Isa (AS) to speak from the cradle in her defense.
Isa (AS) was divinely taught the Book, wisdom, Torah, and Injeel. This affirms that Prophets are taught directly by Allah. On his first coming, he upheld the Torah and Injeel, and on his second return, he will follow and uphold the Qur’an and Hadith—without learning from anyone, as these will be inherently placed in his heart.
Isa (AS) shaped birds from clay and blew into them, reviving them by Allah’s command. This miracle supports the practice of incantation (blowing) as a spiritual cure. Like Jibraeel (AS) blowing into Maryam’s garment, and Israfeel (AS) blowing the trumpet on Judgment Day, spiritual breath holds power by divine will.
Isa (AS) cured the blind and lepers through his blessed breath, again by Allah’s permission. Such healing miracles are comparable to Zamzam, the sand of Madinah, and the water of Ayub (AS), all of which carry divinely bestowed cures.
Isa (AS) revived even long-deceased souls, such as Sham bin Nuh (AS). This proves that Allah can give life to the dead through His Prophets and saints. Similar accounts—such as Ghaus-e-Azam reviving a sunken ship—demonstrate the spiritual legacy of divine miracles beyond time.
The phrase “when I restrained the Children of Israel from you” refers to Allah rescuing Isa (AS) when the Yahud tried to crucify him. Instead of dying, he was raised alive to the heavens, leaving his enemies in confusion and failure.
Since medicine was highly valued in Isa's time, Allah gave him miracles of healing, just as sorcery was widespread in Musa’s era, and thus he was given miracles superior to sorcery. Had Mirza Ghulam Qadiani been a true prophet, he would have outshone modern science and technology, which dominate the present age. His lack thereof proves otherwise.
110. (Remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): “O `Isa, son of Maryam! Remember My favor to you and to your mother when I supported you with Ruh – il-Qudus ﴿Jibril﴾ so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and when I taught you the Book, the Hikmah, the Tawrah and the Injil; and when you made out of the clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My permission, and you breathed into it, and it became a bird by My permission, and you healed those born blind, and the lepers by My permission, and when you brought forth the dead by My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from you since you came unto them with clear proofs, and the disbelievers among them said: `This is nothing but evident magic.”’ 111. “And when I Awhaytu ﴿put in the hearts of﴾ Al- Hawariyyin to believe in Me and My Messenger, they said: `We believe. And bear witness that we are Muslims.”’
Allah mentions how He blessed His servant and Messenger, `Isa, son of Maryam, and the miracles and extraordinary acts He granted him. Allah said,
(Remember My favor to you) when I created you from your mother, without male intervention, and made you a sign and clear proof of My perfect power over all things. d
(And to your mother) when I made you testify to her chastity and you thus absolved her from the sin that the unjust, ignorant liars accused her of,
(when I supported you with Ruh – il-Qudus) the angel Jibril, and made you a Prophet, calling to Allah in the cradle and manhood. I made you speak in the cradle, and you testified that your mother was free from any immoral behavior, and you proclaimed that you worship Me. You also conveyed the news of My Message and invited them to worship Me.
(so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity;) Meaning you called the people to Allah in childhood and in maturity. And the word Tukallim means invited, because his speaking to people while a child is nothing strange by itself. Allah’s statement,
(And when I taught you the Book and the Hikmah,) the power of writing and understanding,
(and the Tawrah,) which was revealed to Musa, son of `Imran, who spoke to Allah directly. Allah’s statement,
(and when you made out of the clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My permission,) means: `you shaped it in the figure of a bird by My permission, and it became a bird with My permission, after you blew into it’. Then, it became a flying bird with a soul by Allah’s permission. Allah said;
(and you healed those born blind, and the lepers by My permission,) This was explained before in Surah Al `Imran (chapter 3) and we do not need to repeat it here. Allah’s statement,
(And when you brought forth the dead by My permission,) meaning, you called them and they rose from their graves by Allah’s leave, power, lntent and will. Allah said next,
(and when I restrained the Children of Israel from you since you came unto them with clear proofs, and the disbelievers among them said: “This is nothing but evident magic.”) Meaning: `remember My favor, when I stopped the Children of Israel from harming you, when you brought them the clear proofs and evidence, testifying to your prophethood and Message from Me to them. They rejected you and accused you of being a magician and tried to kill you by crucifixion, but I saved you, raised you to Me, purified you from their vulgarity and protected you from their harm.’ The wording of this Ayah indicates that `Isa will be reminded of these favors on the Day of Resurrection. Allah used the past tense in these Ayat indicating that it is a forgone matter that will certainly occur. This Ayah also contains some of the secrets of the Unseen that Allah revealed to His Messenger Muhammad . Allah said,
(And when I (Allah) Awhaytu Al-Hawariyyin to believe in Me and My Messenger.) This is also a reminder of Allah’s favor on `Isa, by making discples and companions for him. It is also said that Awhaytu in the Ayah means, `inspired’, just as in another Ayah, Allah said;
(And We inspired the mother of Musa (saying): Suckle him…) ﴿28:7﴾. Allah said in other Ayat,
(And your Lord Awha (inspired) the bee, saying: “Take habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect. Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you).”) ﴿16:68-69﴾ Al-Hasan Al-Basri commented about the Hawariyyun, “Allah inspired them”, while As-Suddi said, “`He put in their hearts,” and the Hawariyyun said,
(We believe. And bear witness that we are Muslims.)
(5:110) Imagine, then, when Allah will say:[125] ‘Jesus, son of Mary, recall My favour upon you and your mother, and when I strengthened you with the spirit of holiness so that you talked to men in the cradle and also when you became of age; and when I taught you the Book and Wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel; and when, by My leave, you fashioned from clay the likeness of a bird and you breathed into it, and by My leave it became a bird; you healed, by My leave, the blind from birth and the leprous; and when, by My leave, you caused the dead to come to life.[126] And recall when I restrained the Israelites from you when you came to them with clear proofs whereupon those of them who disbelieved said: “This is nothing but clear magic.”
125. The initial question would be addressed to all Prophets as such. Then each of them would be called upon to bear witness separately, as stated in several places in the Qur’an. In this connection the question that will be addressed to Jesus is specifically mentioned here.
126. That is, with God’s command Jesus brought people to life from the state of death.
