Transliteration:( Mal Maseehub nu Maryama illaa Rasoolun qad khalat min qablihir Rusulu wa ummuhoo siddeeqatun kaanaa yaa kulaanit ta'aam; unzur kaifa nubaiyinu lahumul Aayaati summan zur annaa yu'fakoon )
222. The word "is not" is used for negation, i.e. Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) is neither Allah nor the son of Allah but he is the servant and prophet of Allah Almighty. It does not mean that Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) did not possess any other qualities besides prophethood. He is the Word of Allah, the Spirit of Allah as well as the Messiah. Likewise, in "Say you apparently in the facial outlook of a man, I am like you" (S18:V110) the meaning of negation is as above.
223. The truthful person is he who does not talk lies while a faithful person is he who does not have the capacity to tell a lie. From this we learn that if any people exaggerate about the pious persons, you should not revile these pious people, instead refute the claims of these people in order to maintain the dignity of the pious. Observe, when the Nasara have called Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) and Bibi Mariam as gods, Allah Almighty has referred to these pious persons with dignity. Remember, that the mention of food in this verse is to show that food is an important source for worship. Before the time of eating, at the time of earning lawful sustenance, for the energizing of his limbs, after eating, for its digestion, etc. the person is totally dependent on Allah. Every work is done for the purpose of earning a livelihood, while all types of sicknesses are due to poor eating habits.

100. In these few words the Christian doctrine of the divinity of Christ is repudiated. The nature of the Messiah is clear from the indications given here; he was merely a human being. He was one born from the womb of a woman, who had a known genealogy, who possessed a physical body, who was subject to all the limitations of a human being and who had all the attributes characteristic of human beings. He slept, ate, felt the discomfort of heat and cold and was so human that he was even put to the test by Satan. How could any reasonable person believe that such a being was either God or a partner or associate of God in His godhead? But the Christians continue to insist on the divinity of the Messiah, whose life has been portrayed in their own Scriptures as that of a human. The fact of the matter is that they do not believe at all in the historical Messiah. They have woven a Messiah out of their imagination and have deified that imaginary being.
