    📖 Commentary of Surah Az-Zukhruf – Verse 59

    "He was only Our devotee [103] whom We favoured and We made him as example [104] for the Children of Israel."

    ✅ [103] Refutation of Divinity Claims

    This verse clarifies that these figures are neither gods nor sons of Allah Almighty. They are sincere servants of Allah. This restricts divinity to Allah alone.
    Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him) is described as the Spirit of Allah, Word of Allah, a Messenger and Prophet to whom Divine Scripture was revealed, and who foretold the coming of the Holy Prophet ﷺ.
    This verse refutes the Christian belief of Isa’s divinity and sonship, as well as the Jewish rejection of his Prophethood.
    It teaches that praising and supporting pious sages is in accordance with Allah’s way, but even when refuting incorrect beliefs about them, their lofty status should be preserved without insult.

    ✅ [104] Honor by Divine Power

    By Allah’s absolute power, these devout servants were created without a father and honored with Prophethood, serving as exemplary figures for the Children of Israel.

    Ibn-Kathir

    The tafsir of Surah Zukhruf verse 59 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Zukhruf ayat 57 which provides the complete commentary from verse 57 through 65.

    (43:59) He was no more than a servant (of Ours), one upon whom We bestowed Our favours and whom We made an example (of Our infinite power) for the Children of Israel.[53]

    Ala-Maududi

    (43:59) He was no more than a servant (of Ours), one upon whom We bestowed Our favours and whom We made an example (of Our infinite power) for the Children of Israel.[53]

    53. “We made him an example” implies causing the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) to be born without a father, and then granting him such miracles as had not been granted to anyone before him nor to anyone after him. He would make a bird of clay and then breathe into it and it would become a living bird; he would give sight to those born blind; he would cure the lepers; so much so that he would raise the dead back to life. What Allah means to say is: It is wrong to worship him as son of God and regard him as above servitude only because of his extraordinary birth and the great miracles granted to him. He was no more than a mere servant, whom We had blessed and made an example of Our power. For details, see (Surah Aal-Imran, Ayat 42-49, 59); (Surah An-Nisa, Ayat 156); (Surah Al-Maidah, Ayat 17,110); (Surah Maryam, Ayat 17-35); (Surah Al-Anbiya, Ayat 91); (Surah Al-Muminun, Ayat 50).

    (59) He [i.e., Jesus] was not but a servant upon whom We bestowed favor, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel.
