Transliteration:( Wa innal laaha Rabbee wa Rabbukum fa'budooh; haazaa Siraatum Mustaqeem )
“And Isa said, ‘Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is the straight path [60].’” (Kanzul Imaan Translation)
This is the statement of Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace), clearly declaring Allah as his and everyone’s Lord, and inviting to worship Him alone.
“This is the straight path” means the path of Tawheed, free from all forms of shirk.
In between, Allah Almighty adds His own words as a parenthetical note, but this verse is Isa’s own declaration.
The tafsir of Surah Maryam verse 36 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Maryam ayat 34 which provides the complete commentary from verse 34 through 37.
(19:36) (Jesus had said): “Indeed Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so serve Him alone. This is the Straight Way.”[23]
23. This declaration by Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) has been cited to tell the Christians that Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) also taught the same doctrine of Tauhid as was taught by all other Prophets. And it was they who had invented the doctrine of shirk by making him the son of God. Please also refer to (Surah Aal-Imran, ayat 80) note 68 and (Surah Al-Maidah, ayat 75), (Surah Al-Maidah, ayat 77), (Surah Al-Maidah, ayat 116) note 100, 101 and 130.
