الآية رقم (49) - وَرَسُولاً إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنِّي قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِآيَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ أَنِّي أَخْلُقُ لَكُم مِّنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ فَأَنفُخُ فِيهِ فَيَكُونُ طَيْرًا بِإِذْنِ اللّهِ وَأُبْرِىءُ الأكْمَهَ والأَبْرَصَ وَأُحْيِـي الْمَوْتَى بِإِذْنِ اللّهِ وَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَمَا تَدَّخِرُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَةً لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

(49) - (And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah. And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.)

( وَرَسُولًا إِلَىٰ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ) (And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel ): We all know that Jesus Christ (PBUH) was sent to the Children of Israel.

( أَنِّي قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِآيَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ) (…‘Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord ): A sign means a miracle: a supernatural act by a person claiming to be a prophet to prove such a claim. Among the miracles of the Masih (PBUH):

( أَنِّي أَخْلُقُ لَكُم مِّنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ فَأَنفُخُ فِيهِ فَيَكُونُ طَيْرًا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ) (…in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah): Creating something from scratch is only an attribute of Allah (swt). However, Jesus designs a bird from clay which is a very normal thing, then breathes into it, and it becomes a living bird by the permission of Allah (swt), which is the unnormal thing.

( وَأُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَالْأَبْرَصَ ) (…And I cure the blind and the leper ): The Masih (PBUH) used to pass his hand over the blind -a person who lost the eyesight since birth- and the leper -whose skin is white due to a gland malfunction- and they (the blind and the leper) are cured.

( وَأُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ) (…and I give life to the dead – by permission of Allah ): We all know that everyone has their own fate. Nonetheless, Jesus (PBUH) used, as clerics say, to tell a dead person to rise, then they rise and die again. It’s such a miracle Jesus used to show to people that he brings the dead back to life by the permission of Allah (swt).

( وَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَمَا تَدَّخِرُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ ) (…And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses ): I tell you about the food you store and what you eat at your houses.

( إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ) (…Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers): But nothing will convince you if you’re disbelievers. That’s why the Children of Israel denied everything.
