Surah 19. Maryam, Ayah 34
| ذَٰلِكَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۚ قَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِي فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | dhaalika cesaa ibn maryam qawl al- h.aqq 'alladhe fe -hi yamtaron |
| Pickthall | : | Such was Jesus, son of Mary: (this is) a statement of the truth concerning which they doubt. |
| Asad | : | SUCH WAS, in the words of truth, Jesus the son of Mary, about whose nature they so deeply disagree.25 |
| Malik | : | Such was Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam, and this is the True statement about him concerning which they are in doubt. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth about which they (vainly) dispute. 2486 |
Note - 25Lit., "about whom they are in doubt", or "about whom they
[vainly] dispute": an allusion to the many conflicting
views about the nature of Jesus and his origins, ranging
from the blasphemous Jewish assertion that he was a
"false prophet" and the product of a shameful, illicit
union (cf. 4:156), to the Christian belief that he was
"the son of God" and, therefore, God incarnate. In this
connection, see also 3:59 and the corresponding note
[47].

Note - 2486The disputations about the nature of Jesus Christ were
vain, but also persistent and sanguinary. The modern
Christian churches have thrown them into the background,
but they would do well to abandon irrational dogmas
altogether.
