Reproduced

* Note: 002:254. . The two-worded رُوۡحِ الۡقُدُسِ‌ phrase has been used in the Holy Qor-aan several times. Translations vary as to the exact meanings of this phrase.

Some have referred to it as The Spirit of Holiness. This would be internal quality infused in the subject which in this case is Jesus Son of Mary.

            Some have referred to it as Holy Spirit or the Arch angel Gabriel or Jibraeel in the Arabic.  This would be an external force applied or outside person deputed to support the subject which in this case is Jesus Son of Mary.

            Either of the two translations appear accurate. They describe a special blessings that the Almighty God conferred on Jesus and specified him in this verse as one of His Messengers.

** Note: Two Arabic words اِنَّ and لَ have very similar meanings. They are used in the same one clause or sentence to create extreme emphasis. The English equivalents for both the words are almost the same. Instead of using the same word twice (‘certainly’, certainly’) in the translation of the same one verse, a more appropriate expression ‘most certainly’ has been used because that conveys better the real intent of the original text clearly. Extreme emphasis has been created this way in many places in the Holy Qor-aan. Examples including this verse can be seen in 014:008, 092:005, 100:007, 100:006; 100:009, 100:012; 103:003.

Then you were the very people killing some of yourselves
And expelling a group among you from their homes
Overpowering* them with sin and aggression.
And if they come to you as captives you pay for them
And expelling them was unlawful for you in the first place.
Do you then believe in one part of the Book
And you reject some other?
So what (or no) penalty is there for anyone among you
Who does that except humiliation in the life here
And on Judgment Day they will be turned over to severe punishment.
And Allah is not unmindful relative to what you do.

وَاِذۡ اَخَذۡنَا مِيۡثَاقَ بَنِىۡٓ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَ لَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ وَبِالۡوَالِدَيۡنِ اِحۡسَانًا وَّذِى الۡقُرۡبٰى وَالۡيَتٰمٰى وَالۡمَسٰکِيۡنِ وَقُوۡلُوۡا لِلنَّاسِ حُسۡنًا وَّاَقِيۡمُواالصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّکٰوةَ ؕ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا مِّنۡکُمۡ وَاَنۡـتُمۡ مُّعۡرِضُوۡنَ‏

 

Wa-iz-aa-khuz-naa-mee-thaa-qa-ba-nee-is-raa-ee-la
Laa-tau-bo-doo-na-il-lul-laa-ha
Wa-bil-waa-lay-dai-nay-aih-saa-nun
Wa-zil-qoor-baa-wul-ya-taa-maa-wul-ma-saa-kee-nay

And recall when We took the Pledge from all children of Israel
“You worship none except Allah.
And treat with kindness the parents
And the kindred and the orphans and the poor.
And speak to the people of good things.
And establish the prayer and bring about the purification of earnings.”
Then you turned away except a few of you.
And you were averse to fulfill the Covenant.

* Note 002:084a.   The first 5 words وَاِذۡ اَخَذۡنَا مِيۡثَاقَ  in verses 002:064, 002:085 and 002:094 are the same.   They remind the addressees of a Covenant whereby the Almighty God conferred certain special favors upon the Children of Israel and mandated on them specific task to perform.   Nearly 2,600 years history as of today shows that the House of Israel has been blessed time and again even after their violating their Covenant and not doing the assigned tasks.   Some terms of the pledge with added perfections (005:004) are mandated on Moslems (002:178, 031:015/016).

** Note 002:084b.   Two of the tasks اَقِيۡمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّکٰوةَ mentioned in verse 002:044 and repeated and repeated several times (See Note to verse 002:044 and our Commentary “Islam – Zakaat“) are to establish the prayers and purify one’s earnings by paying a part thereof for good causes.   Jews were commanded that way first.  Moslems are commanded exactly that way too.    The logical question raised in our Commentary Are Jews and Moslems alike, therefore, is that should not Moslems be also subject to  similar rewards and retributions.   Our answer is a big YES.

The Covenant besides the above-mentioned two components included the following.
1. Worship none except Allah.
2. Treat with kindness the parents, relatives, orphans and the poor.
3. Speak to the people of good things.
