Muṭṭalib (i.e. Muḥammad) was indeed short-lived! Muḥammad (silenced him by)<br />
claiming that we and those gods of ours we worship are to be firewood for the Hellfire!’<br />
`Abdullaah Ibn al-Zaba`ra said: ‘By <strong>Al</strong>laah, if I were to find him saying that, I would<br />
argue with him. Ask Muḥammad: ‘Is everything which is worshiped besides <strong>Al</strong>laah,<br />
along with those who worshiped them, to be firewood for the Hell-Fire?’ We worship<br />
Angels, the Jews worship `Uzair, and the Christians worship `Eesaa.’<br />
<strong>Al</strong>-Waleed and those with him in the gathering were impressed by what Ibn al-Zaba`ra<br />
had said, and thought he had made a cogent and winning argument. This was informed<br />
to the Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah… then <strong>Al</strong>laah تعاىل revealed:<br />
﴿إُِنَُّالَّذِينَُسَبَقَت َُلَ مُمِّنَّاُاحل س نَىُأ ولَىئِكَ ُعَن هَاُم ب عَد ونَُ*ُّلَ ُيَس مَع ونَُحَسِ يسَهَاُُۖوَه م ُفِ ُمَاُ<br />
اش تَهَت ُأَنف سه م ُخَالِد ونَ﴾<br />
{Verily those for whom the good has preceded from Us, they will be removed far<br />
therefrom (Hell). They shall not hear the slightest sound of it (Hell), while they abide<br />
in that which their own selves desire.} [Surah al-Anbiyaa’ (21): 101-102]<br />
This Aayah is referring to `Eesaa, `Uzair and those rabbis and monks who lived in<br />
.تعاىل obedience to <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />
And regarding their assertion that they were worshiping Angels and that these were<br />
the daughters of <strong>Al</strong>laah, <strong>Al</strong>laah تعاىل sent down:<br />
﴿وَقَال واُاَتََّذَُالرَّمح َى ن ُوَلَد اُُۖس ب حَانَه ُُۖبَل ُعِبَاد ُمُّك رَم ونَُ*ُّلَ ُيَس بِق ونَه ُبِال قَو لِ ُوَه ُمُبِأَم رِهُِيَع مَل ونَُ*ُ<br />
يَع لَم ُمَاُبَني َُأَي دِيهِم ُوَمَاُخَل فَه م ُوَّلَ ُيَش فَع ونَُإِّلَّ ُلِمَنُِار تَضَىُوَه مُمِّن ُخَش يَتِهُِم ش فِق ونَُُ*ُوَمَنُيَق ل ُ<br />
مِن ه م ُإِِنِّ ُإِلَى ه ُمِّنُد ونِهُِفََذى لِكَ ُجنَ زِيهُِجَهَنَّمَُ ُۖكَ َذى لِكَ ُجنَ زِيُالظَّالِمِنيَ﴾<br />
{And they say: “The Most Beneficent (<strong>Al</strong>laah) has begotten a son (or children).” Glory<br />
to Him! They [those whom they call children of <strong>Al</strong>laah i.e. the Angels, `Eesa Ibn<br />
Maryam, `Uzair, etc.], are but honored slaves. They speak not until He has spoken,<br />
and they act on His Command. He knows what is before them, and what is behind<br />
them, and they cannot intercede except for him with whom He is pleased. And they<br />
stand in awe for fear of Him. And if any of them should say: “Verily, I am an ilaah (a<br />
god) besides Him (<strong>Al</strong>laah),” such a one We should recompense with Hell. Thus We<br />
