Qur’an lesson for today: And when the son of Mary is mentioned as an instance, lo! they people raise a clamour thereat;

[43:58] And when the son of Mary is mentioned as an instance, lo! thy people raise a clamour thereat;

Note: The advent of the Messiah was a sign that the Jews were going to be disgraced and humiliated and were about to be deprived of Prophethood for all time. Mathal signifying anything similar or equal to another, the verse, besides the meaning given in the text, may also signify that when the people of the Holy Prophet – the Muslims – are told that another person, who would be like Jesus and would be his counterpart, would be raised from among them to regenerate them and restore their lost spiritual glory, instead of being glad over this good tidings, they raise a clamour. The verse may thus be taken as referring to the Second Coming of Jesus
