إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ قَدۡ ضَلُّواْ ضَلَٰلَۢا بَعِيدًا
Indeed those who are faithless and bar [others] from the way of Allah, have certainly strayed into far error.
Ali Muhammad Fazil Chinoy Commentary
Commentary on Quran 4:163-171
God has warned Christians not to believe in Christ as son of God, forHe is self existent and nothing has He given birth to, neither has He a partner. He is Self-sufficient and Indispensable to Creation. At the same timeHis Prophets are Immaculates, trained on the Right Path and they are Divine Lights, although they are like men, but they are from Heaven above, whereas humans in general are fromt he earth who had to study and get guidance under them. Except Shias all others look upon Prophts as ordinary humans. This is one of themain cuases of the split. Jesus himelf affirst (St. John 1:18, “No man hath seen God at any time.” (How can He be then Father of anybody leaving Jesus aside?)
