Allah said,
[فَـَامَنَت
طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّن بَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ وَكَفَرَت طَّآئِفَةٌ]
(Then a group of the Children of Israel believed and a group disbelieved.)
When `Isa, peace be on him, conveyed the Message of his Lord to his people and
the disciples supported him, a group from the Children of Israel believed. They
accepted the guidance that `Isa brought to them, while another group, was led
astray. This group rejected what `Isa brought them, denied his prophethood and
invented terrible lies about him and his mother. They are the Jews, may Allah
curse them until the Day of Judgement. Another group exaggerated over `Isa,
until they elevated him to more than the level of prophethood that Allah gave
him. They divided into sects and factions, some saying that `Isa was the son of
Allah, while others said that he was one in a trinity, and this is why they
invoke the father, the son and the holy ghost! Some of them said that `Isa was
Allah, as we mentioned in the Tafsir of Surat An-Nisa'.
