قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ : ﴿ يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا أَنصَارَ اللَّهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيِّينَ مَنْ أَنصَارِى إِلَى اللَّهِ قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنصَارُ اللَّهِ فَآمَنَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَفَرَتْ طَائِفَةٌ فَأَيَّدْنَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا عَلَى عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا ظَاهِرِينَ

He said after that: 'O you who have believed, be supporters of Allah, as Jesus, the son of Mary, said to the disciples, "Who are my supporters for Allah?" The disciples said, "We are supporters of Allah." And a faction of the Children of Israel believed and a faction disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became dominant.'

فَعِيسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ هُوَ خَاتَمُ أَنْبِيَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَدْ قَامَ فِيهِمْ خَطِيباً فَبَشَّرَهُمْ بِخَاتَمِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ الْآتِي بَعْدَهُ وَنَوَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ وَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ صِفَتَهُ لِيَعْرِفُوهُ وَيُتَابِعُوهُ إِذَا شَاهَدُوهُ ، إِقَامَةً لِلْحُجَّةِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَإِحْسَاناً مِنَ اللَّهِ إِلَيْهِمْ

Jesus, peace be upon him, is the last of the prophets of the Children of Israel. He stood among them as an orator, giving them good news of the Seal of the Prophets who would come after him, mentioning his name and describing his attributes so they would recognize and follow him when they witnessed him, as a proof against them and a favor from Allah to them.

كَمَا قَالَ تَعَالَى : ﴿ الَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ الرَّسُولَ النَّبِيَّ الْأُمِّيَّ الَّذِي يَجِدُونَهُ مَكْتُوباً عِنْدَهُمْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَالْأَغْلَالَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِهِ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَاتَّبَعُوا النُّورَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ مَعَهُ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

As Allah the Exalted said: 'Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.'
