قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

تهمت اهل کتاب به حضرت مریم(س)

منظور از این تهمت بزرگه» تهمت زناست. چنان‌که قرآن در یه ۲۷ سور مریم(س) به آن اشاره دارد و می‌فرماید: «(مریم) در حالی که او [عیسی] را در آغوش گرفته بود. نزد قومش آورد. آنها گفتند: ای مریم کار بسیار عجیب و بدی انجام دادی.» این اعتقاد در بارة مریم(س)» هم کفر است و هم تهمت و افترا؛ چرا که حضرت عیسی(ع) در همان گهواره به مردم گفت: «من بندةٌ خدا هستم. او به من کتاب (آسمانی) داده و مرا پیامبر قرار داده است.» (مریم - ۳۰). پس آن حضرت با تکلم خود در گهواره ثابت کرد که من طاهرم و از مادری پاک به دنیا آمده‌ام. خداوند در باه زشتی و عقوبت چنین افترایی در أَیةٌ ۲۳ سورة نور فرموده است: «کسانی که زنان پاکدامن و بی‌خبر (از هر گونه آلودگی) و موْمن را متهم می‌کنند. در دنیا و آخرت لعنت می‌شوند و عذاب بزرگی برای آنهاست.»
