Attitude of Jews towards Rasools.
(5:70 & 71) Allah reminds that He took the covenant and pledges from the Children of Israel to hear and obey Him and His Messenger. They broke these pledges and covenants and followed their lusts and desires instead of the law, and whichever part of the law they agreed with, they took it. Otherwise they abandoned it, if it did not conform to their desires. They thought that they will not suffer any consequences for the evil they committed. Consequently, they were blinded from truth and became deaf, incapable of hearing the truth. For these reasons they were unable to be guided by it.
The disbelief of Christians; Isa only called to Tawhid.
(5:72) Allah states that the Christians such sects as Monarchite, Jacobite and Nestorite are disbelievers, those among them who say that 'Isa is Allah'. Allah is far holier than what they attribute to him. They made this claim in spite of the fact that Isa made it known that he was the servant of Allah and His Messenger. The first words that Isa uttered when he was still a baby in the cradle were "I am Abdullah ( the servant of Allah)." He did not say "I am Allah", or "I am the Son of Allah."
(5:73) Mujahid and several other said that this ayah was revealed about the Christians in particular. As Suddi and several others said that this ayah was revealed about taking Isa and his mother as Gods besides Allah, thus making Allah the third in a trinity.
(5:74) This demonstrates Allah's generosity, kindness and mercy for His creatures, even though they committed this grave sin and invented such a lie and false allegation. Despite all of this, Allah calls them to repent so that he will forgive them, for Allah forgives those who sincerely repent to Him.
Isa is Allah's servant and his mother is a truthful Believer.
(5:75) Isa is just like previous Prophets, and he is one of the servants of Allah and one of His honorable Messengers.
(...wa ummahu siddiqah...) meaning Isa's mother was a Siddiqah. She believed in Allah with complete trust in Him.This is the highest rank she was given, which proves that she was not a Prophet. Allah said next, (...they both used to eat food...) needing nourishment and to relieve the call of nature. Therefore they just servants like other servants, not gods as ignorant Christian sects claim, may Allah's continued curses cover them until the Day of Resurrection. Even after giving such a clear evidence still they are misguided.
The prohibition of Shirk and Exaggeration in the Religion
(5:76 & 77) Allah states that how can they worship someone who cannot prevent harm from them or bring any benefit to them. How do they worship inanimate objects that do not hear, see or know anything.
Do not exceed the limits concerning the truth and exaggeration in praising whom you are commanded to honor. Here, they they elevated Isa from the rank of Prophet to the rank of God.
