1) What did Isa AS used to differ about? 

Quran 3:49

This verse is part of a broader context where Allah describes the miracles and the role of Isa (Jesus) in his prophetic mission. The verse reads:

"And [I will make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [saying], ‘Indeed, I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I design for you from clay [what is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah. And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you if you are believers.’"

Godly Powers Given to Isa AS: This verse describes several miracles performed by Isa (AS) through the permission and power of Allah. These miracles include:

Creating a bird from clay and breathing life into it.

Healing the blind and the leper.

Reviving the dead.

Providing knowledge of hidden things, such as what people eat and store in their homes.

These miracles are presented as signs of Isa’s (AS) prophethood and are meant to affirm his divine mission and the truth of his message. However, it’s crucial to understand that while Isa (AS) performed these miracles, they were granted to him by Allah’s permission. In Islamic belief, such powers do not make Isa (AS) divine but rather affirm his role as a prophet and a servant of Allah.

Quran 3:55

In this verse, Allah is addressing Isa (AS) and recounting an important conversation between them. The verse reads:

"Mention [O Muhammad] when Allah said, ‘O Isa, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] more [secure] than those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then you will return to Me, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ.’"

What Isa AS Used to Differ About: The verse refers to the differences that existed between Isa (AS) and those who opposed his message. These differences were primarily about the truth of his message and the nature of his mission. The people who disbelieved in Isa (AS) rejected his teachings and questioned his prophethood, while those who believed in him accepted his message and followed Allah’s guidance as delivered by him.

This verse indicates that there were disputes and misunderstandings about Isa’s (AS) teachings and his status, especially regarding his nature and his role. The promise in the verse is that Allah will clarify these differences and provide justice regarding the matters in dispute when Isa (AS) returns and all are judged based on their beliefs and actions.
