Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:
They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah, and [also] the Messiah, the son of Maryاتَّخَذُوا أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَالْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ
[At-Tawbah 9:31]
Is the coordination in the phrase “and the Messiah, son of Maryam” with the Name of Allah (al-Jalalah) or with the rabbis and monks?

Answer:
They took them as objects; it is the object of “they took.” They took their rabbis and monks as lords besides Allah, and the Messiah is coordinated with the rabbis and monks. They took him as a lord besides Allah, where they said that he is the son of Allah or the third of three. Yes.
