سُوْرَةُ المَآئِدَةِ
Surah Al-Maaida (5) — Ayah 72
لَقَدْ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۖ وَقَالَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ يَـٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّى وَرَبَّكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُ ۖ وَمَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ ﴿72﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allâh is the Messiah [‘Îsâ (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah [‘Îsâ (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allâh, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allâh, then Allâh has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
Indeed, those who say, "The Messiah, son of Mary, is Allah," have certainly disbelieved [119]. While the Messiah himself said, "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever associates partners with Allah, Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and his abode will be the Fire. And the wrongdoers will have no helpers.

The Divinity of the Messiah and the Teachings of Sayyiduna Isa:
There are various beliefs among the different sects of Christians regarding Isa (علیہ السلام). Some consider him a part of the doctrine of Trinity or one among three gods. Some regard him as the son of Allah, and some consider him to be Allah Himself, saying that Allah incarnated in the body of Isa (علیہ السلام) and that he was a manifestation of Allah Himself. The common factor among all three views is the belief in the divinity of the Messiah. That is, all sects consider him, in one way or another, to be divine. Allah Almighty has answered this by stating that Isa (علیہ السلام) himself used to say: Worship only Allah, Who is my Lord and your Lord, the Lord of all. That is, he himself acknowledged that he worships Allah and is His servant. Now, whoever is a servant of someone cannot be his partner, and whoever is a partner cannot be his servant. Therefore, take heed and refrain from making him a partner of Allah. Because whoever associates anyone with Allah will have to burn in Hell forever. Then, neither Isa (علیہ السلام) will be able to save them there, nor will anyone else be able to help them in any way.
