BISMILLAHIRRAHMAANIRRAHIIM
Let me talk to my dear Muslim Brothers and Sisters who read this forum.
Asslammu'alaikum.
We know already, there are certain kind of tests for those who admitted to translate and interpret or make the commentaries of the verses in Al-Qur'an. You have to pass those test.
Let me give you a nice website related to this.

The mufassir must:

2.Well-grounded in the knowledge of Arabic and its rules as a language.
3.Well-grounded in other sciences that are connected with the study of the Qur'ân (e.g. 'ilm al-riwâya).
4.Have the ability for precise comprehension.
5.Abstain from the use of mere opinion.
6.Begin the tafsîr of the Qur'ân with the Qur'ân.

8.Refer to the reports from the sahâba.

Please read more for your knowledge about TAFSIR and MUFASSIRIN.
Now, when you see the moves Apple Pie in this forum, is he/she has a quality to make any tafsir?
The way he (just say he) did it, of course a nice move. But is it consider finished just by making hundreds of LEXICON etc? the answer a BIG NO!!. Not to mention he made up everything base on his faith.
Let't take a look at the criteria no
8.Refer to the reports from the sahâba. He doesn't care about this.
This is the AZBAB AL NUZUL of surah 3:59 (which is under discussion).
Translation:
003.059
The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.

About this verse.
The scholars of tafseer said that a delegation from Najraan said to Allah's Messenger (bpuh): "Why do you slander our Master [i.e. 'Eesa (Jesus)]?" He asked: "And what is it that I say?" They replied: "You say that he is a slave!" He answered: "Yes, he is Allah's slave and His Messenger, and His Word which He spoke to the virgin Mary." Then they became angry and said: "Have you ever seen a man without a father? If you are truthful, then show us his like!" Then Allah, Almighty, All-Powerful revealed this verse.
It is reported from Al-Hasan that he said: "Two monks from Najraan came to the Prophet (bpuh) and he explained Islam to them, but one of them said: 'We have submitted ourselves (to Allah) before you.' He (bpuh) replied: 'You lie. Three things prevent you from (true) submission: Your worship of the cross, your eating swine flesh and your saying that Allah has a son.' They asked: '(Then) who is the father of 'Eesa?' But he did not reply until Allah, the Most High revealed: {The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Aadam; He created him from dust, then said to him "Be " - and he was}."
That' what we call "
reports from the sahâba" this thing is missing from Apple Pie's argument.
Too obvious now. the works of Apple Pie is useless.
Wassalammu'alaikum.
