Why was Christ, son of Mary, included in the verse, "They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah, and the Messiah, son of Mary," even though what is meant by "taking" is obedience in deeming things lawful and unlawful, whereas Christ was explicitly worshipped, and obeying him in what is lawful and unlawful is not objectionable?
Their worship of Jesus (peace be upon him) was in taking him as a lord to be worshipped and a son of God, and this is more dangerous than mere obedience in what is lawful and unlawful.
