Muslims cling to 3:59 as their consort in wedlock authorizing deification of their theory of Virgin Birth. |
|
|
|
|
|
They say as 'with one voice' that there is no statement on record attributed to Muhammad as having said that Jesus was born without a father. But strangely, as 'with one heart' they worship in faith Mary's Immaculate Conception. |
|
|
|
|
|
Allah spoke out. Verse 3:59 can very well be regarded as a masterpiece of 'Divine Talk' on the matter and Muhammad's interpretation of it in his argument with the Najran Deputation, the most glorious Debate history has ever recorded. |
|
|
|
|
|
How then has the Muslim nations faltered? The story is documented seperately. |
|
|
|
|
|
Allah's Statement is recorded in the Holy Qur'an whereas the arguments of Muhammad with the deputation is narrated in the Hadith / Tafsir and no one took the trouble to align one with the other. |
|
|
|
|
|
WHY?
|
|
|
|
|
|
The reason being the Ulemas inscribed in red on the jacket-folder 'UNSOLVED MYSTERY'. 'Case Closed until the Day of Judgement'. So everyone backed off from opening the file for fear of the retribution of 'Kufr'. |
