"Truly, the likeness of Jesus, in God's sight, is as Adam's likeness; He created him of dust, then said He unto him, 'Be', and he was."

|
What we are making an indepth study of, is Verse 3:59. That is Allah's Reply to the Deputation's Five Points Submission.
|
| . |
| The explosion of 3:59 was like a bomb-shell. |
| . |
| By the stroke of this one verse, Allah refuted, aidlessly, the Deputation's assertions, and caused to be blown to ashes , the falsity of their claims. Let us replay the action. |
| . |
| FIRSTLY: |
|
the fact that Allah intervened by revelation, and spoke via Muhammad, there and then, Muhammad's claim of being Allah's Messenger was duly validated, ipso facto.
|
|
| . |
|
|
|
| . |
| SECONDLY: |
|
Allah's Declaration is: "He created him..." meaning, He, Allah alone is Khaliq, Creator. And that no one is associated with Him in His Creative Attribute. In the case of Jesus, 'I God created Jesus'. Jesus is just another of my creatures. What type of a creature? A creature created of turab (dust). In whose likeness. In the likeness of Adam [Not God's Likeness].
And, further, it is I, Allah, Who gave the command 'Be !' for Jesus to "Become"
|
|
| .. |
|
|
|
The coming of Jesus into being was as a result of the design and the doing of Allah and Allah alone. A confirmation that Allah is Creator, wholely and solely. And that besides Allah, there is no other God.
|
| . |
Oh, how firmly 3; 59 in its first dimension upholds the Kalima of Islam, that is, 'there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah'.
|
|
| . |
We will now look at 3: 59 in its second dimension and see how Allah in His Wisdom can by language tell convincingly in a few words, without the aid of evidence (by itself, each verse, called an Ayat, or Sign, is self evident), the truth of a matter. In this case the truth that John the Baptist was the father of Jesus Christ.
