Najraan Deputation's Query, Who Was Jesus' Father?; Jesus Son Of John: Part 01 Page 11

STAGE 4:

Deputation's Query in Response to 3:59

WHO WAS HIS FATHER?

That is, Who Was Jesus' Father

Deputation's Query

And Their Understanding of 3:59

You see what was the Deputation's Query to the Revelation of 3:59 ? Volumes can be written on the subject. That tells us how the Deputation understood and interpreted the Verse. Their understanding was that the text declared that Jesus had a father. Their question was not if he had a father. They asked,
'who was his father?'

That settles the Deputation's understanding of 3:59.

What was Muhammad's understanding of the Revelation? This is important, for it was to him God spoke. Judge that for yourself by his reply to the Deputation's Query.

STAGE 5:

MUHAMMAD'S REBUTTAL

"Don't you know that no child is born but has the likeness to its father in form and in appearance?"

Muhammad's Understanding of 3:59

Muhammad understood the Verse to mean not only that Jesus had a father, but further - the identification of the father. That is, that Jesus father was he in whose likeness Jesus was, in form and in appearance.

Pause and think of this. Without 3:59 Muhammad was defenceless. Aided with 3:59, he got the upperhand.

Another point. Having said Jesus had a father, and who his father was, Allah had no need to worry over representing Points 2, 3, 4 & 5. Verse 3:59 was self-sufficient. Following upon its revelation. Muhammad took command of the Debate therefrom and single-handedly dumbfounded the Deputation.
