The Muslim Jesus

~* THE PROPHET 'ISA (JESUS) *~

* Allah Declares He Has No Son :

~ In many verses of the Glorious Qur'an, Allah, the Exalted, denied the claim of the Christians that He has a son.
A delegation from Najran came to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. They began to talk about their claim about the Trinity, which is that Allah, the Exalted is three in one, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, with some disagreement among their sects. That is why Allah affirmed in many verses of the Qur'an that Jesus, peace be upon him, is a slave of Allah, whom He molded in the womb of his mother, may Allah be pleased with her, like any other of His creatures, and that He created him without a father, as He created Adam, peace be upon him, without a father or a mother. Almighty Allah had chosen 'Isa (Jesus) to be one of His Messengers to humanity.

* The Birth of Mary - Qur'anic :

~ Allah the Almighty said :

" Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Imran above the Alamin (mankind and jinns). Offspring, one of the other, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
Remember when the wife of Imran said: 'O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all wordly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this, from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knowing.'
Then when she delivered her (child Mary), she said: 'O my Lord! I have delivered a female child,' and Allah knew better what she delivered, - 'and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and for her offspring from Satan, the Outcast.' "

* Mary's Sustenance - Qur'anic :

~ So her Lord (Allah) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zechariah. Every time he entered Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room), he found her supplied with sustenance.

As Allah, the Exalted, recounted in the Glorious Qur'an :

She said: " From Allah. Verily, Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit. " (Qur'an, 3:37).

* Mary's Birth - Longer Version :

~ Prophet Zakariyah's, peace be upon him, wife's sister had a daughter named Hannah. She was married to Imran, a leader of the Israelites. For many years, the couple remained childless. Whenever Hannah saw another woman with a child, her longing for a baby increased. Although years had passed, she never lost hope. She believed that one day Allah, the Exalted, would bless her with a child, on whom she would shower all her motherly love.
She turned to the Lord of the heavens and the earth and pleaded with Him for a child. She would offer the child in the service of Allah's house, in the temple of Jerusalem. Allah, the Exalted, granted her request. When she learned that she was pregnant, she was the happiest woman alive, and thanked Allah for His gift. Her overjoyed husband Imran also thanked Allah for His mercy.
However, while she was pregnant her husband passed away. Hannah wept bitterly. Alas, Imran did not live to see their child for whom they had so longed. She gave birth to a girl, and again turned to Allah in prayer:

" O my Lord, I have delivered a female child, " and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her offspring from Satan, the outcast. " (Qur'an, 3:36).

* Zechariah Becomes Mary's Guardian :

~ Hannah had a big problem in refrence to her promise to Allah, the Exalted, for females were not accepted into the temple, and she was very worried. Her sister's husband Zakariyah, peace be upon him, comforted her, saying that Allah knew best what she had delivered and appreciated fully what she had offered in His service. She wrapped the baby in a shawl and handed it over to the temple elders. As the baby was a girl, the question of her guardianship posed a problem for the elders. This was a child of their late and beloved leader, and everyone was eager to take care of her. Zakariyah said to the elders: " I am the husband of her maternal aunt and her nearest relation in the temple; therefore, I will be more mindful of her than all of you. "

As it was their custom to draw lots to solve disagreements, they followed this course. Each one was given a reed to throw into the river. They had agreed that whoever's reed remained afloat would be granted guardianship of the girl. All the reeds sank to the bottom except Zakariyah's, peace be upon him. With this sign, they all surrendered to the will of Allah, the Exalted, and made him the guardian.

* Mary's High Status :

~ To ensure that no one had access to Mary, may Allah be pleased with her, Zakariyah, peace be upon him, built a separate room for her in the temple. As she grew up, she spent her time in devotion to Allah, the Exalted. Zakariyah visited her daily to see her needs, and so it continued for many years. One day, he was surprised to find fresh fruit, which was out of season in her room. As he was the only person who could enter her room, he asked her how the fruit got there. She replied that these provisions were from Allah, as He gives to whom He wills. Zakariyah understood by this that Allah had raised Mary's satus above that of other women.
Thereafter, Zakariyah spent more time with her, teaching and guiding her. Mary grew to be a devotee of Allah, glorifying Him day and night.

* Mary's High Satus - Qur'anic :

~ " And (remember) when the angels said: 'O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah has chosen you, purified you (fom popytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above the women of the Alamin (mankind and jinn)'. "

* Mary's High Status - Prophet Muhammad :

~ Ali Ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: " The best of the world's women is Mary (in her lifetime), and the best of the world's women is Khadija (in her lifetime). "

~ Abu Musa Al-Ashari, may Allah be pleased with him, also narrated that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: " Many among men attained perfection but among women none attained perfection except Mary, the daughter of Imran, and Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh, and the superiority of Aisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (an Arabic dish) to other meals. "

* Mary Receives News of Jesus :

~ While Mary, may Allah be pleased with her, was praying in her temple, an angel in the form of a man appeared before her. Filled with terror, she tried to flee, praying:

" Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah. " The angel said: " I am only a Messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son. " She said: " How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, not am I unchaste? " He said: " So (it will be), your Lord said: " That is easy for Me (Allah): And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allah), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allah). " (Qur'an, 19:18-21).

* The Birth of Jesus :

~ The angel's visit caused Mary's great anxiety, which increased as the months went by. How could she face giving birth to a child without having a husband? Later, she felt life kicking inside her. With a heavy heart, she left the temple and went to Nazareth, the city in which she had been born where she settled in a simple farm house to avoid the public.
But fear and anxiety did not leave her. She was from a noble and pious family. Her father had not been an evil man nor was her mother an impure woman. How could she prevent tongues from wagging about her honor?
After some months, she could not bear the mental strain any longer. Burdened with a heavy womb, she left Nazareth, not knowing where to go to be away from this depressing atmosphere. She had not gone far, when she was overtaken by the pains of childbirth. She saw down against a dry palm tree, and here she gave birth to a son. Looking at her beautiful baby, she was hurt that she had brought him into the world without a father. She exclaimed: " I wish I had died before this happened and had vanished into nothingness! "
Suddenly, she heard a voice nearby: " Grieve not, your Lord has placed a rivulet below, and shake the trunk of this tree, from which ripe dates will fall. So eat and drink and regain the strength you have lost; and be of good cheer, for what you see is the power of Allah, Who made the dry palm tree regain life, in order to provide food for you. " For a while she was comforted by Allah's miracle, for it was a sure sign of her innocence and purity.

* Mary Returns to the City with Jesus :

~ Mary, may Allah be pleased with her, decided to return to the city. However, her fears also returned. What was she going to tell the people? As if sharinhis mother's worry, the baby began to speak: " If you meet any person say: 'I have vowed to fast for The Beneficent and may not speak to any human today.' " With this miracle, Mary felt at ease.

As she expected, her arrival in the city with a newborn baby in her arms aroused the curiosity of the people. They scolded her: " This is a terrible sin that you have commited. " She put her finger to her lips and pointed to the child. They asked: " How can we speak to a newborn baby? " To their total amazement, the child began to speak clearly: " I am Allah's servant. Allah has given me the Book, and has made me a Prophet, and has blessed me wherever I may be, and has enjoined on me prayers and alms-giving as long as I live. Allah has made me dutiful towards she who had borne me. He has not made me arrogant nor unblessed. Peace unto me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive. "

Most of the people realized that the baby was unique, for Allah, the Exalted, wills something, He merely says " Be " and it happens. Of course, there were some who regarded the baby's speech as a strange trick, but at least Mary, may Allah be pleased with her, could now stay in Nazareth without being harassed.

* Mary Receives News of Jesus - Qur'anic :

~ Allah, the Exalted, revealed :

" And mention in the Book (the Qur'an, O Muhammad, the story of) Mary, when she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east. She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh (angel Gabriel), and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects.
She said: " Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah. "
The angel said: " I am only a Messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son. "
She said: " How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste? "
He said: " So (it will be), you Lord said: 'That is easy for Me (Allah): and (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allah), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allah).' " (Qur'an, 19:16-21).

* The Birth of Jesus - Qur'anic :

~ " So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place (Bethlehem valley, about four to six miles from Jerusalem). And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said: " Wish that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight! "
Then (The baby Jesus) cried unto her from below her, saying: " Grieve not! Your Lord has provided you a water stream under you; and shake the trunk of palm tree towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe dates upon you. So eat and drink and be glad, and if you see any human being, say: 'Verily! I have vowed a fast unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) so I shall not speak to any human being this day.' " (Qur'an, 19:22-26).

* Mary and Jesus Return to the City - Qur'anic :

~ " Then she brought him (the baby) to her people, carrying him. They said: " O Mary! Indeed you have brought a thing Fariyya (an unheard mighty thing). O sister (the like) of Aaron (not the brother of Moses, but he was another pious man at the time of Mary)! Your father was not a man who used to commit adultery, nor was your mother an unchaste woman. "
Then she pointed to him. They said: " How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle? "
He (Jesus) said: " Verily! I am a slave of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet; and He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined me prayer, and Zakat, as long as I live, and dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest. And Salam (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive! " (Qur'an, 19:27-33).

* Allah's Message About Jesus - Qur'anic :

~ " Such is Jesus, son of Mary. (It is) a statement of truth, about which they doubt (or dispute). It befits not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son (this refers to the slander of Christians against Allah, by saying that Jesus is the son of Allah). Glorified (and Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it, " Be! " - and it is.
Jesus said: " And verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path. (Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets). "
Then the sects differed (the Christians about Jesus), so woe unto the disbelievers (those who gave fate witness saying that Jesus is the son of Allah) from the meeting of a great Day (the Day of Resurrection)
How clearly will they (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) see and hear, the Day when they will appear before Us! But the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) today are in plain error. And warn them (O Muhammad) of the Day of grief and regrets, when the case has been decided, while now they are in a state of carelessness and they believe not. " (Qur'an, 19:34-39).

* A Story About Mary's Pregnancy :

~ It was said that Joseph the Carpenter was greatly surprised when he knew the story, so he asked Mary: " Can a tree come to grow without a seed? " She said: " Yes, the one which Allah created for the first time. " He asked her again: " Is it possible to bear a child without a male partner? " She said: " Yes, Allah, created Adam without male or female! "

* Jesus Upsets the Jews :

~ The Jewish priests felt this child Jesus was dangerous, for they felt that the people would turn their worship to Allah the Almighty Alone, displacing the existing Jewish tenets. Consequently, they would lose their authority over people. Therefore, they kept the miracle of Jesus's speech in infancy as a secret and accused Mary of a great misdeed.

* The Miracles of Jesus - Qur'anic :

~ Allah the Almighty said :

" Remember when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): " O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My Favor to you and to your mother when I supported you with Ruh-ul-Qudus (Gabriel) so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and when I taught you writing, Al Hikmah ( the power of understanding), the Torah and the Gospel; and when you made out of the clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My Permission, and you breathed into it, and it became bird by My Permission, and you healed those born blind, and the lepers by My Permission, and when you brought forth the dead by My Permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from you (when they resolved to kill you) since you came unto them with clear proofs, and the disbelievers among them said; 'This is nothing but evident magic. ' "
And when I (Allah) put in their hearts of the disciples (of Jesus) to believe in Me and My Messenger, they said: " We believe. and bear witness that we are Muslims. " (Qur'an, 5:110-111).
> (Muslim is to submit to Allah, the Exalted, so anyone who submits to Allah is called a Muslim).

* Jesus' Abilities and the Disciples - Qur'anic :

~ Almighty Allah also revealed :

" And He Allah will teach him (Jesus) the Book and Al Hikmah (the Sunnah, the faultless of speech of the Prophet, wisdom, etc.), (and) the Torah and the Gospel.
And will make him (Jesus) a Messenger to the Children of Israel (saying): 'I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allah's leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe. And I have come confirming that which was before me of the Torah, and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you, and I have come to you with proof from your Lord. So fear Allah and obey me. Truly! Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him (Alone). This is the Sraight Path.'
Then when Jesus came to know of their disbelief, he said: 'Who will be my helpers in Allah's Cause?' The disciples said: 'We are the helpers; we believe in Allah, and bear witness that we are Muslims (we submit to Allah).'
Our Lord! We believe in what you have sent down, and we follow the Messenger (Jesus); so write us down among those who bear witness (to the truth, La ilaha illa Allah - none has the right to be worshipped but Allah).
And they (disbelievers) plotted (to kill Jesus), and Allah planned too. And Allah is the Best of the planners. " (Qur'an, 3:48-54).

* Allah Sends the Disciples a Feast :

~ Some of the miracles which Jesus performed had been requested by his disciples, such as their wish for a " holy table " to be sent down from heaven.

~ Allah, the Exalted, said :

" Remember when the disciples said: 'O Jesus, son of Mary! Can your Lord send down to us a table spread (with food) from heaven?' Jesus said: 'Fear Allah, if you are indeed believers.' They said: 'We wish to eat thereof and to be stronger in Faith and to know that you have indeed told us the truth and that we ourselves be its witnesses.'
Jesus, son of Mary, said: 'O Allah, our Lord! Send us from heaven a table spread (with food) that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a festival and a sign from you; and provide us sustenance, for You are the best of sustainers.' Allah said: 'I am going to send it down unto you, but if any of you after that disbelieves, then I will punish him with a torment such as I have not inflicted on anyone among all the Alamin (mankind and jinn).'
And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): 'O 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?' He will say: 'Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden and unseen. " (Qur'an, 5:112-116).

* Those Worshipping Jesus and Allah's Questions to Jesus :

~ Almighty Allah asserted :

" And remember when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): 'O Jesus, son of Mary! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?' He will say: 'Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right to say. Had I said such a thing, you would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All Knower of all that is hidden and unseen. Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allah) did command me to say: 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord', And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. If you punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, Verily You, only You are the All Mighty, the All Wise.'
Allah will say: 'This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) - they shall abide therein forever. Allah is pleased with and they with Him. That is the great success (Paradise). To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, and He is Able to do all things. " (Qur'an, 5:116-120).

* Jesus's Crucifixion - Qur'anic :

~ The Glorious Qur'an affirms that Allah, the Exalted, did not permit the people of Israel to kill Jesus, peace be upon him, or crucify him. What happened was that Allah saved him from his enemies and raised him to heaven. They never killed Jesus, they killed someone else.

~ Allah the Almighty declared :

" And because of their saying (in boast), 'We killed Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah,' but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Jesus was put over another man (and they killed that man) and those who differ therin are full of doubts. They have no certain knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not (Jesus, son of Mary): But Allah raised him (Jesus) up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allah is Ever All Powerful, All Wise.
And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), but must believe in him (Jesus, son of Mary, as only a Messenger of Allah, and a human being), before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection, he (Jesus) will be a witness against them." (Qur'an, 4:157-159).

~ Almighty Allah aslo revealed :

" And remember when Allah said: 'O Jesus! I will take you and raise you to Myself and clear you (of the forged statement that Jesus is Allah's son) of those who disbelieve, and I will make those who follow you (Monotheists, who worship none but Allah) superior to those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah, or disbelieve in some of His Messengers, e.g. Muhammad, Jesus, Moses, etc., or in His Holy Books, e.g. the Torah, the Gospel, the Qur'an) till the Day of Resurrection. Then you will return to Me and I will judge between you in the matters in which you used to dispute. " (Qur'an, 3:55).

* Refutation of the Christians Claim :

~ Allah, the Exalted, Disclaims Begetting Anyone - Surah 19, Almighty Allah refuted the claims of the Jews and the Christians in many verses in the Qur'an :

" And they say: 'The Most Beneficent (Allah) had begotten a son (or offspring or children) (as the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that He has begotten a son (Christ), and the Pagan Arabs say that he has begotten daughters (angels, etc.)). "
Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing. Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins, that they ascribe a son (or offspring or children). There is non in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) as a slave. Verily, He knows each one of them, and has counted them a full counting, And everyone of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection (without any helper, or protector or defender). " (Qur'an, 19:88-95).

~ Allah, the Exalted, also declared :

" Yet, they join the jinns as partners in worship with Allah, though He has created them (the jinns), and they attribute falsely without knowledge sons and daughters to Him. Be He Glorified! And Exalted above (all) that they attribute to Him. He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have children when He has no wife? He created all things and He is the All-Knower of everything.
Such is Allah, your Lord! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Creator of all things. So worship Him (Alone), and He is the Wakil (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian etc.) over all things.
No vision can grasp Him, but His Grasp is over all vision. He is the Most Subtle and Courteous, Well-Acquainted with all things. " (Qur'an, 6:100-103).

~ Almighty Allah commanded :

" O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allah aught but the truth. The Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah and His Word, ('Be' - and he was) which He bestowed on Mary and a spirit (Ruh) created by Him; so believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not: 'Three (tinity)!' Cease! (It is) better for you. For Allah is the only One ILah (God), Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is All Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.
The Messiah (Jesus) will never be proud to reject to be a slave to Allah, nor the angels who are near (to Allah). And whosoever rejects His worship and is proud, then He will gather them all together unto Himself. So, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and did deeds of righteousness, He will give their (due) rewards, and more out of His Bounty. But as for those who refuse His worship and were proud, He will punish them with a painful torment. And they will not find for themselves besides Allah any protector or helper. " (Qur'an, 4:171-173).

* Allah Disclaims Ezra as a Son :

~ Almighty Allah also declared :

" And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: Massiah (Jesus) is the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allah's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from truth!
They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah, (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allah) and (they also took as their lord) Messiah, son of Mary, while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded (in the Torah and the Gospel) to worship none but One ILah (God-Allah) La ilaha illa Huwa (none had the right to be worshipped but He). Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He) from having partners they associate (with Him). " (Qur'an, 9:30-32).

* Allah Disclaims Begetting Anyone :

~ Allah the Almighty also revealed :

" Now ask them (O Muhammad): " Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them? " Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?
Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say: " Allah has begotten off-spring or children (angels are the daughters of Allah) " And, verily, they are liars!
Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons? What is the matter with you? How do you decide? Will you not then remember? Or is there for you a plain authority? Then bring your Book if you are truthful!
And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinns, but the jinn know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be brought for accounts).
Glorified be Allah! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him! Except the slaves of Allah, whom He chooses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islamic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allah). " (Qur'an, 37:149-160).

~ And Almighty Allah declared :

" Surely, is disbelief are they who say that Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. Say (O Muhammad): 'Who then has the least power against Allah, if He were destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, his mother, and all those who are on the earth together?' And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He wills. And Allah is Able to do all things.
And (both) the Jews and Christians say; 'We are the children of Allah and His loved ones.' Say: 'Why then does He punish you for your sins?' Nay, you are but human beings, of those He has created, He forgives whom He wills and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and to Him is the return of all.
O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Now has come to you Our Messenger (Muhammad) making (things) clear unto you, after a break in (the series of) Messengers, lest you say: 'there came unto us no bringer of glad tidings and no warner'. But now has come unto you a bringer of glad tidings and a warner. And Allah is Able to do all things. " (Qur'an, 5:17-19).

Allah, the Exalted, warned:

" Surely they have disbelieved who say: 'Allah is the Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary.' But the Messiah (Jesus) said: 'O chidren of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and you Lord.' Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists, and wrong-doers) there are no helpers.
Surely, disvelievers are those who said: 'Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity).' But there is no ILah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One ILah (God-Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them. Will they not repent to Allah and ask His forgiveness? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
The Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother (Mary) was a Siddiqah (she believed in the Words of Allah, and His Books). They both used to eat food, as any other human beings, while Allah does not eat. Look how We made the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to them, yet look how they are deluded away from the truth. " (Qur'an, 5:72-75).

~ And almighty Allah ordered:

And say:
" All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has not begotten a son (nor an offspring), and Who has no partner in His Dominion, nor He is low to have a Wali (helper, protector, or supporter). And magnify Him with all the magnificence, (Allahu-Akbar, Allah is the Most Great). " (Qur'an, 17:111).

~ The pagans once asked the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him: " To whom is your Lord related, His original ancestors and His various branches of descendants? " It is also reported that the Jews said: " We worship Ezra, the Son of Allah, " and the Christians said: " Jesus is the Son of Allah, " and the Magians said: " We worship the sun and the moon, " and the Pagans said: " We worship idols. " In response to all of them Allah, the Exalted, revealed some of His attributes: Unity, Uniqueness, and other substantives:

" Say: (O Muhammad): 'He is Allah, the One. Allah As-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks). He begets not, nor was He begotten; and there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him. " (Qur'an, 112:1-4).
