THE QURANIC STATEMENT ABOUT JESUS SON OF MARY
|
||
|
I begin with the name of Allah the most merciful and the most kind, peace and blessing be upon beloved Prophet (S.A.W) All praise is for Allah. SPECIALITY OF THE MOTHER OF ISA(JESUS) Jesus was born without father, so his birth was a miracle of Allah. When an extraordinary thing happens without any particular source through the unseen power, it is called a miracle. There are many examples of such miracles: the natural way of camel and she camel to come in existence is through the crossing between male and female, but when a she camel comes in existence from inside a rock, it was a miracle as she camel of prophet Saleh (PBUH). The water is beneath the earth. The sea and rivers are on earth. Steam rises up and makes clouds and the clouds send water down to earth through rain, but when the fountain of water came out from the fingertips of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) it was be a miracle. We need a strong and heavy weapon to kill an elephant but when the small concretes kill it, it was a miracle. (Surah: Alfeel) The children are begotten through parents, as we all know very well, but when a baby is born without a parent or without a father it was a miracle. Allah said: "The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam (AS). He created him from dust then said to him be and he was" Surah Al-Imran. One-day allegation of Christians came to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and discussed about Jesus to approve him Son of God and they mentioned in the talk that Muslims believe that Jesus was born without a father and this supported Christian faith about Jesus. If he has no father so God should be his father. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) answered (them) that this evidence is not acceptable, as otherwise Adam is more deserving to be Son of God, because he was created without both mother and father. Now in the modern age, in the light of scientific rules it is approved that God is not made of any material. I have got the statement of the scientists in newspaper cutting and they are Christian. It means that He is not made of gold, silver, wood, stone, clay, or dust, but He is far above of these things. It is known very well that Jesus is one of human beings, was born like other babies. He grew up eating food and drinking water, like others. This fact is very clear that all mankind is made of material. So imagine logically how a material could be son of non-material. So it is approved that the Christian view of Isa (Jesus) as Son of God is not true. Allah said: "Jews say Uzair is Son of God, Christian say Maseeh is Son of God. Allah says this: just their saying from their mouth they imitate the saying of disbelievers before them". Surah Taubah Allah said: "Those disbelieved who said that Maseeh Son of Mary is Himself". Al-Maidah Say (O, Prophet) who has the least power against Allah if his will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother and everyone. "For to Allah belong the dominion of heaven and earth, and all that is between. He releases what he pleases. For Allah has power over all things". Al-Maidah So Jesus (PBUH) gave a very clear Khutbah in the cradle, which are the fact and a true statement. He said and his saying is also a miracle. I am indeed a servant of Allah. He gave me a book and made me a Prophet. He has made me blessed where so ever I be, and has enjoined on me a prayer and charity as long as I live. He has made me kind to my mother not over bearing or miserable. Blessing is upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day when I shall be raised up to the life again. Jesus was given remarkable miracles by Allah. Jesus said: "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I make for you out of clay as it were the figure of bird and breath into it and it became a bird by Allah's leave, and I heal those born blind and the lepers and I quicken the dead by Allah's leave and I declare to you what you eat and what you store". Allah said: "They killed him not nor crucified him but so it was made to appear to them and those who differ there in are full of doubt. They have not a certain knowledge about it but they follow just conjecture for of a surely they killed him not". (An-Misa 157: 4) He was raised up alive, he will be back before the day of judgement to serve Islam. He will get married; will get children; will die like other people and will be buried next to the grave of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He gave glad tiding to his nations about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). SOME FACTS The name of Holy Prophet Jesus is mentioned in the Qur'an 25 times: As Son of Mary 16 times And as Isa 9 times. The word of Maseeh is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an 11 times: 3 times with the name Isa 5 times Maseeh son of Maryam 3 times just Maseeh The other names or titles are given to him Kalimatullah - Aayatullah - Roohullah He used to cure the blind born and lepers and used to quicken the dead with Allah's leave. |
