In the name of Allah;the Lord of All creations
Is it a dishonor of Allah to believe that Jesus ,son of Mary, is his son?
Christianity states that Allah has a son
while Islam declares that Allah " neither begets nor is born"
Al-Aqsa masjid
and to know which party is right , we need to closely examine the fairness of the following question:
If God had a Son, would you consider this as an insult and degrading or a praising and perfection of God?
Then, let's meditate on the fairness of the following answer:
To liken the creator to his creation in the attribute of fatherhood entails all the requirements and consequences of the comparison.
Let's now start to read what are the things that a person is obligated to if he believed that Allah has a son:
1- The existence of a Son implies that a father would need his son to fill his father's position!!
This is a declaration that a father will lose the attribute of self- independency
:thus Quran has come with this logical argument
(قَالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَداً سُبْحَانَهُ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ)
They (Jews, Christians and pagans) say: "Allâh has begotten a son (children)." Glory is to Him! He is Rich (Free of all needs). His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. No warrant you have for this. Do you say against Allâh what you know not(10: 68)hence , who assumes that Allah has a son implies that Allah is not self-independency
and that his need will force him to be dependent on his son.
Is it possible for God to be so?
2- The existence of a son implies that Allah does not own the whole universe
His son will take a part in controlling the kingdom. So this is a declaration that the father will have a supporter and a partner which means dependency and weakness
Therefore, Quran has come with the following logical statement
( لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ .....وَلِلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا)
Surely, in disbelief are they who say that Allâh is the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary). (O Muhammad) Say Who then has the least power against Allâh, if He were to destroy the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), his mother, and all those who are on the earth together?" And to Allâh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He wills. And Allâh is able to do all things.
( 5:17)
The assumption that Allah has a son implies that Allah`s power is not overwhelming; he does not own the whole universe
3- The existence of a son implies that a father will not be able to be independent
his son will help him to manage the universe therefore,
This is a declaration that the father will lose his attribute of power and authority
The assumption that Allah has a son implies that Allah does not have the complete power and that he is not the disposer of all affairs
And that weakness ,one day, will force him to be dependent
Is it possible to believe that the God of the universe will be dependent?
4- The existence of a son implies that a father will get older!
What a son for then?!!
And that his son will be his successor in all his characters as a god.
This is a declaration that a father will not be powerful any more.
Thus, who assumes that Allah has a son , assumes that Allah is not powerful.
And that weakness will force Allah to be dependent
Is possible to believe that God of the whole universe will be dependent ?
5- The existence of a son implies that the father will die and that his son will inherit him and be his successor
This is a declaration that a father will lose the attribute of living
If one assumes that Allah has a son he also assumes that Allah will not be alive forever
and that he will be subjected to death one day ; thus he will vanish.
Can the God of universe die or suffer from any hurting accidents?
6- If we believed that Allah has a son ,someone will say If you believe that Allah has a son that means he has a wife and relatives
ًWhat will be our response to his statement?
Nothing, then, can be said except an absolute silence!!
Thus Quran has come with this logical argument:
(( ... وَخَرَقُوا لَهُ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يَصِفُون بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْض
أَنَّى يَكُونُ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ صَاحِبَةٌ...))
"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"
(6:100)
After presenting these evidence, we will end up with the conclusion that
If we believed that Allah has a son, then, we liken the creator with his imperfect creations
and we abolish all his divine attributes.
But those who believe that Allah does not have a son
know that Allah is the creator who cannot be like any of his creations.
The creation is imperfect, weak and subservient
But Allah Can only be
All-Mighty
Rich
king
strong
Powerful
Holy
wise
the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists
...etc
O , reader who struggle to search for truth, the issue concerns you only, so do not let others direct you , read this article neutral attitude.
Muslims admire Jesus and deeply love him because he is one of the prophets and the belief in them is one of the faith pillars
It is forbidden in Islam to dishonor, curse, or hate Jesus
The disbelief in Jesus and his message is considered a disbelief in Quran and Muhammad
And the one who does so will be a Muslim
At the same time Muslims do not consider Jesus more than a human and give his give him only his human status; he is the messenger of Allah
Whose birth was a miracle proving the greatness of the creator.
It is time to stop and think before this absolute truth and ask the following questions:
1- What can we lose if we believe that Jesus-peace be upon him- is the messenger of Allah?
Don't we admire him strongly as he deserves?
2- Why do some people insist on believing that Jesus is God after presenting all the evidence that prove his humanity, and prophecy?
Don't you think that such a belief is a reason for Allah 's provocation because we dishonor him?
3- Isn't that Allah is distinguished from his creations that he is the creator of the whole universe?
So why don't we complete his honorable distinction by bearing witness that there is no God but Allah?
4-Allah's blessings come consecutively, Do you return these blessings with ingratitude ,hatred, and dishonor?
5- Do you think that people who believe that Allah has a son can hide the obvious truth that he does not ever has a son?
Can they hide the fact which is as clear as the sun light with their bellows?
Finally,
let`s think about what the God of the universe has said in his final message to the people of earth
( وقالوا اتخذ الرحمن ولدا * لقد جئتم شيئا إدا * تكاد السماوات يتفطرن منه وتنشق الأرض وتخر الجبال هدا * أن دعوا للرحمن ولدا * وما ينبغي للرحمن أن يتخذ ولدا * إن كل من في السماوات والأرض إلا آتي الرحمن عبدا * لقد أحصاهم وعدهم عدا * وكلهم آتيه يوم القيامة فردا )
And they say: "The Most Gracious (Allâh) has begotten a son (or offspring or children) [as the Jews say: ‘Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh, and the Christians say that He has begotten a son [‘Îsâ (Jesus) عليه السلام], and the pagan Arabs say that He has begotten daughters (angels and others.)]."
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) to the Most Gracious (Allâh
But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Gracious (Allâh) that He should beget a son (or offspring or children).
There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Gracious (Allâh) 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).
(19: 88- 95).
