Mariam 34-37

 

34- THIS IS JESUS THE SON OF MARIAM (MARY) THE TRUE WORD ABOUT WHOM YOU ARGUE. 

 

35- ALLAH WAS NOT TO TAKE A SON, PRAISE AND GLORY TO HIM, WHEN HE DECREES FOR A MATTER TO HAPPEN, HE SAYS TO IT: “BE” AND IT WILL BE.

 

36- ALLAH IS MY LORD AND YOUR LORD, INDEED YOU SHOULD WORSHIP HIM, THIS IS A STRAIGHT PATH.

 

37- BUT THE VARIOUS GROUPS DID NOT AGREE AMONGST THEMSELVES, SO WOE TO THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE FROM THE SCENE OF A GREAT DAY.

 

Allah the Highest is telling us that this is what truly happened with Mary and Jesus, peace upon them, anything else is not accurate.

 

Allah has a policy on Earth of not letting things happen without means.  However, Allah the Highest is the maker of the means as well, and whenever He desires, He makes things happen without a cause, as is seen in His making Mary pregnant without a male, and creating Adam, peace upon him, without a male or a female.  This is because Allah’s ability is absolute, and all things and all powers are in his hand.

 

Having children is one of the characteristics of mankind, which we need to maintain our species.  Allah the Highest is not like us, He has no beginning and no end, and does not need to reproduce himself, therefore He is not in need a child. 

 

The child of a god becomes a small god himself.  A son may have a different opinion from his father, and might desire at one point to have a share of his father’s kingdom.  Allah the Highest said: “ALLAH DID NOT TAKE A SON, AND THERE ARE NO OTHER GODS BESIDES HIM, THEN EACH OF THEM WOULD TAKE WHAT THEY CREATE AWAY, AND SOME WOULD BE SUPERIOR TO OTHERS, PRAISE TO ALLAH WHO IS ABOVE WHAT THEY DESCRIBE”.  (S:23  A:91)

 

A child, a son, will be similar to his father, while nothing is similar to Allah the Highest, Who said about Himself: “NOTHING IS LIKE HIM, AND HE IS WHO HEARS AND SEES ALL THINGS”.  (S:42  A:11)

 

Allah the Highest is supreme and He is not in need for anyone or anything.  We may fight in the cause of Allah, but we should never think that Allah the Highest needs us to fight for Him, but we need to fight for ourselves, but in his cause, this is because Allah the Highest is without need.  Allah the Highest said: “AND WHOEVER FIGHTS, HE FIGHTS FOR HIS OWN SELF, FOR ALLAH IS NOT IN NEED FOR ANY BEING”.  (S:29  A:6)

 

There are differences in opinion among the various Christian sects concerning Jesus peace upon him.  Some consider him to be God who came down to Earth, and some consider his both God and His son, and others consider him to be just the son of God. 

 

The Jews see Jesus peace upon him as an illegitimate child of Mary, and an imposter.

 

The Muslims however believe that Jesus peace upon him was a great prophet and messenger, one of the five greater ones, whom Allah the Highest created in the womb of the virgin Mary without a father.
