104 Prophet Jesus (pbuh): A Prophet, Not A Son, of God

of all that exists, whether living or not, is eternal, controls all things,
knows everything, has the power to do anything, and never sleeps.
Unsullied by any helplessness, He gave various forms of helplessness to
all members of creation and told them to be aware of these inadequacies,
serve only Him, and seek everything from Him.

Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was a servant in need of God's mercy

Both the Qur'an and the New Testament relate Prophet Jesus'
(pbuh) miracles, which were performed with God's infinite blessing.

After every miracle, however, he made it clear to everyone that these
miracles occurred because God willed them to occur. He frequently
stated that God was speaking, not him, and that He caused everything to
happen, for He is the Only Lord over all living things. He emphasized
that he was no more than a servant who had been sent to tell his people
of God's message, that what he did he did by the will of God, and that all
of his actions were under God's control. For example:
All things have been given to me by my Lord. (Matthew 11:27)

I do exactly what God has commanded me [to do]. (Matthew 14:31)
The words I say to you are not just my own. (John 14:10)

I tell you the truth, the apostle can do nothing by himself. (John 5:19)
My teaching is not my own. It comes from Him Who sent me. (John 7:16)

My Lord, Who has given them to me, is greater than all. (John 10:29)
For I did not speak of my own accord, but God, Who sent me, told me what
to say and how to say it. I know that His command leads to eternal life. So
whatever I say is just what God has told me to say. (John 12:49-50)

Jesus knew that God had put all things under his power, and that he had
come from God and was returning to God. (John 13:3)
