the universe, that nothing can be unless He so wills, and that nobody has
any power to do anything. Thus, they may have thought of Prophet Jesus
(pbuh) as the son of God in the same sense when using the term. They may
have wished to make it clear that our Lord had created all fathers and
mothers, as well as all sons and daughters, and that He is the Lord of all.
Given that parents cannot have a child unless God sets the appro-

to Him. He gives life and causes to die, and His is the alternation of the
night and day. So will you not use your intellect? (Surat al-Muminun:
78-8 80)
He created you from earth, then from a drop of sperm, then from a
