values, and is made superior to the worlds. In telling people of
the true religion, he spoke of our Lord's infinite might and
power and stated that he was His servant. Another verse re-
veals that those who ascribe divinity to Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
do not fully appreciate God and His might:

sires to destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother,
and everyone el lse on Earth?" The kingdom of the heavens and
Earth, and everything between them, belongs to God. He cre-
ates whatever He wills. God has power over all things. (Surat
al-Ma'ida: 17)

al-Ma'ida: 116)
