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

The creation of Prophet Adam (pbuh) is also similar to that of
Prophet Jesus (pbuh):
The likeness of Jesus in God's sight is the same as that of Adam. He cre-
ated him from earth and then He said to him "Be!" and he was. It is the
truth from your Lord, so do not be among the doubterrs. (Surah Al
'Imran: 59-60)

In these verses, God reveals that He created Prophet Adam (pbuh)
and Prophet Jesus (pbuh) in a similar manner: Prophet Adam (pbuh) was
created out of clay and had no ancestors, and Prophet Jesus (pbuh) had

no father. Both of them were created through God's command of Be! This
great truth, which leaves no room for doubt, makes it clear that both
prophets were God's servants who, despite their exalted status, were still
completely dependent upon Him to meet all of their needs.

As revealed in the Qur'an, Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is fully human

In the Qur'an, God reveals to our Prophet (may God bless him and
grant him peace) that the other prophets before him were all human:
We never sent any Messengers before you who did not eat food and walk
in the market-place. But We have made some of you a trial for others, to
see if you will be steadfast. Your Lord sees ever rything. Those who do not
expect to meet Us ask: "Why have angels not been sent down to us?

Why do we e not see our Lord?" They have become arrogant about them-
selves and are excessively insolent. (Sura at al-Furqan: 20-21)

In other verses our Lord states:
We have only sent before you men who were given Revelation. Ask the
People of tthe Reminder if you do not know. We did not give them bodies
that did not eat food, nor were they immmortal. But We kept Our promise
to them and rescued them and those We willed, and destroyed the proflli-
gate. (Surat al-Anbiya': 7-9)
