Page 73 - Prophet Jesus (Pbuh): A Prophet Not A Son, Of God

HARUN YAHYA 71

There is no deity but the One God. If they do not stop saying what they
say, a painful punishment wiill afflict those among them who do not be-
lieve. Why do they not turn to God and ask for His forgivveness? God is
Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat al-Ma'ida; 72-74)

Thus, as God is the sole Lord of all things, no other power can delay
or turn a thing back that He wills to happen. The Qur'an reveals the fol-
lowing about those who say that there is another deity apart from God or
that God has a son:

We sent no Messenger befor re you without revealing to him: "There is no
god but Me, so worship Me." They say: "The All-Merciful l has a son."
Glory be to Him! No, they are honored servants! They do not precede
Him in speech and t they act on His command. He knows what is in front
of them and what is behind them. They only interce ede on behalf of those
with whom He is pleased, and even they are apprehensive out of fear
[and respe ect] of Him. Were any of them to say: "I am a deity apart
from Him," We would repay him with Hell. Th hat is how We repay
wrongdoers." (Surat al-Anbiya': 25-29)

Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is only a prophet

The Qur'an mentions many subjects, such as the birth of Prophet
Jesus (pbuh), some events in his life, his family, and the people around
him. He is depicted as the Messiah, son of Mary and prophet of God. For
example, he told the Children of Israel that he was sent for the following

reason:
I come confirming the Torah I find already there, and to make lawful for
you some of what was prev viously forbidden to you. I have brought you a
Sign from your Lord. So have fear [and respect] of Good, and obey me.
God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight
path. (Surah Al 'Im mran: 50-51)
