Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Indeed, the example of ‘Isa in the sight of Allah is like that of Adam”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Ali 'Imran 3:59], given that 'Isa was not created from dust?
Answer:
No, that is not the intention. The statement that "Jesus is like Adam, created from dust" means that Allah brought Jesus into existence without a father, just as He brought Adam into existence from dust without a father or mother. Is not the One who created Adam without a father or mother capable of creating Jesus from a mother without a father? Allah is capable of all things. Therefore, He intends by this to argue against the disbelievers who say that it is impossible for Jesus to exist without a father, or that the child is the product of fornication. The Jews also say that he is the child of fornication. May Allah keep us safe from that. They call him the child of a prostitute and accuse Mary (may Allah be pleased with her) of being a fornicator, just as the Shi'ah now accuse the Mother of the Believers, A'ishah, of being a fornicator. May Allah disfigure them. They are like the Jews. They accuse the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them). Yes.
