Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Was 'Isa (peace be upon him) created like Adam (peace be upon him) in the manner of creation?

Answer:
No, Adam was created from dust without a mother or a father, and 'Isa (peace be upon him) was created from a mother without a father, but he is like him in that Allah said to him, "Be, and he was"
Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Himإِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَىٰ عِندَ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ آدَمَ خَلَقَهُ
[Ali 'Imran 3:59]
from dust, meaning Adam was created
from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was.مِن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ
[Ali 'Imran 3:59]
. Therefore, it is said that 'Isa is the Word of Allah because he came into being by the Word without a father; he came into being by the Word, which is His saying, "Be," without a father. Yes.
