butthe truth about Allah. The Messiah, Jesus son of Maryam, was only
the Messenger of Allah and His Word, which He cast into Maryam, and a
Spiritfrom Him. So believe in Allah and His Messengers. Do not
say:"Three." It is better that you stop. Allah is only One God. He is
too glorious to have a son! Everything in the heavens and in Earth
belongs to Him. Allah suffices as a Guardian. The Messiah would never
disdain to be a servant to Allah, nor would the angels near toHim. If
any disdain to worship Him and grow arrogant, He will, in any case,
gather them all to Him. (Surat an-Nisa': 171-72)
Those who say that the Messiah, son of Maryam, is Allah are
unbelievers. The Messiah said: "Tribe of Israel. Worship Allah, my
Lord and your Lord. Ifanyone associates anything with Allah, Allah has
forbidden him the Garden and his refuge will be the Fire." The
wrongdoers will have no helpers. (Surat al-Ma'ida: 72)
Those who say: "Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam," do not
believe.Say: "Who possesses anypower at all over Allah if He desires
to destroy theMessiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and everyone else
on Earth?" The kingdom of the heavens and Earth, and everything
between them, belongs to Allah. He creates whatever He wills. Allah
has power over all things. (Surat al-Ma'ida: 17)
And when Allah asks:"Jesus son of Maryam! Did you say to people: 'Take
me and my motheras deities besides Allah?'" He will respond:"Glory be
to You! It is notfor me to say what I have no right to say! If I had
said it, You would have known it. You know what is in my self, but I
do not know what is in Your Self. You are the Knower of all
unseenthings." (Surat al-Ma'ida: 116)
He [Jesus] said: "I am theservant of Allah. He has given me the Book
and made me a Prophet. He has made me blessed wherever I am and
directed me to perform prayer and give the almsas long as I live…"
(SurahMaryam: 30-31)
It is not right for any human being that Allah should give him the
Book and Judgment and Prophethood, and then that he should say to
people: "Worship me rather than Allah." Rather, he will say: "Be
people of the Lord because of your knowledge of the Book, and because
you study." (Surah Al 'Imran: 79)
The Messiah, the son of Maryam, was only a Messenger, before whom
other Messengerscame and went. His mother was a woman of truth. Both
of them ate food. See how We make the signs clear to them! Then see
how they are perverted! (Surat al-Ma'ida, 75)
We sent no Messenger before you without revealing to him: 'There is no
god but Me, so worship Me.' They say, 'The All-Merciful has a son.'
Glory be to Him! No, they are honored servants! They do not precede
Him in speech and they act on His command. He knows what is in front
of them and what is behind them. They only intercede on behalf of
those with whom He is pleased, and even they are apprehensive out of
fear of Him. Were any of them to say, 'I am a god apart from Him,' We
would repay him with Hell. That is how We repay wrongdoers. (Surat
al-Anbiya', 25-29)
