The Muslims rather contend that the miraculous birth of Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) without a father does not make him a God or a begotten son of God. Allah said in the Noble Qur’an (Which is translated as follows); — And they (Jews, Christians and pagans) say: Allah has begotten a son (Children or offspring). Glory be to Him (Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). Nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth, and all surrender with obedience (in worship) to Him, The Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it: Be! and it is. [Chapter 2: verses 116-17] Further Allah says in the Noble Qur’an (Which is translated as follows); — Say (O Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him)) He is Allah, (the) One, Allah-us-Samad (The Self- Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks), He begets not, nor was He begotten, And there is none co- equal or comparable unto Him. [Chapter 112 verses 1-4] The birth of Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him)was not any more supernatural than the creation of our father Adam. Allah said in the Noble Qur’an (Which is translated as follows); — Verily, the likeness of ‘Iesa (Jesus) before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: Be!--- and he was. [Chapter 3: verse 59] MISSION OF JESUS (Peace Be Upon Him): Our creator sent Prophets to set mankind on the right path. Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) was similarly one of the Messengers of God, he was prepared by God to be sent to the Jews (children of Israel) who had deviated from the teachings of prophet Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) He (Allah) taught him the Book, the wisdom, the Torah, the Gospel and supported him with numerous miracles to prove that he was a Messenger from Allah. In the Noble Qur’an Allah says (Which is translated as follows); — (Remember) when the angels said: O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah gives you the glad tidings of a Word [Be! -- and he was! i.e. ‘Iesa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary)] from him, his name will be the Messiah ‘Iesah (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allah, He will speak to the people in the cradle and in manhood, and he will be one of the righteous, She said: O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me, He said: So (it will be) for Allah creates what He wills. When He has decreed something, He says to it only: Be!---and it is And He (Allah) will teach him [‘Iesa (Jesus)] the Book and Al- Hikmah (i.e. the Sunnah, the faultless speech of the Prophets, wisdom, etc.), (and) the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), And will make him [‘Iesa (Jesus)] a Messenger to the children of Israel (saying): I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah’s Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allah’s Leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe, And I have to confirm that which was before me of the Taurat (Torah), and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you, and I have come to you with a proof from your Lord. So fear Allah and obey me. — [Chapter 3: verse 45-50] It should be mentioned that while Muslims believe that Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) was given God’s Good news they do not recognize the present Four Gospels as the utterances of Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him). Even the church agrees that the Four Gospels were written by four different men, but they maintain that they were divinely inspired. This idea is rejected by us. It can be agreed that if the four writers were divinely inspired, then why are there so many serious discrepancies and omissions in their individual accounts of the life of Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him)? Another mission of Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) was to tell the people about the coming of the final Prophet after him. The Almighty God said in the Noble Qur’an (Which is translated as follows); — And (remember) when ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah unto you confirming the Taurat [Torah which came] before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed . But when he (Ahmed i.e. Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him) came to them with clear proofs, they said: This is plain magic. [Chapter 6: verse 61]
