Reply to Shayna's plea for all Muslims to read this and think about this

Hi Shayna,

Assalaamu alaikum,

The prophet Jesus (PBUH) is similiar to the prophet Adam(PBUH) in that regard.

[3:59] The example of JESUS, as far as GOD is concerned, is the same as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him, "Be," and he was.

[3:45] The angels said, "O Mary, GOD gives you good news: a Word from Him whose name is `The Messiah, JESUS the son of Mary. He will be prominent in this life and in the Hereafter, and one of those closest to Me.'

[3:47] She said, "My Lord, how can I have a son, when NO MAN HAS TOUCHED ME?" He said, "GOD thus creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He simply says to it, `Be,' and it is.

[66:12] Also MARY, the Amramite. She maintained her chastity, then we blew into her from our spirit. She believed in the words of her Lord and His scriptures; she was obedient.

Trinity: A False Doctrine

[4:171] O people of the scripture, do not transgress the limits of your religion, and do not say about GOD except the truth. The Messiah, JESUS, the son of Mary, was a messenger of GOD, and His word that He had sent to Mary, and a revelation from Him. Therefore, you shall believe in GOD and His messengers. You shall not say, "Trinity." You shall refrain from this for your own good. GOD is only one god. Be He glorified; He is much too glorious to have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. GOD suffices as Lord and Master.

The Gospel of Jesus: Guidance and Light

[5:46] Subsequent to them, we sent JESUS, the son of Mary, confirming the previous scripture, the Torah. We gave him the Gospel, containing guidance and light, and confirming the previous scriptures, the Torah, and augmenting its guidance and light, and to enlighten the righteous.

[5:110] GOD will say, "O JESUS, son of Mary, remember My blessings upon you and your mother. I supported you with the Holy Spirit, to enable you to speak to the people from the crib, as well as an adult. I taught you the scripture, wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel. Recall that you created from clay the shape of a bird by My leave, then blew into it, and it became a live bird by My leave. You healed the blind and the leprous by My leave, and revived the dead by My leave. Recall that I protected you from the Children of Israel who wanted to hurt you, despite the profound miracles you had shown them. The disbelievers among them said, `This is obviously magic.'

On The Day Of Resurrection

[5:116] GOD will say, "O JESUS, son of Mary,* did you say to the people, `Make me and my mother idols beside GOD?' " He will say, "Be You glorified. I could not utter what was not right. Had I said it, You already would have known it. You know my thoughts, and I do not know Your thoughts. You know all the secrets.

Blasphemies

[9:30] The Jews said, "Ezra is the son of GOD," while the Christians said, "JESUS is the son of GOD!" These are blasphemies uttered by their mouths. They thus match the blasphemies of those who have disbelieved in the past. GOD condemns them. They have surely deviated.

The Proven Truth

[9:31] They have set up their religious leaders and scholars as lords,* instead of GOD. Others deified the Messiah, son of MARY. They were all commanded to worship only one god. There is no god except He. Be He glorified, high above having any partners.

[5:72] Pagans indeed are those who say that GOD is the Messiah, son of MARY. The Messiah himself said, "O Children of Israel, you shall worship GOD; my Lord and your Lord." Anyone who sets up any idol beside GOD, GOD has forbidden Paradise for him, and his destiny is Hell. The wicked have no helpers.

[19:37] The various parties disputed among themselves (regarding the identity of JESUS). Therefore, woe to those who disbelieve from the sight of a terrible day.

I hope this helps.

May God grant his peace and blessings upon you
