Injeel for Muslims
Is Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh the Son of Allah?
In our last episode, we discussed the miraculous birth of Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh from Matthew 1:18-25. For some listeners, the question of whether Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh is the Son of Allah will naturally arise from this discussion.
There has been an unfortunate misunderstanding between followers of Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh and the Muslim community over the term, "Son of God." The reason is that the Qur'an misunderstands this term by indicating that followers of Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh believe that Allah tala took Hazrat Miryam (PBUH) as His wife and bore a physical son through her. I cannot emphasize enough how wicked and wrong this statement is! How can the Almighty take a wife like us? The creator of heaven and earth has never taken a spouse. Two ayats of the Qu'ran that indicate this misunderstanding are:
"And exalted is the Majesty of our Lord: He has taken neither a wife nor a son." (Qur'an Surah al-Jinn 72:3)
"How can God have a son when he has no consort?" (Qur'an Sarah al-An'am 6:101a)
As you can see, both verses indicate that Allah tala had a physical son through a wife. This teaching is haram and evil!
Instead, the Injeel Sharif indicates that Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh is the SPIRITUAL son of Allah. The term "Son of God" is used at least a hundred times in the Injeel Sharif. Therefore, followers of Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh cannot abandon this term, since it is a name given by the Almighty. Here are five such verses:
· Allah called Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh His Son in Matthew 3:17 b y speaking as a voice from heaven.
· In Matthew 8:29, two demon-possessed men called Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh the Son of God, showing that Shaytan also recognizes that Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh is the Son of God.
· In Matthew 16:16, the disciples of Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh called Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh the Son of God.
· In Matthew 26:63-64, Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh called Himself the Son of God.
· In Matthew 27:54, Unbelievers called Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh the Son of God
If all of these testify that Hazrat Isa all-Maseeh is the Son of Allah, then we as followers of Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh must also use that term. Allah tala wants to show us the closeness of Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh with Himself. The term, Son of God, is one more indication of the greatness of Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh.
