The Similarities Between the Creation of Adam and the Creation of `Isa
Bookmark

Allah said,﴿إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَى عِندَ اللَّهِ﴾(Verily, the likeness of `Isa before Allah) regarding Allah's ability, since He created him without a father,﴿كَمَثَلِ ءَادَمَ﴾(is the likeness of Adam), for Allah created Adam without a father or a mother. Rather,﴿خَلَقَهُ مِن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ﴾(He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!'' and he was.)Therefore, He Who created Adam without a father or a mother is able to create `Isa, as well, without a father. If the claim is made that `Isa is Allah's son because he was created without a father, then the same claim befits Adam even more. However, since such a claim regarding Adam is obviously false, then making the same claim about `Isa is even more false.Furthermore, by mentioning these facts, Allah emphasizes His ability, by creating Adam without a male or female, Hawa' from a male without a female, and `Isa from a mother without a father, compared to His creating the rest of creation from male and female. This is why Allah said in Surah Maryam,﴿وَلِنَجْعَلَهُ ءَايَةً لِّلْنَّاسِ﴾(And We made him a sign for mankind) ﴿19: 21﴾.Allah said in this Ayah,﴿الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلاَ تَكُنْ مِّن الْمُمْتَرِينَ ﴾((This is) the truth from your Lord, so be not of those who doubt.) meaning, this is the only true story about `Isa, and what is beyond truth save falsehood Allah next commands His Messenger to call those who defy the truth, regarding `Isa, to the Mubahalah (the curse).
