Who Is Jesus (PBUH)? Is He the Son of God?
من هو عيسى عليه السلام ؟ هل هو ابن الله؟
Jesus pbuh was a Messenger like the other Messengers pbut. He was a man who was sent by Allah Almighty with miracles to support his prophethood. He was sent to pass on a Message from Allah Almighty to his people, the Children of Israel, in his days and to confirm what was in the Torah. (Corrected here from the original published English, which said 'mankind'; the scholar's Arabic and the Quran (3:49) say he was sent to the Children of Israel.)
He was born to Mary without a father as his birth was a miracle. Mary was a virgin and Allah inspired to her through the Angel Gabriel that she will bear a child who will be a Messenger.
So he is NOT the son of God. And He is not one of the three (The Father , the Son and the Holy Spirit).
(O People of the Book! Do not go to extremes regarding your faith; say nothing about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of Allah and the fulfilment of His Word through Mary and a spirit ˹created by a command˺ from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers and do not say, “Trinity.” Stop! - for your own good. Allah is only One God. Glory be to Him! He is far above having a son! To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs. The Messiah would never be too proud to be a servant of Allah, nor would the angels nearest to Allah. Those who are too proud and arrogant to worship Him will be brought before Him all together.) An-Nisa 4:171-172
(Indeed, those who say, “Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary,” have fallen into disbelief. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Who has the power to prevent Allah if He chose to destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, his mother, and everyone in the world all together?” To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between. He creates whatever He wills. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.) Al-Ma’idah 5:17
(Those who say, “Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary,” have certainly fallen into disbelief. The Messiah ˹himself˺ said, “O Children of Israel! Worship Allah - my Lord and your Lord.” Whoever associates others with Allah ˹in worship˺ will surely be forbidden Paradise by Allah. Their home will be the Fire. And the wrongdoers will have no helpers.) Al-Ma’idah 5:72
(Those who say, “Allah is one in a Trinity,” have certainly fallen into disbelief. There is only One God. If they do not stop saying this, those who disbelieve among them will be afflicted with a painful punishment.) Al-Ma’idah 5:73
(The Messiah, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger. ˹Many˺ messengers had ˹come and˺ gone before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They both ate food. See how We make the signs clear to them, yet see how they are deluded ˹from the truth˺!) Al-Ma’idah 5: 75
(and for their denial and outrageous accusation against Mary) An-Nisa 4: 156
(The Jews say, “Ezra is the son of Allah,” while the Christians say, “The Messiah is the son of Allah.” Such are their baseless assertions, only parroting the words of earlier disbelievers. May Allah condemn them! How can they be deluded ˹from the truth˺? They have taken their rabbis and monks as well as the Messiah, son of Mary, as lords besides Allah, even though they were commanded to worship none but One God. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. Glorified is He above what they associate ˹with Him˺!) At_Tawba 9: 30-31
كلا. عيسى عليه السلام رسول مثل كل الرسل عليهم السلام. هو رجل بعثه الله تعالى و أيده بمعجزات تتماشى مع عصره لتؤكد نبوته
و قد أرسله الله تعالى إلى قومه ليبلغهم رسالة الله وليصدق ما في التوراة.
ولد من أم هي مريم و كانت عذراء و دون أب مما يثبت معجزة ولادته. الله سبحانه أوحى إلى مريم بلسان جبريل أنها ستنجب ولدا و سيصبح ابنها رسولا مبعوثا
لذا فعيسى عليه السلام ليس ابن الله
و هو ليس من الثلاثة (الأب و الابن و روح القدس)

1. The True Quranic Identity of Jesus | حقيقة المسيح في كتاب الله العزيز
The Quran defines Jesus with absolute clarity: he is the son of Mary, a human prophet, and a messenger of resolute purpose. The phrase "word from Him" signifies that he was brought into existence through the divine creative command "Be" (Kun), not that he is a divine entity.
ذَٰلِكَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ قَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِي فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ (سورة مريم: 34)
يحدد القرآن هوية عيسى بدقة متناهية: فهو ابن مريم البتول، ورسول كريم خلقه الله بكلمته "كن" فكان. وكونه كلمة منه يعني أنه خُلق بأمر التكوين الإلهي المعجز لا أنه جزء من الذات الإلهية.
2. The Rejection of Divine Sonship | تنزيه الله المتعالي عن اتخاذ الولد
Islamic monotheism strictly rejects the concept that Allah has a son. In the Islamic understanding, sonship would imply physical reproduction, need, and likeness, all of which are impossible for the Self-Sufficient Creator who created the entire universe out of nothingness.
مَا كَانَ لِلَّـهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٍ سُبْحَانَهُ إِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ (سورة مريم: 35)
ينفي الإسلام القاطع نسبة الولد إلى الله، فاتخاذ الولد يستلزم النقص والحاجة والمشابهة، والله سبحانه الغني المطلق الواحد الأحد المنزه عن الصاحبة والشريك والنظير.
3. The Analogy of Adam and Jesus | حجة الخلق المعجز: مثل عيسى كمثل آدم
To those who claim a fatherless birth proves divinity, the Quran presents an undeniable rational argument: Prophet Adam was created from dust without a father and without a mother, yet no one claims Adam is divine. Jesus's birth is a sign of divine power, not of divine parentage.
إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَىٰ عِندَ اللَّـهِ كَمَثَلِ آدَمَ خَلَقَهُ مِن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ (سورة آل عمران: 59)
يرد القرآن بحجة عقلية دامغة على من ظن أن ولادة المسيح بلا أب دليل ألوهيته: فإن آدم عليه السلام خُلق من تراب بلا أب ولا أم، ومع ذلك فهو عبد مخلوق بالإجماع، فعيسى أولى أن يكون عبداً لله.
4. Meaning of "A Spirit from Him" (Ruhun Minhu) | البيان القرآني لمعنى "روح منه"
The description of Jesus as "a spirit from Him" (ruhun minhu) is an expression of honor, just as the Kaaba is called "the House of Allah" (Baytullah). The spirit breathed into Maryam was created by Allah and conveyed through Gabriel, belonging entirely to the realm of creation.
وَرُوحٌ مِّنْهُ (سورة النساء: 171)
إن وصف عيسى بأنه "روح منه" إضافة تشريف وتكريم، كقولنا "بيت الله" و"ناقة الله". فالروح مخلوقة من خلق الله أرسل بها جبريل عليه السلام، ولا تعني بحال أنها جزء من الذات الإلهية.
5. Proclamation of Pure Monotheism | دعوة المسيح الخالصة إلى عبادة الله وحده
Throughout the Quran, Jesus repeatedly clarifies his relationship to Allah: "Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path." Honoring Jesus means following his pristine monotheistic guidance.
وَإِنَّ اللَّـهَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُ هَـٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ (سورة مريم: 36)
أعلن عيسى في محكم التنزيل غايته ورسالته الكبرى: "وإن الله ربي وربكم فاعبدوه هذا صراط مستقيم". والتعظيم الحقيقي للمسيح إنما يكون باتباع دعوته إلى التوحيد الخالص.
