hazrat isa (A.H)

The Banu Israil were given many favours by Almighty Allah but they were very ungrateful. They violated Allah’s orders, ridiculed the prophets and even killed some of them. They started to worship idols and made a mockery of Allah’s message. Allah, the Merciful, again sent a prophet to bring them to the right path. This prophet was ‘Isa, son of Maryam (Mary) (2:87).Allah bestowed on him the Injil (Gospel) and ‘Isa confirmed what was in the Tawrah (Torah) (5:46, 61:6). Prophet ‘Isa had a miraculous birth. He was born of the virgin Maryam without a father, by Allah’s command (19:1 7—2 1). Allah can do anything He likes . Everything is possible for Him. When He wants to get something done, He only says, ‘Be’ and there it is (2:117). We know that Adam was created by Allah without a father and a mother. So, it was no wonder that Allah could create ‘Isa without a father. ‘Isa, born of virgin Maryam, could talk even as a baby. He was made a prophet when he was 30, and he did his duty as a prophet for three years (19:29—34). Allah endowed him with some miraculous powers. He could make birds out of clay, heal leprosy within minutes, restore the eyes of the blind and also make the dead come alive. He could do all these miracles by the mercy of Allah. The Quran mentions the miraculous powers and the birth of ‘Isa in Sarah Al-Imran “(And remember,) when the angels said: 0, Mary! Allah gives you the glad tidings of a word from Him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, illustrious in the World and the Hereafter and one of those brought near (‘unto Allah). He will speak to mankind in his cradle and in his manhood, and he is of the righteous. She (Mary) said: My Lord! How can I have a child when no mortal has touched me? He said, So (it will be,).Allah creates what He wishes. If He decrees a thing, He says to it only: Be, and it is. And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. And will make him a messenger to the Children of Israil, (saying,): I come to you with a sign from my Lord. See! I fashion for you out of clay the likeness of a bird, by Allah’s leave. I heal him who was born blind and the leper, and I raise the dead, by Allah’s leave. And I announce to you what you eat and what you store up in your houses. Here truly is a portent for you, if you are to he believers. And I come to you confirming what was before me of the Torah, and to make lawful some of what was forbidden to you. I come to you as a sign from your Lord, so keep your duty to Allah and obey me. Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” (3:46—51) He asked the people to obey Allah alone but some of his followers made fantasies about him and they considered him a part of Allah, even a son of Allah (5:11 6—i 17). Muslims believe in Isa as a prophet and a servant of Allah (43:59) .They do not believe that he is the son of Allah. Allah does not have a son or daughter. He is not like any of the creatures He has created. There is none like Him. Allah is One and Indivisible. (5:17; 19:35). According to the Qur’an, Prophet ‘Isa was not crucified; rather, he was taken up by Allah, the Almighty and the Most Wise (4:157—158). Everything is possible for Allah. It was He who saved Ibrahim from the fire and Musa from Fir’awn. He is the only Creator of the whole universe and all that is in it.
