A.
Regarding the Sonship of Jesus:
That is Jesus, son of Mary, in word of
truth, concerning which they are doubting. It is not for God to take a son unto
Him. Glory be to Him! When He decrees a thing, He but says to it
"Be", and it is. (Qur'an 19:34-35)
And they say, 'The All-Merciful has taken
unto Himself a son.' You have indeed advanced something hideous. The heavens
are well nigh rent of it and the earth split asunder, and the mountains well
nigh fall down crashing for that they have attributed to the All-Merciful to
take a son. None is there in the heavens and earth but he comes to the
All-Merciful as a servant. (Qur'an 19:88-93)
Truly the likeness of Jesus, in God's
sight, is as Adam's likeness; He created him of dust, then said He unto him,
"Be", and he was. (Qur'an 3:59)
People of the Book, go not beyond the
bounds in your religion, and say not as to God but the Truth. The Messiah,
Jesus, son of Mary, was only the Messenger of God, and His word that He
committed to Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers,
and say not 'Three', Refrain, better it is for you. God is only One God. Glory
be to Him – that He should have a son! To Him belongs all that is in the
heavens and in the earth, God suffices for a guardian. (Qur'an 4:171)
B.
Regarding Jesus being God:
And when God said, 'O Jesus, son of Mary,
did you say unto men, "Take me and my mother as gods, apart from
God?" He said, 'To You be glory! It is not mine to say what I have no
right to. If I indeed said it, You knew it, knowing what is within my soul, and
I do not know what is within Your soul; You know the things unseen. I only said
to them what You did command me: "Serve God, my Lord and your Lord."
And I was a witness over them, while I remained among them; but when You did take
me to Yourself the Watcher over them; You are the witness over everything.
(Qur'an 5:116-117)
C.
Regarding the Crucifixion of Jesus:
And for their unbelief, and their uttering
against Mary a mighty calumny, and for their saying 'We slew the Messiah, Jesus
son of Mary, the Messenger of God'... yet they did not slay him, neither
crucified him, only a likeness of that was shown to them. Those who are at
variance concerning him surely are in doubt regarding him, they have no
knowledge of him, except the following of surmise; and they did not slay him of
certainty... no indeed; God raised him up to Him; God is Almighty, All-Wise.
There is not one of the people of the Book but will assuredly believe in him
before his death, and on the Resurrection Day he will be a witness against
them. (Qur'an 4:156-159).
