The Quran has also affirmed that you do not possess any proof in support of the Messiah being God, so why have you become the claimants of his Divinity and this is clear from the subject matter of the above verse. Just as the Divinity of Christ has been refuted, so has the repugnant belief been refuted that the Messiah, peace be upon him, was the Son of Allah, as follows: ُمُكِلٰذ اَل ُهُكِرْدُت ىّٰنَا ُنْوُكَي ٗهَل ٌدَلَو َّو ْمَل ْنُكَت ٗهَّل ٌةَبِحاَص١ؕ َو َقَلَخ َّلُك ٍءْيَش١ۚ َو َوُه ِّلُكِب ٍءْيَش ٌمْيِلَع۰۰ ُهّٰللا ْمُكُّبَر١ۚ ۤاَل َهٰلِا اَّلِا َوُه١ۚ ُقِلاَخ ِّلُك ٍءْيَش ُهْوُدُبْعاَف١ۚ َو َوُه ىٰلَع ِّلُك ٍءْيَش ٌلْيِكَّو۰۰ — ُراَصْبَاْلا١ٞ َو َوُه ُكِرْدُي َراَصْبَاْلا١ۚ َو َوُه ُفْيِطَّللا ُرْيِبَخْلا۰۰ 2 Part 7, S u rah al-An‘ a m, Ruk u ‘ 13 How can He have a son when He has no consort, and when He has created everything and has knowledge of all things?
