174 And the Graciousness, Mercifulness, and Mastery of God Almighty are proven from these verses: 1 ِكِلٰم ِمْوَي ِنْيِّدلا۰۰ ِنٰمْحَّرلا ِمْيِحَّرلا۰۰ ُدْمَحْلَا ِهّٰلِل ِّبَر َنْيِمَلٰعْلا۰۰ I will now give the remaining answers to Deputy Abdullah Atham herein below. He said the soul of Jesus was created and his body was also created, and the relationship of God Almighty with Jesus was there because God is present everywhere. I cannot understand this statement of Deputy sahib because if Prophet Jesus was just a mere human being, and there was no uniqueness in him, and his connection with God Almighty was simply that God Almighty is present everywhere and yet despite this, you give emphasis to the statement that he was a mani- festation of Allah. I wonder how he could be a manifestation of Allah? What is certain through this argument is that everything is a manifes- tation of Allah. Then, another question that I have is whether his becoming a man- ifestation of Allah happened before the Holy Spirit descended on him or after that? If it happened afterward, then what was his uniqueness? Then, you say that we do not believe the being of God to be a sub- stance so how can there be any weight in him? My answer to this is that it is proven that the Son—that is to say, Jesus—was a being with a body because it is written that the Revealed Word was made flesh and the Holy Spirit was also given a body as it is written that it descended in the form of a dove and your God also has a body because He wrestled with Jacob and He was also seen, and it is also said that the Son went and sat on His right-hand side. Then you speak about multiplicity in Unity, but I do not under- stand how a real multitude and real unity can come together in one 1. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds, the Gracious, the Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment ( S u rah al-F a ti h ah, 1:2–4). [Publisher]
