These foolish friends of Islam fail to understand that God is so Jealous for His Honour that He intends to uproot and elim- inate these false beliefs. He will not tolerate such idolatrous beliefs even for one moment. Those who ponder and study the Holy Quran know quite well the variety of strategies God has employed to crush falsehood. You see, the Christians had imagined the fatherless birth of Jesus as to be the proof of his ‘Divinity’. God humiliated and frustrated them by presenting the birth of Adam as as a counter argument, thus proving the falsity of their claim: 1 َّنِا َلَثَم ىٰسْيِع َدْنِع ِهّٰللا ِلَثَمَك َمَدٰا َّنِا َلَثَم ىٰسْيِع َدْنِع ِهّٰللا ِلَثَمَك َمَدٰا The Messiah as had no father but Adam as had neither father nor mother, and thus, holds greater right to ‘Divinity’ because here there was neither father nor mother—both were missing.

Remember well that had the will of God in reality been that Jesus as was alive in Heaven, He would most certainly have employed the tactic of providing a precedent to crush this argument in support of idolatry, and to crush the head of the monster of this falsehood. By not providing any precedent and 1. Surely, the case of Jesus with Allah is like the case of Adam ( S u rah A l-e-‘Imr a n, 3:60). [Publisher]
