Refutation of the Divinity of Christ — Page 46
46 Messiah is God because Allah the Exalted in the Holy Quran has also declared Gabriel, peace be upon him, and the breath of man to be His Spirit as well. The fact of the matter is that all creations are indeed the creations of Allah the Exalted. Since the Messiah, peace be upon him, was His elect servant and one charged with the duty of delivering His Word, it is for this reason he was called r uh —spirit. In every language such annexations are for the pur- pose of respect and honour, as for example the she-camel of Sa le h is referred to in the Noble Quran as ِهّٰللا ُۃَقاَن — the she-camel of Allah , and Allah calls the virtuous people as عبادهللا meaning His servants. Most egregious Argument—Jesus is kalimah— Of all the arguments that I have heard in support of the Divinity of Christ, the most astonishing argument is that which the Christians have derived from the term کَلِمَۃ — kalimah [word]. The Christians claim that since the Messiah, peace be upon him, is the word of Allah, he must be God. Rebuttal— If in the idiom of the Holy Quran something being called the کَلِمَۃ هللا — kalimatull a h, ‘the word of Allah’ is an argu- ment in support of that thing being God, then all the words of Allah would have to be God. For example, it is stated in the Holy Quran that: 1 َو ْدَقَل ْتَقَبَس اَنُتَمِلَك اَنِداَبِعِل َنْيِلَسْرُمْلا And surely Our word has gone forth respecting Our servants, the Messengers. 1.
