Amazing Miracle : Jesus and Adam

| Verily, the likeness of Jesus before Allah is the likeness of Adam |

| The Holy Quran 3 : 59 |

While it may come as a surprise to some, the Qur’an is in fact a great source for anyone

wishing to learn about Jesus Christ! The Qur’an speaks with utmost respect and

beauty of this Holy Messenger and his mother Mary. As is well known, Jesus Christ

(pbuh) is one of the most popular and controversial personalities in history. To

some, he is seen as God, to others he is the son of God. Muslims in particular, however,

view Jesus Christ as a messenger of God, who was sent to spread God’s word and

obey his commands, as did Moses (pbuh), Noah (pbuh), Abraham (pbuh) and those

who were sent before him, as well as Muhammad (pbuh) who was sent after

him. Muslims have a most honourable regard for Jesus, and belief in him is a

condition of Islam.

There is no doubt that there are people who are sceptical about the Qur’an and consider

it the written word of Muhammad, and it is the duty of a Muslim to acknowledge and

respect all opinions, so long as they can be logically and fairly proven.

There are also people who deny the Prophets and the miracles that came with

them. Among those are the miracles of the creation of Adam and Jesus Christ. God's

response to those rejecting such miracles is: (Verily, the likeness of Jesus before Allah

is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then He said to him: "Be!" - and he

was.) [Al-Imran: 59].

In examining this verse, we notice that God Almighty tells us that Jesus Christ, like

Adam (pbuh), was created without a father. Similarly, both were Prophets, and both

presented a miracle in the way in which their exemplary morals and behaviour were

different from those of ordinary people. This is the Islamic argument; that Jesus cannot

be regarded as divine simply because he had no father, because if that holds true, then

Adam must also be considered divine as he had neither a father nor a mother.

But the question is: How can this verse really convince someone who simply rejects the

Qur’an as the true word of God? After all, a sceptic has every right to be sceptical, but

along with this scepticism comes a right upon him to seek proof in order to erase any

doubt beyond question! So is there any physical proof for the truth of these words? Is

there something, within this verse, that can tangibly prove the proposed similarities

between Jesus and Adam? No judgment is made in the words to follow; this is left for

the reader to contemplate.

What is interesting is that this connection between Jesus and Adam is not merely

confined to the meaning of the verse as explained above. This connection even exists

with regards to the various mentions of both Jesus and Adam in the Qur’an.

To explain further, if we look for the word ‘Jesus’ in the Qur’an, we find that it is

mentioned 25 times in the Qur’an. Similarly, if we look at the mention of ‘Adam’ in

the Qur’an, we find, again, that it is mentioned exactly 25 times!

It is only natural for an atheist, probably even a Muslim, to consider this a coincidence.

Therefore, we must look further, and see whether God Almighty has deposited in this

verse any consistent numerical symmetry that could destroy any possibility of

coincidence.

Now, reflecting on the various verses where Jesus and Adam are mentioned, we find

that the previous verse – (Verily, the likeness of Jesus before Allah is the likeness of

Adam) - is the only verse in the Qur’an where both Jesus and Adam were mentioned

collectively. In no other verse do the two names meet; this gives the verse a pivotal

importance in our discussion.

Furthermore, and amazingly enough, the number of times the word Adam was

mentioned from the beginning of the Qur’an up to this crucial verse is 7 times, and the

number of times Jesus was mentioned from the beginning of the Qur’an up to this verse

is also 7 times!

To better illustrate this beautiful consistency, each of the 25 verses mentioning Jesus

and Adam are listed below in their order of appearance in the Qur’an:

The above facts demonstrate the accurateness of the Qur’an in its depiction of Jesus

and Adam, not only in terms of meaning, but also in terms of context and numerical

symmetry. Both prophets are mentioned 25 times, and the sole place where they meet

together is at the point where both happen to be mentioned for precisely the seventh

time. In addition, anyone who reads the Qur’an will note that this is not a deliberate

play on words to simply preserve consistency; meaning and context are never lost

throughout the verses of this Holy Book.

Finally, this is simply one out of thousands of similar examples that have been

discovered in the Qur’an, and the question is whether all these can come by chance? Or

is it in fact God Almighty who preserved this perfect balance? This is left to the reader’s

discretion, but regardless the answer, the ever-present challenge of the Qur’an to all of

mankind and angels still resonates today: (Say: If the whole of mankind and the Jinns

were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the

like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support.) [Al-Isra’: 88].

Jesus is a sign of God’s power, where God showed people that He could create Jesus

without a father, as He created Adam without any parents. Similarly, just as God

created Adam with no father or mother, Jesus’ birth was from mother with no father.

All that is needed for God for something to happen is to say “Be” and it is; for God is

capable of all things. Adam was created when God said, “Be,” and he to be without

a father or a mother. And so was Jesus created by the Word of God. If the unusual

birth of Jesus makes him divine, then Adam deserves more of that divinity because

Jesus at least had one parent, while Adam had none. As Adam is not divine, so is Jesus

not divine, but both are humble servants of God.

[ Verily, Jesus is as Adam in the sight of God. He created him of dust: He then said

to him, “Be” – and he was ]

[ The Quran 3 : 59 ]

quoted from : Salvation in Jesus

Jesus was born miraculously by the command of God, the same command that had

brought Adam into being with neither a father nor a mother.

i find it make sense and logical too its simply mean that He Who created Adam

without a father or a mother is able to create Jesus, as well, without a father. If the

claim is made that`Jesus is God's son because he was created without a father, then the

same claim befits Adam even more. However, since such a claim regarding Adam is

obviously false, then making the same claim about Jesus is even more false. And this

is a comparison of one remarkable thing with another more remarkable, so that it

convinces the disputer and establishes itself in one's mind more effectively. He created

him, Adam, that is, his form, of dust, then said He to him, 'Be,', a human being, and he

was; similarly, He said to Jesus, 'Be' - without a father - and he was.

God says in the Quran :

| Originator of the heavens and the earth. Whenever He decrees a thing, He says to

it, 'Be,' and it becomes |

| The Holy Quran 2 : 117 |

Verses that refer to the process of creation in the Qur'an are rich with allusion (isharah),

and contain tremendous subtlety of meaning. They resonate richly with multiple layered

connotations and implications which we, with our present state of knowledge,

understand only a little. This is the case for the verses which refer to creation in general,

as well as for those which refer to the creation and development of the heavens and the

earth, the creation and development of life, the creation and development of human

beings, and the creation and development of the first human, Adam. The actual act of

creation and God's creative power is, however, focused into a single concentrated word

of origination: “Be!”

"Be, and it is" (كن فيكون kun fa-yakūnu) is a phrase that occurs several times in the

Qur'an. It refers to creation by Allah. In Arabic the imperative verb be (kun) is

spelled with the letters kāf and nūn.[ SOURCE ]

| The Holy Quran 3 : 47 |

| It is He who created the heavens and the earth in truth. On the Day when He says:

'Be,' it will be. His saying is the truth, and His is the sovereignty on the Day when the

trumpet is blown. The Knower of secrets and declarations. He is the Wise, the Expert |

| The Holy Quran 6 : 73 |

| That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.

it does not befit the majesty of God that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him!

He is far above that: when He decrees something, He says only, Be! and it is. [Jesus

continued]: "God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path." |

| The Holy Quran 19 : 34-36 |

| His command, when He wills a thing, is to say to it, 'Be,' and it comes to be |

“ I have read in Moslem writings such deep and tender expressions of respect and

reverence for Jesus ”

another interesting words :

“ I learned to love Jesus more than my own parents ”

from the scripture its clear that all prophets and messengers of God share and preach

the same message as we can see from the verses :

- Moses PBUH : “ Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.” ( Deuteronomy

6:4 )

- Jesus Christ son of Mary PBUH : “Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord.”

( Mark 12:29 )

- Muhammad PBUH : “ And your God is One God ” ( The Quran 2:163 )

| They are not all alike. Among the People of the Book are upright people, reading God's

verses all night as they bow down. They believe in God and the Last Day, order what

is obviously right, forbid what is obviously wrong, and they are quick to do good deeds.

They are righteous. The good they do will not be forgotten. God knows those who are

mindful of Him |

| The Holy Quran 3:113-115 |

- People of the Book or People of the Scripture a Term referring to Jews and

Christians.

The messenger of God, Jesus, says:

“ And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus

Christ whom you have sent ”

- God is ONE

- Jesus is a Messenger of God
