Adam & Jesus

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Verse 3:59 tells us that, with Allah Almighty, Jesus was like Adam. They were alike in one respect; they were both born asexually. Both did not have a human father.

That is the plain interpretation of that Verse. But Allah had put a numerical code in the Qur'aan, perhaps completely unknown to the Arabs to whom the Qur'aan was revealed, to prove that the Holy Book was divine, and not man-made!

Adam occurs 25 times in the entire Qur'aan. Jesus (Aaeesa) also occurs 25 times therein!

Not only that!

Before Verse 3:59, Adam occurs 6 times in the Qur’aan, and so does Jesus occur 6 times! And after Verse 3:59, Adam occurs 18 times, and so does Jesus!!

I have verified this myself.

Besides Verse 3:59, in which both Adam and Jesus are mentioned, Adam is mentioned in Verses 2:31, 2:33, 2:34, 2:35, 2:37, 3:33, 5:27, 7:11, 7:19, 7:26, 7:27, 7:31, 7:35, 7:172, 17:61, 17:70, 18:50, 19:58, 20:115, 20:116, 20:117, 20:120, 20:121, & 36:60. Whereas, Jesus is mentioned in 2:87, 2:136, 2:253, 3:45, 3:52, 3:55, 3:84, 4:157, 4:163, 4:171, 5:46, 5:78, 5:110, 5:112, 5:114, 5:116, 6:85, 19:34, 33:7, 42:13, 43:63, 57:27, 61:6, & 61:14.

Imagine, this was done when there was no computer! There was not even paper then to write on! And the Qur'aan was revealed, in portions, during a long spell of 23 years!!! Could any man have inserted this utterly astonishing code? Surely, a human mind can even then deny divine authorship of the Qur'aan only under Satanic influence!

O Muslims - 58

 

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Extract from QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART II:

69. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la takoonoo kaallatheena athaw moosa fabarraahu Allahu mimmaqaloo wakana AAinda Allahi wajeehan

---

33:69. O you who believe! Be not like those who offended Moses, but Allah cleared him of what they said.¹⁴ And he had an honourable standing with Allah.

---

14. The Qur’aan does not specify what his people had said that offended Moses. Jewish and Christian scriptures do give some details, but since Allah Ta’ala, in His wisdom, has not thought it fit to divulge the offending accusations, we should not even try to find out what those were. People of Medina had also similarly offended Prophet Muhammad, but the Qur’aan has not divulged what that offending episode was, except for giving a general admonition to the people against believing in unsubstantiated rumours.

Declaration of Faith

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Excerpt from Chapter 2 of QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir:

136. Qooloo amanna biAllahi wama onzila ilayna wama onzila ila ibraheema wa-ismaAAeela wa-ishaqa wayaAAqooba waal-asbati wama ootiya moosa waAAeesa wama ootiya alnnabiyyoona min rabbihim la nufarriqu bayna ahadin minhum wanahnu lahu muslimoona

---

136. You say²⁰³, "We do believe in Allah. And we do believe in what has been sent down to us, and in what had been sent down upon Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the descendent Tribes. And we do believe in what had been given to Moses and Jesus, and to the Prophets from their Lord. We differentiate not between any of them. And we do submit unto Him."²⁰⁴

---

203. Since the verb used here is in the plural form, the addressees of this divine command are obviously all the believers.

204. This divinely dictated Declaration of Faith, that every believer has solemnly to make, categorically proclaims the Unity of Faith. We are made to declare specifically that we do not hold any of the Prophets above the others. And yet, in practice, we do just the opposite! We hold our Prophet above the other Prophets. Just like the Jews, the Christians and the others hold their own Prophets above the others. They, of course, go to the extent of deifying their Prophets. But, alas, we are not lagging far behind them!
