Jesus as a Word from God, Not a Begotten Son

“˹Remember˺ when the angels proclaimed, ‘O Mary! Allah gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name will be the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary; honoured in this world and the Hereafter, and he will be one of those nearest ˹to Allah˺.’”
(Qur'an 3:45)

Delivering the Good News of Jesus' Birth

The phrase “a Word from Him” refers to the creation of Jesus (ʿIsa), as he was created through Allah’s command:

“Be,” and he was.

For Allah, creating Jesus was no more difficult than creating any other human being. He simply says “Be,” and it is.

Jesus as the Begotten Son of God in the Bible

According to the Holy Bible (King James Version):

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
(John 3:16)

The English word “begotten” has traditionally been understood as meaning “brought forth” or in clear Language “having sex and producing a child.” Christians generally interpret this verse as emphasizing Jesus’ unique relationship with God and his role in salvation.

From the Islamic perspective, however, Allah does not beget nor is He begotten. Therefore, attributing sonship to God is blasphemy and rejected as contrary to pure monotheism (Tawhid).

The Oneness of Allah in the Qur'an

In Surah Al-Ikhlas (112:1–4):

“Say, ‘He is Allah, [Who is] One,
Allah, the Eternal Refuge.
He neither begets nor is born,
Nor is there to Him any equivalent.’”

And in Surah Al-An‘am (6:101):

“He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He does not have a companion, and He created all things? And He is, of all things, Knowing.”

Some modern Bible translations render the Greek word monogenēs as “one and only Son” rather than “only begotten Son,” avoiding any implication of biological descent. Nevertheless, the Islamic belief remains that Jesus was a prophet and servant of Allah, created by His command, and not the literal son of God.

Is it ok to have 2-3 wives or is it a sin

  Islamically taking even one girlfriend leads to flogging and even death in cases of sex with her for married but if someone wants to release his desire taking a halal wife there is nothing wrong except a reward from Allah. A person could even have 4 but make sure if you can't do the justice marry only one. The Key Verse: Surah An-Nisa 4:3 "...marry women of your choice, two, three, or four; but if you fear that you will not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one..." — Sahih International Translation The Quran and its Message +1

How I Left Porn for Allah|An Islamic Recovery Guide Introduction – The Shame of Sin vs the Sweetness of Leaving It for Allah There was a time in my life when I was only inches away from selling my Lord and His Hereafter for a few moments of forbidden pleasure — a step that could have dragged me into prostitution. A click, a glance, a touch — and it could have been over. The temptation was strong — the allure of semi-nude women who stirred my lust to disobey my Lord and commit masturbation and shameful deeds. I was on the verge of trading my Lord and my Hereafter for a fleeting, shameful sin. But then Allah intervened. He forbade me from shamelessness and reminded me of His command: “Indeed, Allah commands justice, good conduct, and giving to relatives, and forbids shamelessness (fahshā’), evil deeds (munkar), and transgression (baghy). He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.” (Qur’an 16:90) Allah promised something far greater than the temporary pleasure of this world — t...

What lessons do we carry forward if our spirit is reborn into a new life?

  On the False Belief of Reincarnation or Rebirth The belief in reincarnation or rebirth is false and rejected in Islam. Allah says in the Qur’an : “If they were returned, they would certainly revert to that which they were forbidden; and indeed, they are liars.” (Sūrah al-An‘ām 6:28) And Allah says: “Until, when death comes to one of them, he says: ‘My Lord, send me back, that I might do righteousness in that which I left behind.’ No! It is only a word he is saying…” (Sūrah al-Mu’minūn 23:99–100) These verses clearly prove that there is no return to worldly life to correct mistakes. If a person were returned, he would repeat the same denial and sins . There is no lesson in reincarnation , only the repetition of the same mistakes. Guidance is accepted before death , not after witnessing the unseen.
