Is Jesus (A.S) God? Islamic Perspective with Quranic Proof

Q: As a Muslim, you believe that Hazrat Isa (A.S) was born without a father and could bring the dead back to life. These are extraordinary things. Isn’t that enough to call him God?

A: Allah has given a clear answer in the Quran, Surah Aal-e-Imran (3:59). In the sight of Allah, Hazrat Isa (A.S) is like Hazrat Adam (A.S). Allah created Adam (A.S) from clay and simply said, "Be," and he was created. If being born without a father is proof of divinity, then Hazrat Adam (A.S), who had neither a mother nor a father, should be considered even greater. This argument is completely invalid.

Q: But Hazrat Isa (A.S) brought the dead back to life and healed the blind. Isn’t this proof of his divinity?

A: All these miracles happened by the will of Allah. The Quran makes it clear that miracles do not make someone God. If performing miracles proves divinity, then Hazrat Musa (A.S) parting the sea should be considered an even greater miracle. The sea splitting is a historical fact, whereas curing blindness is still a debated topic, as even today, some claim to heal blindness. A sea splitting in two is an undeniable miracle.

So, if miracles define divinity, then Hazrat Musa (A.S) should also be considered God. But Islam teaches that everything happens by the will of Allah, and all prophets are His chosen servants, not divine beings.
