4.The genitive construction in Arabic (the possessive phrase), linking the word
{spirit} to Allah (Glorious & Exalted) is as in the Noble Verse, {...and a spirit from
Him...}
First: this genitive construction confers honor because it falls under the category
of created things that belong to Allah, such as the Messenger of Allah, as in the Verse,
{...Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah...}[Al-Fath 48: 29], the House of Allah, as in
the Verse, {...and sanctify My House for those who circumambulate it...}[Al-Hajj 22:
26], and Allah's she-camel, as in the Verse, {...this she-camel of Allah is a sign to
you...}[Hud 11: 64]
Second: the linking of the word {spirit} to Allah (Glorious & Exalted) is further
explained in the Noble Verse, {And He has subjected to you all that is in the heavens
and all that is in the earth; it is all as a favor and kindness from Him.}[Al-Jaathiyah
45: 13]
{it is all...from Him} means: from His creation and from unto Him. {from} does not
denote divisibility, but rather initiation of purpose.
Third: the linking of the word {spirit} to Allah Almighty, in that the Messiah
(peace be upon him) used to raise the dead by Allah's Leave, as a miracle given unto
him, as a sign of his prophet hood and message. However, the Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) was also granted miracles, such as the miracle of the weeping tree trunk
from which he used to deliver his sermon, and it is known that the bringing to life of
soulless wood is greater than the revival of a corpse that had once contained a soul.
It was also less than what happened to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) when the
poisoned lamb meat spoke after it had been slaughtered and roasted.
Fourth: the linking of the word {spirit} to Allah Almighty, because it was not the
Word that became the Messiah, Jesus; rather, Jesus (peace be upon him) came into
being by the Word.
Fifth: the linking of the word {spirit} to Allah Almighty, because the Messiah,
Jesus (peace be upon him), was created from a spirit created by Allah Almighty.
Sixth: the linking of the word {spirit} to Allah Almighty means: the spirit Allah
(Blessed & Exalted) sent the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon him) with, since all
creatures have a soul, but does that mean that they are all gods or that they have a
Divine Nature?
Seven: the linking of the word {spirit} to Allah Almighty, since the Angel Gabriel
(peace be upon him) blew his soul into the Virgin Mary that she might give birth to
the Messiah, Jesus (peace be upon him). Thus, it is one of His mysteries.
Eight: The Saying of Allah, {...and a spirit from Him...} means: a messenger from
Him or out of love for Him.
