Jesus in Qur'an 293

Say: 'Are you telling me to worship other than God? ­

You fools!' (Qur'an 39: 64).

And:

Blessed is the One Who has revealed the Discrimina­

tion (between right and wrong) to His slave (Muham­

mad), so that he might be a warner to all the worlds ­

the One to Whom the dominion of the heavens and the

earth belongs - and He has not chosen a son, and He

does not have any partner to share the dominion, and

He has created everything and determined its destiny.

• And yet they have chosen gods instead of Him who
  cannot create anything but are themselves created, and
  who do not have any power either to harm or to benefit
  themselves, and who do not have any power over ei­
  ther death, or life, or raising the dead! (Qur'an 25: 1-3).

And:

And they say,'TheMercifulhaschosena son.'You have

indeed come up with something terrible - so that the

heavens are almost tom apart, and the earth split open,

and the mountains scattered in pieces -that you should

daim that the Merciful has a son! And it is not in the

nature of things for the Merciful to choose a son -when

every one in the heavens and the earth only cornes to the

Merciful as a slave. He certainly knows them all - and

He knows their number exactly -and each of them will

come to Him on the Day of Standing, alone. (Qur'an 19:

88-95).

And:

And We did not send any Messenger in the past with­

out inspiring in him, 'Surely there is no god except Me

• so worship Me.' And they say, 'The Merciful has cha­
  sen a son.' Glory be to Him! - They are only slaves who
  have been honoured:
