294 Jesus, Praphet of Islam

They do not speak before He has spoken, and what they

do is by His commando He knows whatis aheadofthem

and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede ex­

cept on behalf of whomever is pleasing to Him, and they

tremble in fear of Him. And if one of them were to say,

'Surely 1 am God and not Him,' then we would repay

anyone like that with HeU -that is how We reward

wrong doers. (Qur'an 21: 25-29).

And:

They say: 'God has chosen a son.' - Glory be to Him! ­

He is the Self-Sufficient! Whatever is in the heavens and

whateveris in the earthbelongs to Him. You do not have

any authority for (saying) this. Why do you say things

about God of which you have no knowledge? Say:

'Surely those who make up a lie about God will not be

successful.' They will pass their time in this world, and

thento Us they willreturn, andthenWe will make them

taste intense punishment because they used to disbe­

lieve. (Qur'an 10: 68-70).

Thus in the opening ayat of Surat al-Kahf, God states that one of
the reasons why the Qur'an has been revealed is to wam those who
daim that God has a son:

ln the Name of God the Merciful the Compassionate

Praise belongs to God Who has revealed the Book to

His slave (Muhammad). And He has not put any dis­

tortion in it, only darity, in order to warn of a severe

punishment from Him, and to give good news to the

believers who do good that theirs will be a good reward,

where they will dweU for ever, and to warn those who

say, 'God has chosen a son,' which is something they

know nothing about, and neither did their fathers. The

words which they utter are dreadful-surely what they

say is nothing but a lie. (Qur'an 18: 1-5).
