The Christians however do worship Isa son <strong>of</strong> Maryam, though <strong>the</strong> reason is<br />
not due to Isa being pious. They believe that god had taken <strong>the</strong> human form<br />
as Isa (I seek shelter in Allah!) and prayed directly to him, as Allah Azawajul<br />
says in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an:<br />
005.017 They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is <strong>the</strong> Messiah,<br />
son <strong>of</strong> Mary. Say: Who <strong>the</strong>n can do aught against Allah, if He had willed to<br />
destroy <strong>the</strong> Messiah son <strong>of</strong> Mary, and his mo<strong>the</strong>r and everyone on earth ?<br />
Allah's is <strong>the</strong> Sovereignty <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> heavens and <strong>the</strong> earth and all that is<br />
between <strong>the</strong>m. He createth what He will. And Allah is Able to do all things.<br />
Divinity?<br />
We are aware that Christians believe in Isa’s divinity, however <strong>the</strong>y did not<br />
worship him because he was pious, or respectable, or he showed his nation<br />
miracles. The reason <strong>the</strong>y worshipped him was because <strong>of</strong> his miraculous<br />
birth. Allah Azawajul answers this claim <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>irs in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an:<br />
003.059 Lo! <strong>the</strong> likeness <strong>of</strong> Jesus with Allah is as <strong>the</strong> likeness <strong>of</strong> Adam. He<br />
created him <strong>of</strong> dust, <strong>the</strong>n He said unto him: Be! and he is.<br />
They also called Isa (peace be upon him) <strong>the</strong> son <strong>of</strong> god, which is <strong>the</strong> worse<br />
possible insult to Allah Most Glorious as Allah <strong>the</strong> One says in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an:<br />
019.088 And <strong>the</strong>y say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son.<br />
019.089 Assuredly ye utter a disastrous thing<br />
019.090 Whereby almost <strong>the</strong> heavens are torn, and <strong>the</strong> earth is split asunder<br />
and <strong>the</strong> mountains fall in ruins,<br />
019.091 That ye ascribe unto <strong>the</strong> Beneficent a son,<br />
019.092 When it is not meet for (<strong>the</strong> Majesty <strong>of</strong>) <strong>the</strong> Beneficent that He<br />
should choose a son.<br />
019.093 There is none in <strong>the</strong> heavens and <strong>the</strong> earth but cometh unto <strong>the</strong><br />
Beneficent as a slave.<br />
