is allah (sw) one or three? - Islam Center

(٢٨)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?With a long meaningful speech, Jesus (PBUH) answered them,explaining and refuting their claim, and proving to Christians theirincorrect understanding. (John 5:19 -47) I will summarize thesemeaningful points according to their subject.1- Jesus (PBUH) assured all that he was following Allah’s (S.W)path when he worked on the Sabbath, for he did not do somethingbut what agrees with Allah’s (S.W) statute. “Then answeredJesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he see theFather do: for what things so ever he doeth, these alsodoeth the Son likewise.” (John 5:19)2- He spoke about many great things that Allah (S.W) has given him,“For as the Father raised up the dead, and quicken them;even so the Son quicken whom he will. For the Fatherjudges no man, but hath committed all judgment unto theSon… For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath hegiven to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given himauthority to execute judgment also.” (John 5: 21- 27), but allthese gifts, were from Allah (S.W), and that did not mean that Jesus(PBUH) is Allah (S.W), for Allah (S.W) can do all that Himself withoutneeding any one to give Him anything.Jesus (PBUH) had clarified why he did so. It was because Allah(S.W) has given him these things considering his humanity and notdivinity. He says, “And hath given him authority to executejudgment also, because he is the Son of man.” (John 5: 27)He affirmed that he had no authority by himself, and he could not doany thing except what Allah (S.W) permitted him to do. “I can ofmine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and myjudgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but thewill of the Father which hath sent me.” (John 5: 30) That is toprove that he is the son of man, not the Son of Allah (S.W) in reality,or the second hypostasis in Trinity as the Church’s Councils claimed.The great miracles that Allah (S.W) gave to Jesus (PBUH) were fortwo reasons. The first, is as he (PBUH) said, “For the Fatherloves the Son, and shows him all things that himself doeth”.The second is to prove his prophet-hood and make the peoplebelieve in him. “And he will show him greater works thanthese that ye may marvel. That all men should honour the
