(٣٩)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?Similarly, Mark said, "Whoever receives <strong>one</strong> such child in myname receives me, and whoever receives me, receives notme but Him who sent me." (Mark 9:37). Th<strong>is</strong> passage does notmean that the boy <strong>is</strong> Jesus (PBUH) himself, <strong>or</strong> that Jesus (PBUH) <strong>is</strong>Allah (S.W) Himself. It means that, he (PBUH) tells us that whoeverdoes good deeds f<strong>or</strong> the child, <strong>is</strong> the same as doing it f<strong>or</strong> him, and <strong>is</strong>obeying Allah (S.W) and H<strong>is</strong> <strong>or</strong>ders.Similarly, as any<strong>one</strong> who has seen Jesus (PBUH) <strong>is</strong> considered as ifhe <strong>or</strong> she has seen Allah (S.W), then whoever accepts Jesus(PBUH) and h<strong>is</strong> d<strong>is</strong>ciples, has accepted Allah (S.W), and whoeverhas denied their message, he <strong>or</strong> she – in fact- has denied Allah’sLaw. Theref<strong>or</strong>e, Jesus (PBUH) said, "The <strong>one</strong> who hears youhears me, and the <strong>one</strong> who rejects you rejects me, and the<strong>one</strong> who rejects me rejects him who sent me." (Luke 10:16)He (PBUH) confirms that again when he said, “Whoever receivesyou receives me, and whoever receives me receives himwho sent me.” (Matt. 10:40) similarly, whoever has seen Jesus(PBUH) it <strong>is</strong> the same as seeing Allah (S.W), because, as he said,“Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father<strong>is</strong> in me? The w<strong>or</strong>ds that I say to you I do not speak on myown auth<strong>or</strong>ity, but the Father who dwells in me does h<strong>is</strong>w<strong>or</strong>ks.” (John 14:10).In the Book of Acts, when Peter spoke to Ananias regarding thefield’s m<strong>one</strong>y, <strong>is</strong> similar. “While it remained unsold, did it notremain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at yourd<strong>is</strong>posal? Why <strong>is</strong> it that you have contrived th<strong>is</strong> deed inyour heart? You have not lied to men but to God." WhenAnanias heard these w<strong>or</strong>ds, he fell down and breathed h<strong>is</strong>last. And great fear came upon all who heard of it.” (Acts 5:4-5). To lie to people <strong>is</strong> to lie – in fact - to Allah (S.W), and that doesnot mean that people and Allah (S.W) are the same.The seeing, when he said “Who has seen me has seen the Father” <strong>is</strong>metaph<strong>or</strong>ic, which <strong>is</strong> the insight seeing and not the sight, and th<strong>is</strong>insight seeing <strong>is</strong> f<strong>or</strong> all believers, who are from Allah (S.W). Jesus(PBUH) said, “not that any<strong>one</strong> has seen the Father except hewho <strong>is</strong> from God; he has seen the Father.” (John 6:46) and allthe believers are from Allah (S.W). “Every<strong>one</strong> who believes thatJesus <strong>is</strong> the Chr<strong>is</strong>t has been b<strong>or</strong>n of God, and every<strong>one</strong> who
