(٥٤)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?(meaning without a father), <strong>or</strong> because he declared Allah’s (S.W)w<strong>or</strong>d.- Allah’s (S.W) w<strong>or</strong>d can also mean H<strong>is</strong> prom<strong>is</strong>e; prophetJeremiah told about the Israelite people and their urging f<strong>or</strong> theday of curse and pun<strong>is</strong>hment, which Allah (S.W) had prom<strong>is</strong>edthem. “Behold, they say to me, "Where <strong>is</strong> the w<strong>or</strong>d ofthe LORD? Let it come!" I have not run away frombeing your shepherd, n<strong>or</strong> have I desired the day ofsickness.” (Jeremiah 17:15-16)Jesus (PBUH), acc<strong>or</strong>ding to th<strong>is</strong>, <strong>is</strong> Allah’s (S.W) w<strong>or</strong>d, meaning he<strong>is</strong> the prom<strong>is</strong>ed w<strong>or</strong>d, the good tidings that Allah (S.W) had f<strong>or</strong>etoldus by h<strong>is</strong> prophets. (Peace be upon them)The Chr<strong>is</strong>tians claimed meaning of the w<strong>or</strong>d “W<strong>or</strong>d”, which <strong>is</strong>“Logos”, as the second hypostas<strong>is</strong> of Trinity, does not ex<strong>is</strong>t in all theprophet’s books.Third: the sentence “and the w<strong>or</strong>d was God”, indicates that Jesus(PBUH) was called as God, the same as the judges in the T<strong>or</strong>ah,“God has taken H<strong>is</strong> place in the divine council; in the midstof the gods He holds judgment. How long will you judgeunjustly and show partiality to the wicked? (Psalms 82:1),David (PBUH) called the Jew<strong>is</strong>h nobles gods, “I give you thanks,O LORD, with my whole heart; bef<strong>or</strong>e the gods I sing yourpra<strong>is</strong>e” (Psalms 138:1)Allah (S.W) told Moses about Aaron (PBUT), “He shall speak f<strong>or</strong>you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and youshall be as God to him.” (Exodus. 4:16), and the same f<strong>or</strong> othersas stated previously.Fourth: h<strong>is</strong> saying “the w<strong>or</strong>d was with God”, the w<strong>or</strong>d ‘with’ here <strong>is</strong>a preposition; it neither means sameness n<strong>or</strong> equality. It means Allah(S.W) created the w<strong>or</strong>d, as Eve said, “I have gotten a man fromthe LORD.” (Gen. 4:1 KJV). Cain <strong>is</strong> not equal to Allah (S.W) <strong>or</strong> likeHim, even though he came from Allah (S.W). The same meaningcame in another passage. “Then the LORD rained on Sodomand Gom<strong>or</strong>rah sulfur and fire from the LORD out ofheaven. (Gen. 19:24)
