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

(٥٧)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?a new creation. Thus, Jesus’ (PBUH) creating of beings is a spiritualcreation; for Allah (S.W) made him awaken the hard-hearted.One may refute our reasoning and understanding of these passageswith what he/she reads in them about the creation of heavens andearth by Jesus (PBUH). He/she may also consider that thesepassages, which Christians present, do not refer to humans only, butinclude heaven and earth. This, for those who are not accustomedwith the Bible’s expression, will prevent the reasoning of this newcreation, which I have explained.Those who are accustomed with the Bible’s expression considerthese passages as a usual exaggeration of the Old and the NewTestaments. Some of these descriptions, I will list below:The New Testament describes Jesus (PBUH) and the disciples asthe light of the world. John said, “Again Jesus spoke to them,saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows mewill not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”(John 8/12),Jesus (PBUH) said to his disciples, "You are the light of theworld.” (Matt. 5:14). As we know, they all were the light, whichshowed the believers the right path; and was rejected by otherswhom their hearts were still in darkness.Christians cannot claim that the light is for animals and the inanimateentities, for, when John describes Jesus (PBUH) and his disciples asthe light of the world, they did not light anything except the heart ofthe believers. He described Jesus (PBUH) as the means of the newcreation of the world, meaning the believers only.Likewise, what Paul said 1 about the conciliation by Jesus’ (PBUH)blood, he said, “and through him to reconcile to himself allthings, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by theblood of his cross.” (Col. 1/20). Even though this conciliation wasfor the people, not animals or other unbelieving creatures, thesehave no share in this conciliation, which we may understand from thepassages that they were included.1 - This important passage comes two lines after his words, “For by him all things werecreated, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominionsor rulers or authorities--all things were created through him and for him.” (Col.1:16)
