(٦٩)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?B. Giving Life to the DeadNo doubt, giving life to the dead was <strong>one</strong> great miracle among themany that Jesus (PBUH) perf<strong>or</strong>med, which the Quran confirms andtells that it was from Allah (S.W). “and I quicken the dead, byGod's leave.” (Holy Quran 3:49).However, Chr<strong>is</strong>tians refuse to relate Jesus’ power to Allah’s (S.W)will, and believe that he was doing that by himself and by h<strong>is</strong> ownwill. One of their reasons <strong>is</strong> that he (PBUH) said, “F<strong>or</strong> as theFather ra<strong>is</strong>es the dead and gives them life, so also the Songives life to whom he will F<strong>or</strong> as the Father has life inhimself, so he has granted the Son also to have life inhimself.” (John 5/21-26).If we read the passage carefully, we will see that it talks about thegifts that Allah (S.W) gave to Jesus (PBUH), “He has granted theSon”, which he has no power to do <strong>or</strong> to have without Allah (S.W)giving them to him.If Chr<strong>is</strong>tians continue reading the passage, they will find an obviousan<strong>sw</strong>er from Jesus (PBUH) to their claim. He said, “I can donothing on my own.” (John 5/30).He (PBUH) continued and explained to them that h<strong>is</strong> will, when hegives life to the dead, <strong>is</strong> dependant on Allah’s (S.W) will. “Because,I seek not my own will but the will of Him who sent me”(John 5/30).Chr<strong>is</strong>tians ins<strong>is</strong>t that giving life to the dead <strong>is</strong> evidence of Jesus’(PBUH) divinity, and ign<strong>or</strong>e many passages, which attribute thatdeed to others. Why do Chr<strong>is</strong>tians not consider them gods?Indeed, Chr<strong>is</strong>tian avoidance in considering the divinity of those <strong>is</strong>evidence of their false claim. If Jesus gave life to Lazarus, (John11/41-44), the prophet Elijah gave life to the son of the widow. In theFirst Book of Kings we read, “And he cried to the LORD, "OLORD my God, have you brought calamity even upon thewidow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son? Then hestretched himself upon the child <strong>three</strong> times and cried tothe LORD, "O LORD my God, let th<strong>is</strong> child's life come intohim again. And the LORD l<strong>is</strong>tened to the voice of Elijah.And the life of the child came into him again, and he
