(٧٠)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?revived.” (Kings (1) 17/20-22) Theref<strong>or</strong>e, Joshua the son of sirachtold him, “Who didst ra<strong>is</strong>e up a dead man from death” (sirach48\5).Elijah (PBUH) - with Allah’s (S.W) will - also ra<strong>is</strong>ed two dead people.He ra<strong>is</strong>ed <strong>one</strong> of them during h<strong>is</strong> life and the other after h<strong>is</strong> death. Hegave life to the Israelite woman’s son, who came to him. (Kings (2)4/32-36)Not only did Elijah (PBUH) ra<strong>is</strong>e a dead man while he was alive, butalso h<strong>is</strong> b<strong>one</strong>s, after h<strong>is</strong> death, gave life to another dead man. Therelatives of that dead man put him inside Elijah’s grave. He returnedto life after touching Elijah’s b<strong>one</strong>s, and he stood up. “And as aman was being buried, behold, a marauding band was seenand the man was thrown into the grave of El<strong>is</strong>ha, and assoon as the man touched the b<strong>one</strong>s of El<strong>is</strong>ha, he revivedand stood on h<strong>is</strong> feet.” (Kings (2) 13/21)I wonder how Chr<strong>is</strong>tians could use Jesus’ (PBUH) miracles –especially ra<strong>is</strong>ing the dead - as proof of h<strong>is</strong> divinity, even though theybelieved that the d<strong>is</strong>ciples had d<strong>one</strong> the same.In the Book of Acts, we read that Peter gave life to Tabitha after shehad died and was washed by her family. “Now there was inJoppa a d<strong>is</strong>ciple named Tabitha, which, translated, meansD<strong>or</strong>cas.

ButPeter put them all outside, and knelt down and prayed; andturning to the body he said, "Tabitha, ar<strong>is</strong>e."

Both miracles were by Allah’s (S.W) will and aid.Acc<strong>or</strong>ding to the Holy Bible, all d<strong>is</strong>ciples were capable of giving life tothe dead. Jesus (PBUH) said, “And proclaims as you go, saying,'The kingdom of heaven <strong>is</strong> at hand. Heal the sick, ra<strong>is</strong>e thedead, and cleanse lepers, cast out demons.” (Matthew 10/7-8)so, are all of them gods?Chr<strong>is</strong>tians who speak of Jesus’ (PBUH) divinity ign<strong>or</strong>e the passagesthat speak of h<strong>is</strong> death, and h<strong>is</strong> being unable to escape it.
