(٧٢)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?The same happened with Samuel and Elijah (Samuel (1) 10/2-9),Kings (1) 21/21-24), and their prediction came true, as we read in theSecond Book of Kings. (Kings (2) 10/1-17, 9/30-37) Many othersimilar passages are in the sacred books. (Samuel (1) 19/23-24,Kings (2) 4/8-18, 8/12-13, John 11/49-52)E. Controlling DevilsJesus (PBUH) had control <strong>or</strong> power over devils. (Matthew 12/27-28),but it was also a miracle that was perf<strong>or</strong>med by others.When the Jews accused him of casting out devils by the aid of thedevils’ leader, he said, “And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul,by whom do your sons cast them out?” (Matt. 12:27).

(Matthew 21/18-19) Chr<strong>is</strong>tians also mention the greatdarkness that happened on the day of h<strong>is</strong> claimed death on thecross. (Matthew 27/45). All of these wonders – acc<strong>or</strong>ding toChr<strong>is</strong>tians -prove h<strong>is</strong> divinity and that he <strong>is</strong> the son of Allah (S.W).In addition, Chr<strong>is</strong>tians conclude h<strong>is</strong> divinity (PBUH) from the windand the sea’s obedience to him, and that he had power over nature.“There arose a great st<strong>or</strong>m on the sea, so that the boat wasbeing <strong>sw</strong>amped by the waves; but he was asleep. And theywent and woke him, saying, "Save us, L<strong>or</strong>d; we areper<strong>is</strong>hing. And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O youof little faith?"
