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

(٧٧)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?When a man came to Jesus (PBUH) and asked him to cure hisinsane son, Jesus (PBUH) did not know how long that son had beensick. “And Jesus asked his father, "How long has this beenhappening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.” (Mark9:21)Jesus (PBUH) also showed, while he was performing his miracles,that he could not do them without the will and the help of Allah (S.W).He said, "I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, andmy judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but thewill of him who sent me.” (John 5:30)He (PBUH) affirmed this meaning when he said, "I can do nothingon my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just,because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sentme. And he who sent me is with me. He has not left mealone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”(John 8:28-29). In another passage, he said to the Jews, "Truly,truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his ownaccord, but only what he sees the Father doing. Forwhatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.” (John5:19)In addition, Jesus (PBUH) had no authority for good or bad even forhimself, except by the mercy and the will of Allah (S.W). When themother of Zabadee’s children, who were his disciples, came to him,“he said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Saythat these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your righthand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” Jesusanswered, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is notmine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has beenprepared by my Father.”(Matt.20:20-22)The Holy Bible also, in many passages, describes Jesus (PBUH) asa servant of Allah (S.W). In Matthew we read, “My servant whomI have chosen.” (Matt. 12:18) and in Acts, “glorified his servantJesus, the Holy and Righteous One.”(Acts 3:13-14); “God,having raised up his servant, sent him to you first” (Acts3:26), “your holy servant Jesus.” (Acts 4:30)Some translations, like the famous Vandyke translation, changed theword ‘servant’ to the word ‘Child’, which indicates son-ship. TheJesuit Fathers’ translation and the majority of other translations stilluse the word ‘Servant’.
