(٨٥)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?but what was he? The d<strong>is</strong>ciples had collected sufficient evidencewhich assured them that he was the Messiah.” 1Seeing Jesus’ (PBUH) miracles, the Samaritan woman said, “"Sir, Iperceive that you are a prophet.” (John 4:19) and she did notadd a w<strong>or</strong>d. Jesus’ (PBUH) reaction to her was not of any kind ofscolding <strong>or</strong> c<strong>or</strong>rection, he did not c<strong>or</strong>rect her because that was whatpeople – including h<strong>is</strong> d<strong>is</strong>ciples- believed.The same happened when Jesus (PBUH) cured the blind man, whowitnessed Allah’s (S.W) power after h<strong>is</strong> eyes opened.

If Jesus (PBUH) claimed divinity--which he did not – the Jews would not accept that sign, and theywould ask him to perf<strong>or</strong>m miracles that are greater than Jonah’s andthe other prophets’.Doubting Jesus’ (PBUH) prophethood, a Phar<strong>is</strong>ee was watchingJesus (PBUH) while a crying sinful woman came to Jesus andcleaned h<strong>is</strong> feet with her hair, k<strong>is</strong>sed them and applied someperfume on them. He said, “Now when the Phar<strong>is</strong>ee who hadinvited him saw th<strong>is</strong>, he said to himself, "If th<strong>is</strong> man were aprophet, he would have known who and what s<strong>or</strong>t of.
