(٨٦)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?woman th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> who <strong>is</strong> touching him, f<strong>or</strong> she <strong>is</strong> a sinner.”(Luke 7:39)In h<strong>is</strong> heart, the Phar<strong>is</strong>ee denied Jesus’ prophethood – not divinitybecauseJesus (PBUH) did not know the identity of that woman, andthat proves that he (PBUH) claimed that he <strong>is</strong> just a prophet.In th<strong>is</strong> regard, Matta El Meskeen said, “The Phar<strong>is</strong>ee, when he sawthat Jesus had accepted what the woman did, took it as a confessionagainst Jesus that he was not a prophet, like the people said.” 1In addition, the Jews wanted to kill him f<strong>or</strong> they considered him acriminal, and they charged him with claiming prophethood, notdivinity. They said to Nicodemus, "Are you from Galilee too?Search and see that no prophet ar<strong>is</strong>es from Galilee.” (John7:52). They accused him of lying by saying that he <strong>is</strong> a prophet, sinceno prophet came out of Galilee.The devil also did not consider Jesus (PBUH) m<strong>or</strong>e than a man. Hedared to seduce him; he took him to the mountain f<strong>or</strong> f<strong>or</strong>ty day<strong>sw</strong>ithout food <strong>or</strong> drink-- testing, seducing and prom<strong>is</strong>ing him the w<strong>or</strong>ldif he would prostrate to him just <strong>one</strong> time. “Again, the devil tookhim to a very high mountain and showed him all thekingdoms of the w<strong>or</strong>ld and their gl<strong>or</strong>y. And he said to him,"All these I will give you, if you will fall down and w<strong>or</strong>shipme. Then Jesus said to him, "Be g<strong>one</strong>, Satan! F<strong>or</strong> it <strong>is</strong>written, "'You shall w<strong>or</strong>ship the L<strong>or</strong>d your God and himonly shall you serve.” (Matt. 4:8-10) Did the devil prom<strong>is</strong>e Allah(S.W) – who has everything and everything belongs to him – thew<strong>or</strong>ld?In h<strong>is</strong> commentaries in Matthews’s Gospel and quoting Jerome’<strong>sw</strong><strong>or</strong>ds in th<strong>is</strong> regard, priest Tadress Yaakoob Malatee, wrote, “Thedevil’s intention of doing that was to know whether <strong>or</strong> not Jesus wastruly the Son of God, but the savi<strong>or</strong> was good in h<strong>is</strong> an<strong>sw</strong>ers, leavingthe devil in doubt.” It <strong>is</strong> clear that the devil was and remainedign<strong>or</strong>ant of Jesus’ (PBUH) claimed divinity.Furtherm<strong>or</strong>e, if Jesus (PBUH) was Allah (S.W), how could <strong>one</strong>explain Judas’ betrayal? Can any<strong>one</strong> betray Allah (S.W)?How can <strong>one</strong> explain Peter’s denial - <strong>three</strong> times - and condemnationof Jesus (PBUH), the night of h<strong>is</strong> arrest?
