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

(٩٠)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?THE PURPOSE OF INCARNATIONChristians believe that Allah (S.W) was incarnated in Jesus (PBUH),and their evidence for that is what comes in the Gospel according toJohn. “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”(John 1:14)To understand this passage, we read what the Monastic JesuitsEdition’s scholars said regarding the incarnation of the wisdom,which is in Proverbs (8:22). They said, “The idea of the incarnatedwisdom, which is just a literature art as in Proverbs (14:1), wasdeveloped in Israel at the time of the captivity; when worshippingidols ceased to be a threat to the right religion. In all passages thatmention the incarnation of the wisdom, the word or the spirit, it isdifficult to distinguish between the poetic art, the old religious beliefand the new inspiration.”Thus, it is possible that the passage, which speaks of the wordincarnation, is just a literature art, which is the same as themetaphoric incarnation of the wisdom, when it went out, “Wisdomcries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises hervoice; at the head of the noisy streets she cries out.” (Pro.1:20-21) and considering ignorance as a wild woman. (Pro. 9:13-18) 1In this regard, scholars are asking about the reason for theincarnation of the Son and why it is not the Father’s or the HolySpirit’s incarnation. They also ask why Allah (S.W) had to incarnateinto a human figure: come down from His high throne, enter thewomb of a woman and finally, be born from her.Clergymen have been working hard to answer these questions, andwhen they did not find any answer in their books, they used theirthoughts. Consequently, they have different opinions, and as theycannot find proof for Paul’s claim of God's incarnation, they alsocannot find a reason for that incarnation.Their answers and conclusions are as follows:First: This is a mystery, which we cannot understand, but we have tobelieve.Second: The incarnation is to fill the gap between Allah (S.W) andhumanity, and to reconcile it with seeing Allah (S.W).1 - See also, (Sirach 4:11, Proverbs 9:1-6, 23:23) and other passages.
