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

(٩١)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?Third: The incarnation is a way to make people return to Allah (S.W)and worship Him and to leave the worship of idols and othercreations; therefore, Allah (S.W) incarnated Himself into a humanfigure in order to be worshipped. Saint Ephraim said, “God saw us(humans) worshipping idols and creations, that is why He wore acreated body to hunt us to worship Him.” 1Fourth: The incarnation is necessary to reconcile Allah’s (S.W)justice and His mercy, for His justice ordained the death of humansand His mercy ordained that they live; for that, Jesus (PBUH) wasthe sacrifice.Regarding that, Ethanasius, who was one of the most importantpeople on the Nicene Council, said, “That is why the word of Godhad to bring forth the sinful man to righteousness. At the same time,fulfill what the father requires, and since he – Jesus- is God’s word,he was the only suitable one, who can renew everything and bearthe pain instead of everyone else before the father. For that, hecame down to our world without body, clean and without sin. He didbear the pain of death in order to prevent the death of humans,because then his father’s creation would be a waste. He took a bodylike our bodies. If he did not come and dwell among us, then thatwould be the end of the human race.”Did Jesus’ death (PBUH) change the death issue for humans, or dopeople still die until now?Answering this question, Ethanasius said, “Death entered this worldby the devil’s envy. After that, people started to sin and to die; thedevil had authority more than it was supposed, because he came asa result of God’s threat in the case of sin.”I wonder what death’s natural authority is, and I wonder what is thedifference between people’s death before and after Jesus (PBUH).One has the right to ask, what is the secret about death taking othercreatures’ lives?Ethanasius also mentioned another reason for Allah’s (S.W)incarnation, which is to comfort humans. He said, “When God, thecontroller of everything, created humans by His word and saw theirweaknesses in knowing God or even having a concept of Him, Hecame down to show them Himself. He did not leave them without1 - The frank opinion about the will and the nature of Christ, bishop Ghebrial AbdelMaseeh, pp 59
