original sin, or the notion that all humans are born sinners becauseof the actions of Adam. No human shall ever bear the burdenof another (for God is The Just). Every human being is responsiblefor his or her actions and is born as a Muslim, pure andfree from sin. It is important to note that Islam does not placethe blame on Eve. Both Adam and Eve had free will. Both ofthem ate of the tree. Their sin and disobedience was a joint venture.Islam rejects the idea that women are wicked temptresses orcursed with the burden of menstruation and pain of childbirthdue to the sin of Eve.God removed Adam and Eve from Paradise and made them todwell on earth. God had earlier said to the angels that He wasplacing a new being on earth. Earth is where God, from the timeof creation, in His timeless knowledge, wanted us to be.38
Jesus ()Jesus () was a Prophet and Messenger of God. He called tothe oneness of God. He never claimed divinity for himself, nordid he ever ask to be worshipped.He was born of a virgin. This was one of the many miracles regardingJesus () given by God. Jesus () was born without afather. God says in the Qur'an,“Truly the likeness of Jesus with God is asthe likeness of Adam. He created him ofdust and then said to him ‘Be!’ and hewas.”[Qur'an 3:59]God created Jesus () as He created everything else in existence.Jesus (), Adam and Eve were all uniquely created: Jesus() was created without a father; Adam and Eve were createdwithout a father or a mother. The rest of us were all created witha mother and a father. To believe that Jesus () is the begottenson of God or that God has any relatives such as a father,mother, son, or daughter, gives the attribute of procreation toThe Creator. 17 Muslims believe this to be polytheism and it isabsolutely forbidden in Islam. Likewise, giving attributes of TheCreator to His creation is a great sin, which, in Islam, is clearly inopposition to monotheism. This belief is in contradiction to the17 It was in the ancient city of Nicea (which was located in modern-day Turkeyapproximately 700 miles or 1100 km NNW of Jerusalem near the eastern Romancapitol) that the First Council of Nicea convened, 325 years after the birthof Jesus (). It was at this council that Jesus () was declared by the majorityof the council members to be divine rather than God’s Prophet and Messenger.The concept of the trinity was established by declaring that Jesus ()was the same as and equal to God. This is in direct opposition to the Abrahamicprinciples of monotheism, which Jesus () himself called people toand affirmed.39
