Chapter Five: Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> in Matters of Creed (al- 'aqti'id) and Religion<br />

Another example is their claim that 'Uzayr was Allah's son. Had<br />

they understood the reality of childhood, they would have realised<br />

that it could only take occur when the father gives a piece of him<br />

(sperm). Allah would never give a piece of Him away because He is<br />

not composed of different pieces.<br />

Also, the son usually is of the same status as the father. Yet, 'Uzayr<br />

had to eat to survive. How could he have been a god when a god<br />

was always needed and was never in need. <strong>The</strong>y only assumed that<br />

'Uzayr was Allah's son because he came back from the dead and<br />

recited the Torah from memory.<br />

What proves that Jews are weak minded is that after seeing Allah's<br />

ability of splitting the sea, they requested to worship idols saying:<br />

1(.1t:r[Qi<br />

"Make for us a god as they have gods"<br />

[ai-i-A 'rqf (7): 138]<br />

When Musa scolded them for making this request, they continued<br />

to wish for such an idol but in secret. <strong>The</strong>ir wish finally came true<br />

when they worshiped the cal£<br />

This was a result of two things: first: their ignorance of <strong>The</strong> Creator,<br />

and second: that they wanted something that they could sense,<br />

because feeling was more effective to them than contemplating. Had<br />

they not been ignorant of their Lord, they would not have called<br />

him with bad words, such as:<br />

15t<br />

"Allah is poor"<br />

[Ai 'lmrtin (3): 181]<br />
