It was a snake, moving quickly” (8).

It was a snake, moving quickly” (8). Regarding the miracle of Prophet Yusuf (a.s), the holy Quran narrates that he said to his brothers: “Go with this shirt of mine, and cast it over the face of my father, he will become clear-sighted.” (9) And once his brothers reached home and cast the shirt of Yusuf on their father’s face: “He became clear-sighted.” (10) In none of the above examples the phrase ‘By the Leave of Allah’ is added, although they have undoubtedly occurred by His Leave.

It is only regarding the miracles performed by Prophet Isa (Jesus Christ) that the Almighty God deliberately adds the expression: ‘By the Leave of Allah’ .(11). Interestingly, this phrase is repeated six times in the Quran only regarding the miracles of Jesus Christ. Even in one Ayah (12), two miracles are related to Jesus and as such, the phrase ‘By the Leave of God’ is repeated twice. Why? This is because the Almighty God aims at correcting the false and blasphemous dogma of the Trinity.

Traditional Christians say: “One way to establish Jesus’ deity and son-ship to God is by the miracles he performed” . Jesus’ life was characterized by undeniable miracles. He was born of Virgin Mary, was resurrected and ascended to heaven. He also performed many miracles. A miracle is the act of God. Thus, Jesus had power over nature. This upholds the belief that Jesus is “The son of God!” Many modern Christian scholars on the other hand are very sceptical about any miracle related to Jesus.

The Jews also regarded him no more than a magician did. The holy Quran, whilst acknowledging the miracles of Jesus, emphasizes that they all occurred ‘By the Permission of God’. In short, regarding the miracles of Jesus, all, other than Muslims, have gone astray. Traditional Christians although they believe in the miracles of Jesus as reported in the Gospels, wrongly conclude from them the deity of Jesus.

Liberal Christians and the Jewish people also have gone astray by either denying his miracles or accusing Jesus of being a magician. It is narrated from Imam Sadiq (a.s) that Jesus was once on the peak of a mountain called ‘Ariha’. Satan appeared to him in the form of the King of Palestine and said to him: “O Ruhullah! You revived the dead and healed those born blind and cleansed the lepers. Can you drop yourself down from the mountain without being hurt?
