The expression saying "'Be' and it is" is a very lively illustration unto the vast power of Allah and His domination and sovereignty over the subject of creation. Explanations: Jesus Christ (a.s.) has been introduced through the afore mentioned verses by seven outstanding epithets and two accomplishments. A.

The epithets of Jesus Christ: To be a servant of Allah: "Verily am a servant of Allah." To bring a heavenly Book: "…He has given me the Book." To be a prophet: "…and made me a prophet." To be blessed: "And He has made me blessed." To be kind unto the mother: "And (He has made me) kind to my mother." Not to be arrogant and unblessed: "He not made me arrogant and unblessed." To be humble, gratitude, and prosperous: "And peace be on me." One of them is prayer and the other is almsgiving (zakat).

The above mentioned verse says that the truth about Jesus is just what Allah said: "This is Jesus, son of Mary". In the holy Qur'an, the Christians have been repeatedly mentioned as deviated whose belief about Christ, as the son of God, is wrong. For example, in Sura Al-Ma'idah, No. 5, verse 73, it says: "certainly they disbelieve who say: 'Verily Allah is the third of the three', …" And, in Sura At-Taubah, No. 9, verse 30, it says: " …and the Christians say: 'The Messiah is the son of God' …".

But, this verse, shows the correct argument in response to these erroneous claims regarding the characteristics of Jesus. There is no need to say that the Will of Allah comes into being, even without the expression of 'Be', but Allah has described His Will for us in this manner so that we could understand it. Allah is Omnipotent, and He is not in need of anything or any means in creating, His infinite Power is a reason why He is far exalted from powerlessness and from begetting a son.

The Qur'an and the Christ: As a result of the stiff pressure that the pagans of Mecca put upon the followers of the Prophet of Islam (p.b.u.h.) , a group of Muslims, accompanied by Ja'far-ibn-Abitalib, by the order of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) , migrated to Ethiopia (Abyssinia). The pagans of the Quraysh thought that if the Muslims could become powerful there and form a government, they would be able to root out the idolatry that the polytheists practiced.

They sent 'Amru'as and with a delegation to Ethiopia bearing presents for the ministers of Najashi, the king of Abyssinia. Those ministers took the presents from them to put Najashi to motion against the emigrant Muslims.
