“Verily, the likeness of\u00a0Jesus<\/span>\u00a0before Allah is the likeness of\u00a0Adam<\/span>. He created him from dust, then He said to him: “Be!” – and he was”\u2026.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

As is well known, Jesus Christ (pbuh) is one of the most popular and controversial personalities in history.\u00a0\u00a0To some, he is seen as God, to others he is the son of God.\u00a0\u00a0Muslims in particular, however, view Jesus Christ as a messenger of God, who was sent to spread God\u2019s word and obey his commands, as did Moses (pbuh), Noah (pbuh), Abraham (pbuh) and those who were sent before him, as well as Muhammad (pbuh) who was sent after him.\u00a0\u00a0Muslims have a most honourable regard for Jesus, and belief in him is a condition of Islam.<\/p>\n

While it may come as a surprise to some, the Qur\u2019an is in fact a great source for anyone wishing to learn about Jesus Christ!\u00a0\u00a0The Qur\u2019an speaks with utmost respect and beauty of this Holy Messenger and his mother Mary.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that there are people who are sceptical about the Qur\u2019an and consider it the written word of Muhammad, and it is the duty of a Muslim to acknowledge and respect all opinions, so long as they can be logically and fairly proven.<\/p>\n

There are also people who deny the Prophets and the miracles that came with them.\u00a0\u00a0Among those are the miracles of the creation of Adam and Jesus Christ.\u00a0\u00a0God’s response to those rejecting such miracles is:\u00a0(Verily, the likeness of\u00a0Jesus<\/span>\u00a0before Allah is the likeness of\u00a0Adam<\/span>. He created him from dust, then He said to him: “Be!” – and he was.)\u00a0[Al-Imran: 59].<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In examining this verse, we notice that God Almighty tells us that Jesus Christ, like Adam (pbuh), was created without a father.\u00a0\u00a0Similarly, both were Prophets, and both presented a miracle in the way in which their exemplary morals and behaviour were different from those of ordinary people.\u00a0\u00a0This is the Islamic argument; that Jesus cannot be regarded as divine simply because he had no father, because if that holds true, then Adam must also be considered divine as he had neither a father nor a mother.<\/p>\n

But the question is: How can this verse really convince someone who simply rejects the Qur\u2019an as the true word of God?\u00a0\u00a0After all, a sceptic has every right to be sceptical, but along with this scepticism comes a right upon him to seek proof in order to erase any doubt beyond question!\u00a0\u00a0So is there any physical proof for the truth of these words? Is there something, within this verse, that can tangibly prove the proposed similarities between Jesus and Adam? No judgment is made in the words to follow; this is left for the reader to contemplate.<\/p>\n

What is interesting is that this connection between Jesus and Adam is not merely confined to the meaning of the verse as explained above.\u00a0\u00a0This connection even exists with regards to the various mentions of both Jesus and Adam in the Qur\u2019an.<\/p>\n

To explain further, if we look for the word \u2018Jesus\u2019 in the Qur\u2019an, we find that it is mentioned 25 times in the Qur\u2019an.\u00a0\u00a0Similarly, if we look at the mention of \u2018Adam\u2019 in the Qur\u2019an, we find, again, that it is mentioned exactly 25 times!<\/p>\n

It is only natural for an atheist, probably even a Muslim, to consider this a coincidence. Therefore, we must look further, and see whether God Almighty has deposited in this verse any consistent numerical symmetry that could destroy any possibility of coincidence.<\/p>\n

Now, reflecting on the various verses where Jesus and Adam are mentioned, we find that the previous verse \u2013 (Verily, the likeness of Jesus before Allah is the likeness of Adam)\u00a0\u00a0– is the only verse in the Qur\u2019an where\u00a0both\u00a0<\/em>Jesus and Adam were mentioned collectively.\u00a0\u00a0In no other verse do the two names meet; this gives the verse a pivotal importance in our discussion.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, and amazingly enough, the number of times the word Adam was mentioned from the beginning of the Qur\u2019an up to this crucial verse is 7 times, and the number of times Jesus was mentioned from the beginning of the Qur\u2019an up to this verse is also 7 times!<\/p>\n

To better illustrate this beautiful consistency, each of the 25 verses mentioning Jesus and Adam are listed below in their order of appearance in the Qur\u2019an:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The above facts demonstrate the accurateness of the Qur\u2019an in its depiction of Jesus and Adam, not only in terms of meaning, but also in terms of context and numerical symmetry. Both prophets are mentioned 25 times, and the sole place where they meet together is at the point where both happen to be mentioned for precisely the seventh time.\u00a0\u00a0In addition, anyone who reads the Qur\u2019an will note that this is not a deliberate play on words to simply preserve consistency; meaning and context are never lost throughout the verses of this Holy Book.<\/p>\n

Finally, this is simply one out of thousands of similar examples that have been discovered in the Qur\u2019an, and the question is whether all these can come by chance?\u00a0\u00a0Or is it in fact God Almighty who preserved this perfect balance?\u00a0\u00a0This is left to the reader\u2019s discretion, but regardless the answer, the ever-present challenge of the Qur\u2019an to all of mankind and angels still resonates today: (Say: If the whole of mankind and the Jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur’an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support.)\u00a0[Al-Isra\u2019: 88].<\/p>\n
