What is the Similarities Between the Creation of Adam and the Creation of Isa

 

Allah said in 3:59,

 

إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَى عِندَ اللّهِ 

Verily, the likeness of Isa before Allah,

 

regarding Allah's ability, since He created him without a father. 

كَمَثَلِ ادَمَ 

 

is the likeness of Adam,

 

for Allah created Adam without a father or a mother.

 

Rather,

  

خَلَقَهُ مِن تُرَابٍ ثِمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ 

He created him from dust, then (He) said to him:"Be!" and he was. 

 

Therefore, He Who created Adam without a father or a mother is able to create Isa, as well, without a father. If the claim is made that Isa is Allah's son because he was created without a father, then the same claim befits Adam even more. However, since such a claim regarding Adam is obviously false, then making the same claim about Isa is even more false.

 

Furthermore, by mentioning these facts, Allah emphasizes His ability, by creating Adam without a male or female, Hawwa from a male without a female, and Isa from a mother without a father, compared to His creating the rest of creation from male and female.
