Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam.

The Qur’an presents a profound and simple truth about Jesus (peace be upon him) — one that clears confusion and restores clarity to his story.

“Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created him from dust; then He said to him, ‘Be,’ and he was.”
(Qur’an 3:59)

In this verse, the Qur’an addresses a key question:
How was Jesus born without a father?

The answer is given with clarity and logic: if the absence of a father makes someone divine, then Adam, who had no father and no mother, would be even more deserving of divinity. Yet Adam is universally accepted as a created being.

Jesus (Isa), peace be upon him, was born miraculously — not because he is the son of God, but because God willed it to happen. His miraculous birth is a sign of God’s power, not a claim of divinity.

The Qur’an honors Jesus as:

  • A prophet sent to the Children of Israel
    • A word from God, born by His command
      • A servant of God, who never claimed divinity
        • The Messiah, who called to worship the One true God

For seekers of truth, this verse is an invitation to reflect:

Is it not more logical to believe in the One who created Jesus, rather than to worship Jesus himself?

The Qur’an calls us to pure monotheism — the message of all prophets — and to see Jesus in the light of truth: a beloved prophet, born by a miracle, sent to guide, not to be worshipped.
