IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE MOST MERCIFUL 



"The Jews call 'Uzayr a son of God, 
and the Christians call Christ the son of God.  
That is a saying from their mouth; 
(in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old 
used to say.  God's curse be on them:
How they are deluded away from the truth.

 (Qur'an 9:30)
-----------------------------------------------

They take their priests and their anchorities
to be their Lords in derogation of God,
and (they take as their Lord),
Christ the son of Mary; yet they were 
commanded to worship One God:
There is no god but He,
Praise and glory to Him:
(Far is He) from having the partners
they associate (with Him).
                                                    
 (Qur'an 9:31)
--------------------------------------------------

And behold! God will say:
"O Jesus the son of Mary!
Did you say unto men, 'worship me and my mother
as gods in derogation of God?' "
He will say: "Glory to You!
Never could I say what I had no right (to say).
Had I said such a thing, You would indeed have known it.
You know what is in my heart, though I know not
what is in yours.  For you know in full all that is hidden.

Never said I unto them except what you did command me to say,
to wit, 'Worship God, my Lord and your Lord';
And I was a witness over them while I dwell among them;
when you did take me up you was the watcher over them,
and you are a witness to all things.

(Qur'an 5:116-117)

---------------------------------------------------------

They do blaspheme who say:
"God is Christ the son of Mary"
But said Christ: "O Children of Israel!
Worship God, my Lord and your Lord."
Whoever joins other gods with God,
God will forbid him the Garden, and the fire
will be his abode.  There will for the 
wrong-doers be no one to help.

They do blaspheme who say:
God is one of three in a trinity:
For there is no God except One God.
If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy),
Verily a grevious penalty will befall
the blasphemers among them.

Why turn they not to God,
and seek his forgiveness?
For God is Most-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.

Christ the son of Mary was no other than an Apostle;
many were the apostles that passed away before him.
His mother was a woman of truth.  
They had both to eat their daily (food).  
See how God does make his signs clear to them;
Yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth.

Say: "Will you worship besides God, something 
which has no power either to harm or benefit you?
But God,-He it is that hears and knows all things"

Say:" O people of the Book!  Exceed not in your religion
the bounds (of what is proper), trespassing beyond the truth,
Nor follow the vain desires of people who went wrong 
in times gone by, -who misled many, and strayed (themselves)
from the even way.

(Qur'an 5: 72-77)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Say: " O People of the Book!  Come to common terms 
as between us and you: That we worship none but God;  
That we associate no partners with Him;
That we erect not, from among ourselves,  
Lords and patrons other than God."

If then they turn back,  Say you: "Bear witness that 
we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to God's Will).	

(Qur'an 3:64)

------------------------------------------------------------------

Say, " Bring the Torah and read it, if you are men of truth!"  

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The similitude of Jesus before God is as that of Adam;
He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be":
and he was.

The truth (comes) from God alone;
So be not of those who doubt.

If anyone disputes in this matter with you,
now after (full) knowledge has come to you,
Say, "Come, let us gather together -our sons and your sons, our
women and your women,ourselves and yourselves- ; then let us earnestly 
pray  and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"

(Qur'an 3:59-61)
-------------------------------------------------------------------


"They say: '(God) Most Gracious Has begotten a son!  

Indeed you have put forth a thing most monstrous!..

At it the skies are ready to burst, 
the earth to split asunder, and 
the mountains to fall down in utter ruin,

That they should invoke a son for (God) Most Gracious.  
For it is not consonant with the majesty of (God) 
Most Gracious that He should beget a son."  

(Qur'an 19:88-92)       

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Who can be more wicked than one Who invents a lie 
against God, or says, "I have Received inspiration,"
When he has received none, or again who says, 
"I can reveal the like of what Allah has revealed'?
If you could but see how the wicked (do fare) 
in the flood of confusion at death! -the angels stretch
forth their hands (saying), "yield up your souls:
this day shall you receive your reward,- a penalty of shame,
for that you used to tell lies against God, and scornfully
to reject of His signs!"  

(Qur'an 6:93)
  
------------------------------------------------------------------                   

There is among them a section who distort the Book with 
their tongues: (as they read) you would think it is 
a part of the Book, But it is no part of
the Book; and they say: "That is from God," 
BUT it is NOT from God: It is they who tell a lie 
against Allah, And (well) they know it! 

(Qur'an 3:78)
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------

It is not befitting to (the majesty of) God that 
He should beget a son.  Glory be to him!
When he determines a matter, He only says to it,
"Be", and it is.

(Qur'an 19:35)
----------------------------------------------------------------

That they said (in boast),
"We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the apostle of God";
But they killed him not, nor curisified him,
but so it was made to appear to them,
and those who differ therein are full of doubts,
with no certain knowledge, but only conjecture to follow,
For of a surety they killed him not:

Nay, God raised him up unto Himself; and God is exalted in Power, Wise;

(Qur'an 6:157-158)
