As for their clergy and other elites, they say, “The very doctrine around which you keep circling is precisely what we already believe—without having to pore over the three hypostases, the two natures, or the two wills. All that is nothing but grandiose jargon and needless prolixity. We state plainly that Mary is the Mother of God, that God is His Father, and that He is the Son.” Thus you have the husband, the wife, and the child.

“They say, ‘The Most Compassionate has taken a son.’
You have indeed made a monstrous claim. (88–89)
The heavens are almost rent apart at it, the earth split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins (90)
that they should ascribe a son to the Most Compassionate. (91)
It is not befitting for the Most Compassionate to take a son. (92)
Everyone in the heavens and on earth comes to the Most Compassionate as a servant. (93)
He has counted them and numbered them exactly, (94)
and each of them will come to Him on the Day of Resurrection all alone. (95)” (Maryam 88–95)

These, then, are the words of the Messiah’s enemies: the Jews on one side, and—on the other—the over-zealous Trinitarian cross-worshippers among the Christians.

So God sent Muhammad ﷺ with a message that dispelled every doubt about Jesus, lifted the veil of confusion, cleared the Messiah and his mother (1) of the slander, calumny, and lies hurled by the Jews, and declared the Lord of the worlds—the Creator of the Messiah and his mother—far above the fabrications of the Trinitarian cross-worshippers, who have reviled Him with the worst possible abuse. Through Muhammad, God set the Messiah—his brother—in the station that God Himself assigned to him, the most exalted of ranks. Muhammad believed in him, affirmed him, and bore witness that he is a servant of God, His messenger, a spirit from Him, and a word of His that He cast into Mary, the virgin, the pure and truthful one, the foremost woman of her time. He confirmed the Messiah’s miracles and signs, conveyed from his Lord that whoever disbelieves in the Messiah will abide in the Fire, and declared that his Lord had honored His servant and messenger, protected and preserved him so that the “brothers of apes” could not inflict upon him what the Christians claim they did. Rather, God raised him up to Himself, supported and victorious: his enemies did not so much as prick him with a thorn, nor did their hands ever reach him.
