Tafsir of verse 59
Al-Mukhtasar
With Allah, the example of the creation of Jesus (peace be upon him) is like the creation of Adam, who was born from dust without a father or mother. Allah simply said to him: Become a man. And he became as Allah willed. How do you then assume that Jesus is a god on the basis that he has no father when you accept that Adam is human despite his having no father or mother?
The similitude of Jesus before Allah25 is like that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
