Sa`id bin Batriq, the Patriarch of Alexandria and a famous Christian scholar, mentioned
in the year four hundred after the Hijrah, that a Christian Council convened during
the reign of Constantine, who built the city that bears his name. In this Council,
the Christians came up with what they called the Great Trust, which in reality is
the Great Treachery. There were more than two thousand patriarchs in this Council,
and they were in such disarray that they divided into many sects, where some sects
had twenty, fifty or a hundred members, etc.! When the king saw that there were
more than three hundred Patriarchs who had the same idea, he agreed with them and
adopted their creed. Constantine who was a deviant philosopher -- gave his support
to this sect for which, as an honor, churches were built and doctrines were taught
to young children, who were baptized on this creed, and books were written about
it. Meanwhile, the king oppressed all other sects. Another Council produced the
sect known as the Jacobites, while the Nestorians were formed in a third Council.
These three sects agreed that `Isa was divine, but disputed regarding the manner
in which `Isa's divinity was related to his humanity; were they in unity or did
Allah incarnate in `Isa! All three of these sects accuse each other of heresy and,
we believe that all three of them are disbelievers. Allah said,
﴿انتَهُواْ خَيْراً لَّكُمْ﴾
(Cease! (it is) better for you.) meaning, it will be better for you,
﴿إِنَّمَا اللَّهُ إِلَـهٌ وَحِدٌ
سُبْحَـنَهُ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ﴾
(For Allah is (the only) One God, hallowed be He above having a son.) and He is
holier than such claim,
﴿وَللَّهِ مَا فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَمَا
فِى الاٌّرْضِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلاً ﴾
(To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah
is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs,) for all are creatures, property and
servants under His control and disposal, and He is the Disposer of the affairs.
Therefore, how can He have a wife or a son among them,
﴿بَدِيعُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ
أَنَّى يَكُونُ لَهُ وَلَدٌ﴾
(He is the originator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have children.) and
﴿وَقَالُواْ اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَـنُ
وَلَداً - لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْئاً إِدّاً ﴾
(And they say: "The Most Gracious (Allah) has begotten a son. Indeed you have brought
forth (said) a terrible evil thing.'') Up to His saying,
﴿فَرْداً﴾
(Alone.)
﴿لَّن يَسْتَنكِفَ
الْمَسِيحُ أَن يَكُونَ عَبْداً للَّهِ وَلاَ الْمَلَـئِكَةُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَمَن
يَسْتَنْكِفْ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ وَيَسْتَكْبِرْ فَسَيَحْشُرُهُمْ إِلَيهِ جَمِيعاً -
فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ فَيُوَفِّيهِمْ أُجُورَهُمْ
وَيَزيدُهُمْ مِّن فَضْلِهِ وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ اسْتَنكَفُواْ وَاسْتَكْبَرُواْ فَيُعَذِّبُهُمْ
عَذَاباً أَلُيماً وَلاَ يَجِدُونَ لَهُمْ مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيّاً وَلاَ نَصِيراً
﴾
(172. Al-Masih will never be too proud to be a servant of Allah, nor the angels
who are the near (to Allah). And whosoever rejects His worship and is proud, then
He will gather them all together unto Himself.) (173. So, as for those who believed
and did deeds of righteousness, He will give them their (due) rewards and more out
of His bounty. But as for those who refused His worship and were proud, He will
punish them with a painful torment. And they will not find for themselves besides
Allah any protector or helper.)
