How do you respond to the misconceptions related to the incarnation of Christ, his death, and his crucifixion, and the affirmation of his divinity and his being taken as the Son of God, while you deny the literal meaning of birth and interpret the term "Son of God" to mean belonging or the eternal Word of God emanating from Him?

The claim of divine incarnation in human form contradicts the attributes of divine perfection, and the belief in the co-eternality of the Father and the Son raises a logical contradiction concerning the relationship of fatherhood and sonship. Christians themselves do not intellectually accept the concept of the Trinity.

Christ Jesus, peace be upon him, is "the word of Allah" in the sense that he was created by the word "Be," not because he is a part of Allah or His son. He is also "a spirit from Him" in the sense that he is from His command. This description is mentioned in the Holy Quran, and scholars have interpreted it as an honor and glorification for him due to his miraculous creation without a father, his ability to speak in the cradle, his prophethood, and his support by the Holy Spirit.

The evidence used to prove that Christ is the son of Allah is not substantiated, as their scriptures are unreliable and distorted. Moreover, the meaning of sonship in the Gospels differs from actual sonship, and the description "Son of God" was metaphorically applied to others besides Christ in numerous instances. Other evangelical texts emphasize Christ's humanity and describe him more frequently as "Son of Man."

Christ, peace be upon him, is a noble prophet, but he is not the last of the prophets. The Seal of the Prophets is Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.
