What is the meaning of Jesus being "the Word of Allah," and what is meant by His saying, "Then We breathed into him of Our Spirit"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The phrase "Word of God" means that Jesus, peace be upon him, was created by the word "Be," as in the Almighty's saying: (Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was). As for "spirit from Him," it means that he is a being from Allah Almighty. The attribution of entities to Allah is either due to His creation of them (like "Allah's earth"), or due to a specific meaning that He loves and approves of (like "Allah's House").
