Virgin Birth of Isa

[Soof]

I personally do not identify with this, "cannot be named by your mother as it is wrong" you previously said that it was cultural, but you are trying to say in the same breath that it is in the Qur'an when Man and Woman are equal on grounds except who is the protector and who is the raiser of the children. I believe this is the same sexism and subjugation I see resonating through the Hadith. I need to know enough Arabic to justify my point. Isn't it so sons are named after Fathers, Daughters after Mothers? Orphans after Mothers or Fathers that died? Does it matter? Its not wrong to do either, someone said aba is not gender specific. I'm not sure, but that would make more sense.

[arnoldyasin]

Do you call your Arabic...Arabic.
Well, I call it a Twisted Arabic. It is an Arabic that meant to Mislead away from the true meaning of the Arabic.

I always quote the dictionaries, I never make the meanings up or assume I know them through the modern common meanings. Quranic Arabic is different from Modern Arabic since MSA has been changed and shaped by a 1000 years of secterianism, Christian/Jewish and Persian influences. Maybe it is a humble suggestion to stop assuming your Arabic is the same as the Arabic of the Prophet and study the classic dictionaries to get a better picture of the possibilities of the meanings of some key words we have discussed.

[Samia]

Are you an arbic speaker?
I'm.

Question irrelevant. Lane was not arabic speaker. Many arabic speakers do not know arabic (these are not examples of you or me, just examples).

Om and Ab are not just natural parents. They are parents who sustained and brought up the child. A father who left his child and never cared about it is not "ab" but "walid". This (i.e ab; om) also covers "adoptive" fathers and nursing women, whom God called "your nursing mothers".

"ad3iyaa' " is the plural of "da3ii imposter, claimant, not real" It has nothing to do with adopted sons. The claimant could be the one who made himself your son, not you who claimed him to be your son, but you liked it and went with it, without you being really his sustainer (ab). Maybe just for the sake of prestige.

The ancient pictographs of the root alif-ba (based on Ancient Hebrew) are

alif=ox head
beyt/ba=floorplan of a house

when they are put together one can understand that one of the meanings is "strong one of the house."

aka sustainer; not necessarily male; and not necessarily the natural father, otherwise, the pictograph could have drawn something else
Back to verse 434 ? confused

"Son of my mother, the people overpowered me and nearly killed me, so do not make the enemies rejoice over me, and do not make me with the wicked people."

Good point

[arnoldyasin]

Arnold
As you know SHRIK is to associate with God what he did not indicate in His Books; can you tell me how did you associate with God (his religion) that Jesues Has a Father, and his name is "Joseph? (I need a proof from The Quran).
And if you do not, then if I follow you I will be making you God within God, simple as that.

1. See 688 and 359. First mentions him part of who's father were blessed, second says he was created as all of mankind is (see present tense of the words).
2. I have never said the Qur'an mentions the name nor did I ever state that the name Joseph is correct. I have only said the Bible itself says this to show that the concept of virgin birth was not part of early Christianity itself.

Please do not keep mixing up things.

Salam,

Peace;
So, how do you understand 33-5

The main difference is in the understanding of "aba." Word by word understandings vary by some degree....

Moreover, 33-5 says "if ye know not their father's ", and if knowing the Mother is never been a problem and knowing the Father is a problem, then "Abaohom" is for Fathers.

There are times when the mother is unknown....remember when moses was put in the river by his mother....the mother was unknown to pharoah and a great deal of other people (but she was also known to others). It is not unheard of.

Salam,

This is correct. The word is not gender specific.
The word aba is also not gender specific in the Torah, and the Injeel....the same as alif-meem is also not gender specific.

Just To clarify....what Belalhammad is saying is CORRECT.

However, we must understand at the same time that "aba" is not gender specific.

That it can refer to both sexes....then we can fully understand why Isa is called "Isa ibn Marium."

Just as a side note
The ancient pictographs of the root alif-ba (based on Ancient Hebrew) are

alif=ox head
beyt/ba=floorplan of a house

when they are put together one can understand that one of the meanings is "strong one of the house."

Salam,

From the way the question is posed..."Are you an arabic speaker?" I see that it is VERY relevant.

Belalhammad did not ask "Are you a NATIVE Arabic speaker?" or "Is Arabic your first language?"

The question was.... Are you an Arabic speaker? In the present tense....or phrased another way would be....Do you speak Arabic?

This question is relevant to see if you are speaking about something you have knowledge of. And it is also a fair question.

Lane was not arabic speaker.

Yes, Lane WAS an Arabic speaker. Although, Arabic was NOT his first language.
He dedicated a good portion of his life to studying the language and composing a dictionary.

Why is he asking if I speak Arabic? Does he need some directions?
Because, when I am abroad, I would ask someone if they speak English to ask for directions, not to engage in an academic, religious, linguistic, legal...or any other serious discussion

Recite to them the truth of the story of the two sons of Adam. Behold! They each presented a sacrifice (to Allah) it was accepted from one, but not from the other.

Salam,

This is an interesting question. I going to use English translations to direct people to verses....I am not saying these are accurate translations....they are just to give one a loose idea of the content of the orginal verses.

In the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John... I cannot find ONE time that Jesus claims to be the son of Joseph.

In fact, on the one occasion where Mary says to Jesus in Luke 241....

"You're father and I have been anxiously searching for you".....

Jesus replies....
'Why were you searching for me?' he asked. 'Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?'

(he was in a temple aka his father's house)....thereby correcting his mother who was claiming that Joseph was his father.

The above verses are the only time that I can find Joseph being referred to as Jesus' father. And as you see Jesus corrects her.

Jesus is called Mary's son not Josephs in Matthew 125
Mat 125 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son and he called his name JESUS.

Here are some other verses on the pregnancy of Mary.
Matthew 118
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Luke 131-35
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring for a son, and shalt call his name Jesus .... Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be seeing I know not a man. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee.

Jesus seems to reject being called the son of David as well....
Mat 2241
While the Pharisees were gathered together Jesus asked them
Mat 2242
Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
Mat 2243
He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
Mat 2244
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Mat 2245
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
Mat 2246
And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

Mark 1235-37
And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that messiah is the son of David? For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son?

Its only the writings of Paul and Revelations that refer to Jesus (sometimes loosely) as the son of David and once the son of Abraham.
But I cannot find in the Christian bible even one time that Joseph is called Jesus's father.

I cannot find any referrence to "last names" as we seem them used today in the Quran...Maybe you can direct me to a verse.

I do see people being called first name-child of-parents name. Or simply by their first name.

But then Moses was named after the Egyption King (male). It is very rare to not know the mother, but easy to not know the father

I'm not familiar with any verse where Moses is named after an Egyptian King....maybe you can direct me to this verse as well.

[huruf]

This about the fathers name, I only see in the Quran the need to keep the identity of the slave and for that hte means are given. Now the slaves were thn and there in Arabia and the means to identify were those that fullfillled that purpose then and there in Arabia, I can't see how from that a command can be extracted to say that a person cannot have her mother's family name. It is too prepoterous, an as to God havin said that, no it is a case where the most efficient means for a result is sought, whereas the naming of whole humanity is a general rule which has nothing to do with the instance in the Quran. I am not slave, I am my mother's and father's daughter, and it is only logical that I am known as such.

To say that the reason God knows, well God mostly gives a reason for everything He enjoings on humans, or the reaosn is obvious. In the case at hand the reaosn is obvious and it is to keep the identity of those slaves.

At any rate, When God in the Quran says Jesus ibn Maryam, he is calling him by her mothers name, so no prohibition of a mother's name, that is clear. Whether he had or not had a father does not matter at all, he could be called by his grandfather name, but he isn't, here in a case where no immediate purpose had to be served that advised to follow the local custom. So yes, we can use our mother's name, which by the way, shen both parents names are used, makes it a lot easier to follow kinships.

Peace,

I have already given Qur'an verses that I believe clearly state that Jesus had a father. If you do not accept that proof is a different subject, so it is useless to go in circles then.

As for the Bible, Luke and Matthew try to raise doubt about Jesus's origins, but this is no wonder since they were of Egyptian and Roman origins and writing for an Egyptian & Roman audience who were mostly Isis and Horus worshippers, the Egyptian virgin god with her god-son (see already some basis for the Christian doctrine of the god-son?). Both Mark and John do not mention it.

John 145
Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote?Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

John 642 (Whole Chapter)
They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?"

Salam,

This is an interesting question. I going to use English translations to direct people to verses....I am not saying these are accurate translations....they are just to give one a loose idea of the content of the orginal verses.

(he was in a temple aka his father's house)....thereby correcting his mother who was claiming that Joseph was his father.

Every Jew calls God his Father. So every Jew replying to the above question and saying he was in his Father's house is thus implying he is born from a virgin? So this is a flawed argument.

Jesus always referred to the 2 most important names in his lineage, Abraham and David

Matthew 927 (Whole Chapter)
After Jesus left the girl?s home, two blind men followed along behind him, shouting, ?Son of David, have mercy on us!?

Matthew 1223 (Whole Chapter)
The crowd was amazed and asked, ?Could it be that Jesus is the Son of David, the Messiah??

And the Bible says that ONLY through Joseph could he claim this lineage of David

Matthew
This is a record of the ancestors of Jesus the Messiah, a descendant of David and of Abraham

2 Abraham was the father of Isaac.
Isaac was the father of Jacob.
Jacob was the father of Judah and his brothers.
6 Jesse was the father of King David.
David was the father of Solomon (whose mother was Bathsheba, the widow of Uriah).
7 Solomon was the father of Rehoboam.
Rehoboam was the father of Abijah.
15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar.
Eleazar was the father of Matthan.
Matthan was the father of Jacob.
16 Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary.
Mary gave birth to Jesus, who is called the Messiah.

Luke 323-38 gives a genealogy, different from that given by Matthew. It traces the ancestry of Joseph, whose son, Luke says, Jesus was thought to be, back beyond King David and Abraham, to the origin of the human race.

The letters of Paul of Tarsus, considered to be the earliest texts in the New Testament, do not state that Jesus' mother was a virgin.

In Galatians 44 Paul wrote

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law ...

The oldest Gospel, Mark, does not mention a virgin birth or the lineage showing that for them it was not important in the earliest Christian tradition. Only later through Roman/Egyptian influences did it became important as they tried to link Jesus to the god Mithra/Horus who has to born of a virgin (Isis) and sacrifice himself to give life to mankind.

[arnoldyasin]

Again, where is your proof from the Qran (a Desicive Verse like the ones that Confirm the Virgin Birth of Jesus).
If you think that 6-87 (not 8 and 3-59 are desicive proofs, then you need to learn Arabic, Quran and reasoning before making a FATWA about God Religion hail.

687-88 says the offspring and fathers of Jesus and other Prophets were blessed. This is in clear Arabic. That is for me decisive enough. There is not 1 verse in the Qur'an that says " Jesus was born out of a virgin", you only have around 3 to 4 verses that can be interpretated as implying maybe that could have happened, but you can only see it is as such when you ignore 687-88, verses about how human birth occurs and several others. So your belief is not based on decisive proof but on subjective interpretation. And since when is reasoning the same as believing in miracles, it is rather the opposite of it.

Salam everybody,

Who is the father of Jesus, I think the answer is withing the great reading

1917. She took to a barrier which separated her from them, so We sent Our Spirit to her, and he took on the shape of a human being in all similarity.
      Faittakhathat min doonihim hijabanfaarsalna ilayha roohana fatamaththala laha basharan sawiyyan

IMHO, the messenger who was sent to her is the father of Jesus.

1918. She said I seek refuge with the Almighty from you if you are a person of faith.
      Qalat innee aAAoothu bialrrahmani minka in kunta taqiyyan

The human being mesenger granted her of a son according the creator laws. Like 7.189 (see below), the messenger he dwelled with her.

1919. He said I am the messenger of your Lord, to grant you the gift of a pure son.
      Qala innama ana rasoolurabbiki li-ahaba laki ghulaman zakiyyan

1920. She said How can I have a son when no human being has been with me, nor have I desired such?
      Qalat anna yakoonu lee ghulamunwalam yamsasnee basharun walam aku baghiyyan

It is easy for a female and its mate to have a baby if they submit to the creator laws.

1921. He said It is such that your Lord has said, it is easy for Me. And We shall make him a sign for the people and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already ordained.
      Qala kathaliki qalarabbuki huwa AAalayya hayyinun walinajAAalahu ayatan lilnnasiwarahmatan minna wakana amran maqdiyyan

1922. So she was pregnant with him, and she went to deliver in a far place.
      Fahamalat-hu faintabathatbihi makanan qasiyyan

1923. He is the One who created you from one person, and He made from it its mate to reside with. 1) When he dwelled with her, 2) she became pregnant with a light load, and she continued with it; then when it became heavy, they called on God, their Lord If You give us an upright child, then we will be among the thankful.
      Huwa allathee khalaqakum min nafsinwahidatin wajaAAala minha zawjaha liyaskunailayha falamma taghashshaha hamalathamlan khafeefan famarrat bihi falamma athqalatdaAAawa Allaha rabbahuma la-in ataytanasalihan lanakoonanna mina alshshakireena

Like the believing woman who granted herself to the prophet, the human being messenger granted mary of a son by granting hisself to her.
3350. O prophet, We have made lawful for you the wives to whom you have already given their dowries, and those who are committed to you by oath, as granted to you by God, and the daughters of your father's brothers, and the daughters of your father's sisters, and the daughters of your mother's brothers, and the daughters of your mother's sisters, of whom they have emigrated with you. Also, the believing woman who granted herself to the prophet, the prophet may marry her if he wishes, as a privilege given only to you and not to the believers. We have already decreed their rights in regard to their spouses and those who are committed to them by oath. This is to spare you any hardship. God is Forgiver, Merciful.

Idem, Zachariah asked the creator to grant him a progeny according the god laws.
338. It was then that Zachariah called on his Lord, he said My Lord, grant me from You a good progeny, You are the hearer of prayers.

As for the Bible, Luke and Matthew try to raise doubt about Jesus's origins, but this is no wonder since they were of Egyptian and Roman origins and

writing for an Egyptian & Roman audience who were mostly Isis and Horus worshippers, the Egyptian virgin god with her god-son (see already some

basis for the Christian doctrine of the god-son?). Both Mark and John do not mention it.

There are so many inaccuracies and misconceptions in the above statement. If I were to go through them, we would lose the point of the thread.
So, I'm going to ignore the above and move on to the verses.

Here is my usual note/warning on the verses I am posting....They are NOT accurate translations....the general idea is put forth in the translations and so I am using them to make a general point.

John 145
Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote?Jesus of

Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

Read the WHOLE story starting with John 145. You are selecting this verse out of context.

First Nathanael refers to Jesus as the "bar" of Joseph

and then after a conversation with Jesus ....HE CORRECTS HIMSELF...

Joh 145 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the

son of Joseph.
Joh 146 And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
Joh 147 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Joh 148 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under

the fig tree, I saw thee.
Joh 149 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Creation of God; thou art King of Israel.
Joh 150 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater

things than these.
Joh 151 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending

upon the Son of man.

John 642 (Whole Chapter)
They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?"

Again....the Jews are calling Jesus son of Joseph....JESUS is not calling HIMSELF son of Joseph....every time we see a referrence to Jesus being called son of Joseph...it is from an enemy to him...Jesus always corrects them.

Joh 635 Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Joh 636 But I said unto you, that ye have seen me, and yet believe not.
Joh 637 All that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Joh 638 For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Joh 639 And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
Joh 640 For this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up

at the last day.
Joh 641 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down out of heaven.
Joh 642 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how doth he now say, I am come down out of

heaven?
Joh 643 Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
Joh 644 No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him and I will raise him up in the last day.
Joh 645 It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto

me.
Joh 646 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he that is from God, he hath seen the Father.

Every Jew calls God his Father.

No....This is a fabrication.
If the Jews refer to anyone as their father it is usually Abraham or Jacob. This is common knowledge.
Do a google search on the subject....thats how common knowledge it is that the Jews do not refer to God as their father.

Just to illustrate how incorrect that statement is....

Here is a simple question to you....
IF the Jews call God their father....
THEN WHY DID THEY ACCUSE ISA of BLASPHEMY when they thought he had done as such?

Joh 197 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

That should be proof enough that what you are saying is INCORRECT.
However (as always) don't take my word for it, research it yourself (preferably before responding).

Jesus always referred to the 2 most important names in his lineage, Abraham and David

Matthew 927 (Whole Chapter)
After Jesus left the girl?s home, two blind men followed along behind him, shouting, ?Son of David, have mercy on us!?

Matthew 1223 (Whole Chapter)
The crowd was amazed and asked, ?Could it be that Jesus is the Son of David, the Messiah??

Jesus was not even the one speaking in those cases!

I have already posted verses showing YOU what ISA says....HE CORRECTS THESE MISCONCEPTIONS

Please RE-read my post (maybe at least 3-4 times before responding )....

Salam,

This is an interesting question. I going to use English translations to direct people to verses....I am not saying these are accurate translations....they are just to give one a loose idea of the content of the orginal verses.

In the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John... I cannot find ONE time that Jesus claims to be the son of Joseph.

In fact, on the one occasion where Mary says to Jesus in Luke 241....

"You're father and I have been anxiously searching for you".....

Jesus replies....
'Why were you searching for me?' he asked. 'Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?'

(he was in a temple aka his father's house)....thereby correcting his mother who was claiming that Joseph was his father.

The above verses are the only time that I can find Joseph being referred to as Jesus' father. And as you see Jesus corrects her.

Jesus is called Mary's son not Josephs in Matthew 125
Mat 125 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son and he called his name JESUS.

Here are some other verses on the pregnancy of Mary.
Matthew 118
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Luke 131-35
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring for a son, and shalt call his name Jesus .... Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be seeing I know not a man. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee.

Jesus seems to reject being called the son of David as well....
Mat 2241
While the Pharisees were gathered together Jesus asked them
Mat 2242
Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
Mat 2243
He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
Mat 2244
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Mat 2245
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
Mat 2246
And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

Mark 1235-37
And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that messiah is the son of David? For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son?

Its only the writings of Paul and Revelations that refer to Jesus (sometimes loosely) as the son of David and once the son of Abraham.
But I cannot find in the Christian bible even one time that Joseph is called Jesus's father.

Salam,

And the Bible says that ONLY through Joseph could he claim this lineage of David

brickwall ISA NEVER CLAIMS THE LINEAGE OF DAVID>>>>>

The letters of Paul of Tarsus, considered to be the earliest texts in the New Testament, do not state that Jesus' mother was a virgin.

In Galatians 44 Paul wrote

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law ...

First of all I consider the letters of Paul as nonsense...

But even in the above Example....WHO's Son does it say it is?

Does it say Joseph? NO it does not.....

Look closely at who the names of the parents ARE (hint I have placed their names in bold print above)

The oldest Gospel, Mark, does not mention a virgin birth or the lineage showing that for them it was not important in the earliest Christian tradition.

Only later through Roman/Egyptian influences did it became important as they tried to link Jesus to the god Mithra/Horus who has to born of a virgin

(Isis) and sacrifice himself to give life to mankind.

No.
While there are parallells between ancient beliefs and the story of Jesus....The story of Jesus was not created from or Copied from these ancient beliefs.

IF you believe this then....since the story of Jesus is also in the Quran....Are you saying that the Quran is also a product of these ancient beliefs?
