5) A Word From Allah (كلمة من الله)
This title appears in the Qur'an directly twice, and is also used indirectly two times. It confirms to us that Christ was not born of a man, but of the Word of Allah. The Word of the Almighty became incarnate in him. The Son of Mary is not an ordinary human being. He possesses the creating power of the Word of Allah. He also has divine power to heal, authority to forgive, mercy to comfort, and ability to renew. All the powers of the Word of Allah live and work in him. Not only did he speak the Word of Allah, but he also lived it, and remained sinless. The love and holiness of the Most High was manifested in his life. The law and truth of Allah became visible in the Son of Mary. He who hears his words and acts accordingly will be changed into his example.
Qur'anic references to the Word of Allah: Suras Al 'Imran 3:39, 45, 64; -- al-Nisa' 4:171.
