7.1. Christ Created
Christ says in the Qur’an:
Thus the Qur’an describes Christ as creator; it is very interesting that the Qur’an says Christ created using clay which is the same material Allah used in the Qur’an to create Adam:
The idea of Christ doing this by “the leave of God” is very similar to what Christ said in the New Testament:
The difference is that while the Gospel stresses the unity of the trinity and that Christ came to do the will of the Father, the Qur’an doesn’t explain the miracle but rather just puts it among a list of things Christ did. Stating in the Qur’an that Christ did the will of Allah is totally irrelevant and does not demonstrate that Christ could therefore not have been God but must have been a different person, for Christians never say the will of Christ is contrary to the will of the Father – in fact their will can only be the same!
So we are left with this fact: in addition to Allah, no one else in Islam is given the attribute of creator other than Christ.
