Your Fourth Question
That is, not your question but Imam Ömer Efendi’s, about a wretched doctor saying that Jesus (UWP) had a father. With a lunatic interpretation, the doctor tried to show that a Qur’anic verse justifies his saying this.
At one time, the unfortunate man was trying to create something with the Disjointed Letters. He was working at it feverishly. Then I understood that he had perceived from the atheists’ attitude that they were going to attempt to abolish the Islamic script. He was struggling pointlessly as though to save the script in the face of that flood. Now in this matter, and in the Second Matter, he saw the atheists’ terrible attacks on the fundamentals of Islam, and I reckon he wanted to find a way of compromising through meaningless interpretations like that.
Since, according to decisive verses like, The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam, it is certain that Jesus (Upon whom be peace) had no father, no importance should be given to what those who attempt to change such certain, veritable facts say with their idiotic, forced interpretations. For they suppose it impossible that the law of human reproduction be broken. But there is no law that has no exceptions and to which certain people have not been subject. And there is no universal rule that has not been breached by extraordinary persons.
Since the time of Adam there has been no law to which there have been no individual exceptions. Firstly, the law of reproduction was violated in regard to origins by the origins of the two hundred thousand animal species, and brought to an end. That is, the two hundred thousand progenitors of the species, quite simply like Adam’s, violated the law of reproduction. They were not born of a father and mother and were given existence outside the law.
Furthermore, the greater part – innumerable members – of the hundred thousand species we see with our eyes every spring are created outside that law, on the surface of leaves and on putrified matter. So you can see just how unreasonable someone is who cannot accept with his reason the exception of a single person in one thousand nine hundred years to a law that was violated and breached at its origin and has been breached every year even, and clings to forced interpretations of the definite statements of the Qur’an.
The things those wretches call natural laws are the laws called âdâtullah or divine practices, which are a universal manifestation of the divine command and dominical will, and which Allah the Most High changes for certain instances of wisdom. He shows that His will and choice govern in everything and in every law. Certain extraordinary beings breach those practices. This truth He points out with His decree, The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam.
