3:59

Salaam all,

This is 3:59
إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَى عِندَ اللّهِ كَمَثَلِ آدَمَ خَلَقَهُ مِن تُرَابٍ ثِمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ
Inna mathala AAeesa AAinda Allahi kamathali adama khalaqahu min turabin thumma qala lahu kun fayakoonu

The Aya says:
Verily, the example of Jesus at Allah’s presence (is) like the example of Adam. He (God) created him (Adam) from soil, then He said to him: be, so he happens to be.

My personal note:
This is an answer to the people who claim something special about the creation of Jesus in order to support a view that he is divine or of divine nature. God says, that the example of Jesus is the same as Adam’s. God said be, and Adam became being. It is not different for the creation of Jesus.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Khalaqahu: He created him/ He shaped him
Note: the root is KH-L-Qaf and it means creating and creation. The word has many other meanings that revolve around that theme, in a concrete fashion, it means the smoothened rock that was shaped that way, so it has the cutting and shaping.
