I understand that God says he was not begotten. I understand that part completey.
But nowhere in the Quran does it say that God does not become begotten nor beget "because it is unclean and unfit for a God to do".
The point I am trying to make is there there is nothing "unclean or unfit" for Allah to do, as he can do as he pleases, regardless of how we may think about it, thats all.
Another question this discussion has made me aware of....if Jesus (pbuh) was not the Son of God....how does Islam explain the virgin birth of Jesus from Mary?
Surely that is not a thing that happens naturally, and is a miracle that only happened because of Allah's will. This is a specialy event that has only happened once in all of time, and because Allah wanted it to. Because of that, the birth of Jesus is different than that of any other person ever born. Allah does not do that "just because". There must be a sign in that, and the importance of Jesus is very significant and must not be overlooked.
Islam mentions very little of Jesus - only here and there to say he was not the son of God. But for Jesus to be born by a virgin mother is a pure act of Allah, and for it to be small of an issue in Islam completely blows my mind.
