Quote:seen in his ability to heal the sick, forgive sins, and rise form the dead.
None of this stuff here are divine works. None are specific to Jesus either.
Raising the dead:
"Then he cried out to the LORD , "O LORD my God, have you brought tragedy also upon this widow I am staying with, by causing her son to die?" Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried to the LORD ,<b> "O LORD my God, let this boy's life return to him!" The LORD heard Elijah's cry, and the boy's life returned to him,</b> and he lived. Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the house. He gave him to his mother and said, "Look, your son is alive!" 1 Kings 17:20-23
"Elisha died and was buried. Now Moabite raiders used to enter the country every spring. Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man's body into Elisha's tomb. <b>When the body touched Elisha's bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet.</b> Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel throughout the reign of Jehoahaz." 2 Kings 13:20-22
<b>Elisha raised the dead.</b>
Forgiving sins:
"Again he said, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you." Then he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.<b> If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven.</b> If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."
<b>The disciples forgave sins.</b>
Quote:Jesus (pls note, follow and focus) create anything even a fly right in front of the naked eyes of his people while he was in his human form??
Yes, technically, he did create when he turned the clay into a bird. Yet, the same can be said to Moses when he turned the cane to a snake.
How do we deal with this problem? According to what we have so far, not only are we talking about the divinity of Jesus, but that of Elisha, Moses, and the disciples. The answer lies in the Qur'an:
(3:49)
And (make him) a messenger to the children of Israel: That I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I determine for you out of dust like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird with <b>Allah's permission</b> and I heal the blind and the leprous, and bring the dead to life with <b>Allah's permission</b> and I inform you of what you should eat and what you should store in your houses; most surely there is a sign in this for you, if you are believers.
Yes, all these miracles are from Allah (swt). Without His permission, none of those actions could have taken place:
(2:117)
To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: When He decreeth a matter, He saith to it: <b>"Be,"</b> and it is.
