Strangely enough the three great nations of the world : Jews, Christians
and Muslims are at variance with regard, both, to the birth as well as
the death of Jesus Christ who was born among the Jews. The Jews declare
his birth to be illegitimate and they are guilty of uttering a grievous
calumny against Mary, mother of Jesus. They declare him to be unfit to
"enter the congregation of the Lord" because of his illegitimate birth
(God forbid). The Christians on the other hand believe that Jesus Christ
was born without the agency of an earthly father and that he was the
son of God Himself.
This shows that both the Jews and the Christians have gone to the
opposite extremes as regards Jesus's birth. The Muslims on their part,
believe that Jesus, no doubt, was born without agency of an earthly
father, but he was not the son of God. A fatherless birth, may be a
strange incident but it is not unnatural. There have been cases in
medical history where virgins have given birth to babies. The Muslims
believe that Jesus was a true prophet of God. His birth, without the
agency of man, has nothing to do with his son-
