Pearl of Wisdom

' afwan b. Yahya and I visited al-Rida (AS), and Abu Ja'far [Imam al-Jawad], who was three years old, was standing there. We asked him [i.e. al-Rida], may Allah sacrifice us for you. If -God forbid something happened to you, who will be [the Imam] after you?' He said, 'This son of mine', pointing towards him. We asked, 'While he is still this young?' He replied, 'Of course while he is still this young. Verily Allah, Blessed and most High, made Jesus His divine proof [on earth] when he was just two years old.'

Question : #163 Category: Interfaith Dialogue
Subject: how to explain Allah to Christians?
Question: How can we explain the divinity and oneness of Allah to our Christian friends, what practical example can we use to demonstrate that God does not form into man and dies and etc.
Answer: Salaam alaykum,

When speaking to Christians we cannot use the Quran as a proof. We must use our intellects which we both share. You have to start by explaining how God must be absolute perfection; must have all of the attributes of perfection and cannot be characterized by any attribute which would negate absolute perfection. Some of such attributes would be having a body, being compounded, and definitely dying. It is a long process and not easy but it can be done.

Fi amanillah
