JESUS IS LIKE ADAM

Quoted from the "ISLAM REVEALED"

JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO ISLAM JESUS IS LIKE ADAM

The Quran states in Surat al-Imran (The Family of ‘Imran) 3:59:

Lo! the likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, then He said unto him: Be! and he is.

Despite this reading, we must never overlook the fact that Adam was created fully grown, but Jesus was born the infant of a virgin.
Al Quisam, Ibn Jaraij, and A’krama report,

We heard that the Christians of Najran sent a deputation to Muhammad, among them Al Aquib and As Sayyid, who said, "O Muhammad, why do you revile our Friend?" He replied, "Who is your Friend?" They said, "Isa (Jesus), Son of Mary, You allege He is a servant," to which Muhammad replied, "Truly, He is a servant of Allah and His Word, bestowed on Mary and a Spirit from Him."

Then they were angry with him and said, "If you are truthful show us a servant who can raise the dead and heal the blind and the leper and who, creating from clay the form of a bird, will breathe into it so that it becomes a bird--Isn’t He Allah?" Muhammad said nothing until Gabriel came to him and said, "O Muhammad! They have blasphemed who said that Allah is Christ the Son of Mary." Then Muhammad replied, "O Gabriel! They asked me to tell them to who ‘Isa (Jesus) is similar," and Gabriel said, "‘Isa is just as Adam."
