Jesus birth :- Says (Mathew 1:18- Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: when as his moter Mary was espused to Jhoseph, before they came together, she was found wiht child of the Holy Gohost.)
And also “Luke” speaking about how the Angel Gabrielle entered to Virgin Mary, saying:
“And the angel came in unto her, and said Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is wiht thee: blessed art thou among women.” ( 1:28.),
:Then announced her of Jesus
“ 34- Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man ? 35- And the angel answered and said unto her, the Holy Gohost sshall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1)
And when somebody says that Jesus born with power of Holy Ghost and that such matter gives him a distinguishing feature than other human being, here I say it is not a distinguishing feature which calls for thinking, even for one moment, that Jesus is not of mankind clay, whereas we find here that his colleague & relative (John the Baptist) born with power of Holy Ghost & we find the same Angel Garbriel has said to his father Zakaria when he is in the Temple as stated in:
(Luke 1:13- But the angel said unto him, Fear not Zach’a-ri’as : for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Eliesabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.14- And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 15- For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strang drink, and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.)
After that Zakaria himself is filled of Holy Gost as said by (Luke 1:67-And his father Zacharias was filled wiht the Holy Ghost, and prople sied saying, 68-Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for the hath visited and redeemed his people.)
Then this same Holy Ghost who had been with Zakaria & his son John was the one who had been with Jesus, whereas it is said by (Luke 1:26-And in the sixth month the angel Ga’bri-el was sent form God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27-To a rirgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of hte house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.).
It became clear from this that the Holy Ghost is one of Allah Angels. Also it is said by (Luke 2:21-And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. 22- And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; be called holy to the Lord; 23- (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; 24-And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. )
and as per Mousa's law we find that the child born by the Virgin was circumcised and his mother cleaned & presented a sacrifice for the God, whereas it is said by (Luke 2:21-24).
It is a must to attract the attention to an essential point i.e the concept of the most Holy in Judaism and Christianity differs from its concept in Islam, whereas the word "Holy" which is "Qadas" in Hebrew means "separation" or "keeping away" but the Islamic concept of "Hallowing" is "glorification and infallibility".
Therefore, we find in Mousa Sharia book Allah says to Mousa (Exodus 13:2-Sanctify wunto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine. )
That is to say separate the first borns. So the word "Most Holy" for such born means separating the first born son who first opened the Womb of his mother. Consequently, it is clear that Jesus was an ordinary born child governed by things applicable to other human being & that he & his mother were fully subjected to Mousa's Law.
Then, we confirm that Jesus came from essence of human being whereas he was born of Virgin Mary who was one of Adam's daughters who was created of earth. The miracle here is that Allah Al mightily is able to give the sterile women as he gives Virgin women whereas Allah in Holy Koran said surah Al-'Imran:
(59)إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَىٰ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ آدَمَ ۖ خَلَقَهُ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ )
“ 59- Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was.”
When Allah created Adam that was miracle & the same when he created Adam's wife of his body, is it not miracle.
“Luke” is prescribing the situation whereas he connects between the birth of (Yuahn the Baptist) & birth of Jesus. When Virgin Mary surprises because she would be pregnant & deliver while she does not know a man, the Angel says to her as stated in:
(Luke 1:34-Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man ? 35- And the angel answered and said unto her, the Holy Gohost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 36-And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her oil age; and htis is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37- For with God nothing shall be impassible.)
And also we find the Holy Koran says
( (35 مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ ۖ سُبْحَانَهُ ۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ )
(Sura Maryam 35- It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, “Be,” and it is.).
