The saying of Allah the Elevated:
Indeed the likeness of ‘Isa (Jesus) before Allah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" – and he was. The truth from your Lord, so be not of those who doubt. [Aal ‘Imraan: 59-60]
‘Isa son of Maryam [Jesus son of Mary], may the Salaat and Salaam be upon him, is a servant and messenger of Allah in the Islamic legislation, the Word of Allah that He bestowed upon Maryam and a Rooh - spirit from Him.
He is a servant [of Allah] who must not be worshiped, a Messenger [of Allah] who must not be belied. The Jews and Christians have either gone to extremes or deficiencies concerning him.
The Jews were cold and deficient towards him, as they described him as being a bastard child. The Christians on the other hand went to extremes concerning him, by worshiping him alongside Allah.
Allah created him, with His ability, from Maryam without a father, just as he created Adam from earth, He created Hawaa [Eve] from Adam and then created the rest of mankind from both male and female.
These are the four categories of creation that mankind is restricted to. Allah mentioned the creation of Adam and Hawaa and the rest of mankind - except ‘Isa - in the beginning of Surat an Nisaa saying:
O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawaa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women… [An Nisaa: 1]
Allah then completed [the categories of creation] by creating ‘Isa without a male, but this is a lesser category than Adam’s creation which was with neither a male nor female. For this reason Allah said:
Indeed the likeness of ‘Isa (Jesus) before Allah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" – and he was. [Aal ‘Imraan: 59]
The creation of ‘Isa was with the word ‘Kun - [Be]’ just as the creation of Adam was with ‘Be’. This is what came in the Islamic legislation and it is the truth without doubt, this is why Allah then said:
The truth from your Lord, so be not of those who doubt.[Aal ‘Imraan: 60]
He also said in Surat Maryam:
Such is ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). (It is) a statement of truth about which they doubt (or dispute).[Maryam: 34-35]
Commenting on this Ayah, ibn Katheer stated:
“Allah the Elevated says: {Indeed the likeness of ‘Isa (Jesus) before Allah In relation to Allah’s ability as he created him without a father {is as the likeness of Adam. For Allah the Glorified created him without a father or mother {He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" – and he was. The truth is from your Lord. Therefore the One who created Adam without a father is able to create ‘Isa in a simpler fashion. So if it can be claimed that ‘Isa is the son of Allah because he was created without a father, then it can also be claimed that Adam is the son of Allah for the same reason and more, and it is known with consensus that this is falsehood, so claiming that ‘Isa is the son of Allah for this reason is therefore a greater and more apparent falsehood. But the Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, wished to show His ability to His creation when he created Adam without a male or female, Hawaa with a male without a female, ‘Isa with a female but without a male and the rest of mankind from both male and female.”Another example of these four categories in the creation of mankind is in the creation of the children of Adam, as Allah blesses some of them with sons, some with daughters, some with both sons and daughters and some without either, as Allah said:
To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wills. He bestows female (offspring) upon whom He wills, and bestows male (offspring) upon whom He wills. Or He bestows both males and females, and He renders barren whom He wills. Verily, He is All-Knower and is Able to do all things. [Ash Shuraa: 49-50]
Likewise are the four categories in contentment and misery, amongst mankind are those who are born as believers and die as such, others are born as disbelievers and die as such, some are born as disbelievers and die as believers and others are born as believers and die as disbelievers. The evidence for the latter two categories is the Hadeeth of ibn Mas’ood where it states:
By the One, other than Whom there is no other deity, indeed one of you performs the actions of the people of Paradise until there is but an arms length between him and it, and what has been written overtakes him, and so he acts with the actions of the people of the Hellfire and thus enters it; and indeed one of you performs the actions of the people of the Hellfire, until there is but an arms length between him and it, and what has been written overtakes him and so he acts with the actions of the people of Paradise and thus he enters it.” [Narrated by both Bukhari and Muslim]

:قوله تعالى
إن مثل عيسى عند الله كمثل ءادم خلقه من تراب ثم قال له كن فيكون <59> الحق من ربك فلا تكن من الممترين (آل عمران:59-60)
عيسى بن مريم – عليه الصلاة والسلام- في شريعة الإسلام هو عبد الله ورسوله،وكلمته ألقاها إلي مريم وروح منه، وهو عبد لا يعبد، ورسول لا يكذب، وأما اليهود والنصارى فقد فرطوا فيه وأفرطوا، فاليهود جفوا وفرطوا ، إذ وصفوه بأنه ابن زنى ، والنصارى افرطوا، حتى غلوا فيه وعبدوه مع الله ، وقد خلقه الله عز وجل بقدرته من مريم بدون اب ، كما خلق آدم من تراب، وخلق حواء من آدم، وخلق سائر بني آدم من ذكر وأنثى، فهذه القسمة الرباعية انحصر فيها خلق البشر،وقد ذكر الله في أول سورة النساء خلق آدم وحواء وبني آدم غير عيسى ، فقال
يا أيها الناس اتقوا ربكم الذي خلقكم من نفس واحدة وخلق منها زوجها وبث منهما رجال كثيراً ونسآء ( النساء: 1)
وكمل بخلق عيسى من أنثى بلا ذكر ، فانه دون خلق آدم من غير ذكر وأنثى، ولهذا قال سبحانه وتعالى
إن مثل عيسى عند الله كمثل ءادم خلقه من تراب ثم قال له كن فيكون (آل عمران:59)
فخلق عيسى كان ب(كن)، كما أن خلق آدم كان ب(كن) ، وهذا الذي جاء في شريعة الإسلام عن خلق عيسى هو الحق بلا امتراء، ولهذا قال
الحق من ربك فلا تكن من الممترين (آل عمران:60)
:وقال في سورة مريم
ذلك عيسى ابن مريم قول الحق الذي فيه يمترون(34) ما كان لله أن يتخذ من ولد سبحانه إذا قضى أمراً فإنما يقول له كن فيكون ( مريم: 34-35)
:قال ابن كثير في تفسير هذه الآية
ومثل هذه القسمة الرباعية في أصل خلق البشر ، القسمة الرباعية في خلق بني آدم ، إذ وهب لبعضهم الذكور،ووهب لبعضهم الإناث ، ووهب لبعضهم الذكور والإناث ، وجعل من يشاء عقيماً ، كما قال عز وجل
لله ملك السماوات والأرض يخلق ما يشاء يهب لمن يشاء إناثا ويهب لمن يشاء الذكور<49> أو يزوجهم ذكراناً وإناثا ويجعل من يشاء عقيماً انه عليم قدير (الشورى : 49 - 50)
وكذا القسمة الرباعية في السعادة والشقاوة ، فان منهم من ينشأ على الإسلام ويموت عليه ، ومنهم من ينشأ على الكفر ويموت عليه ، ومنهم من تكون بدايته حسنة ونهايته سيئة ، ومنهم من تكون بدايته سيئة ونهايته حسنة، ويدل للقسمين الآخرين حديث ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه وفيه (( فوالذي لا اله غيره، إن أحدكم ليعمل بعمل أهل الجنة حتى ما يكون بينه وبينها إلا ذراع ، فيسبق عليه الكتاب، فيعمل بعمل أهل النار فيدخلها ،وان أحدكم ليعمل بعمل أهل النار، حتى ما يكون بينه وبينها إلا ذراع ،فيسبق عليه الكتاب ،فيعمل بعمل أهل الجنة فيدخلها ))
،رواه البخاري ( 3208) ومسلم ( 6723) .
