Jesus
Invoked Allah.
Both the Quran and Gospels inform us of Jesus’ ability to perform miracles
and both also state that each time he performed them, he first invoked
God.
Jesus’ miracle of causing Lazarus to live again, is stated in John 11:41-42
in the following way:
"Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father I thank that you have
heard me. And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the people
which stand by I said it, that they may believe that you have sent me."
This quotation proves two things, firstly Jesus lifted his eyes to ask
God for help in enabling Lazarus to come back to life, thus establishing
the fact that Jesus could not be God as he relied upon God for his miracles
to take place. Secondly, he states that God sent him, proving him to be
an emissary of the Lord, not the Lord himself. The following quote from
the bible also proves that Jesus was a ‘tool’ which God used in order to
show signs of His Greatness:
"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus Nazareth, a man approved
of God, among you miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him
in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know." -(ACT 2:22).
