Verse 3:59 tells us that, with Allah Almighty, Jesus was like Adam. They were alike in one respect; they were both born asexually. Both did not have a human father.
That is the plain interpretation of that Verse. But Allah had put a numerical code in the Qur'aan, perhaps completely unknown to the Arabs to whom the Qur'aan was revealed, to prove that the Holy Book was divine, and not man-made!
Adam occurs 25 times in the entire Qur'aan. Jesus (Aaeesa) also occurs 25 times therein!
Not only that!
Before Verse 3:59, Adam occurs 6 times in the Qur’aan, and so does Jesus occur 6 times! And after Verse 3:59, Adam occurs 18 times, and so does Jesus!!
I have verified this myself.
Besides Verse 3:59, in which both Adam and Jesus are mentioned, Adam is mentioned in Verses 2:31, 2:33, 2:34, 2:35, 2:37, 3:33, 5:27, 7:11, 7:19, 7:26, 7:27, 7:31, 7:35, 7:172, 17:61, 17:70, 18:50, 19:58, 20:115, 20:116, 20:117, 20:120, 20:121, & 36:60. Whereas, Jesus is mentioned in 2:87, 2:136, 2:253, 3:45, 3:52, 3:55, 3:84, 4:157, 4:163, 4:171, 5:46, 5:78, 5:110, 5:112, 5:114, 5:116, 6:85, 19:34, 33:7, 42:13, 43:63, 57:27, 61:6, & 61:14.
Imagine, this was done when there was no computer! There was not even paper then to write on! And the Qur'aan was revealed, in portions, during a long spell of 23 years!!! Could any man have inserted this utterly astonishing code? Surely, a human mind can even then deny divine authorship of the Qur'aan only under Satanic influence!
