                                    29That is, “God,” in the nominative form the name! It is also to be observed that the clause “In the beginning was the word” expressly indicatesthe origin of the word which was not before the beginning! By the “word of God” is not meant a separate and distinct substance, coeval and co-existent with the Almighty, but an expression and proclamation of His knowledge and will when He uttered the word Kun, namely, “Be.” When God said Kun, for the first time, the worlds became; when He said Kun,the Quran was created and written on the “Lowh” or “Table”; and when He pronounced the word “Be” Jesus (pbuh) was created in the womb of theBlessed Virgin Mary; and so on-whenever He willsto create, His order “Be” issufficient.The Christian auspicatory formula: “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” does not even mention the name of God! This is the Christian God! The Nestorian and Jacobite formula, which consists of ten syllables exactly like the Muslim “Bismillahi,” is thus to be transliterated: Bshim Abhā wō-Bhrā ou-Ruhā d-Qudshā, which has the same meaning as that contained in all other Christian formulas, The Quránic formula, on the other hand, which expresses the foundation of the Islamic truth is a great contrast to the Trintarians’formula: Bismilláhi ’r-Rahmáni ’r-Rahím; that is: “In the name of the Most Merciful and CompassionateAllah”.The Christian Trinity -inasmuch as it admits a plurality of persons in the Deity, [1] attributes distinct personal properties to each person; and makes use of family names similar or those in the pagan mythology- cannot be accepted as a true conception of the Deity . Allah is neither the father of a son nor the son of a father. He has no mother, nor isHe self-made. The belief in “Godthe Father and God the Son[1] . Quran, 9: 30. The Jews call ‹Uzair a son of Allah and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! (The author).
