According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the Quranic statement in Surah Al 'Imran, verse 59, that the nature of Jesus ('Isa) is as Adam's, serves as a decisive theological argument affirming God's absolute power and the humanity of Jesus. Tafsir scholars like Ibn Kathir and Al-Tabari explain that this verse was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in response to the Christian delegation of Najran, who questioned Jesus's status as a servant of God due to his fatherless birth. The verse counters their claim with a powerful analogy: if the creation of Jesus from a mother but no father is miraculous, the creation of Adam from dust with neither a father nor a mother is an even greater miracle. Yet, no one claims divinity for Adam. Therefore, both creations are manifestations of Allah's command, 'Be!' (Kun), establishing them as honored prophets and creations, and powerfully refuting any basis for deification.
