ALLAH AND THE MESSIAH ARE GODS IN THE QURAN

According to Quran 9:31, Allah and the Messiah were mentioned side by side.

Quran 9:31 in Arabic is separated into two for easy reading.

اتَّخَذُوا أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَالْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ

First part:

They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah and the Messiah, the son of Mary.

وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا إِلَٰهًا وَاحِدًا ۖ لَّا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Last part:

And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him.

Similarly, reading in the Quran 48:9

 للِّتُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُعَزِّرُوهُ وَتُوَقِّرُوهُ وَتُسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا

 بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ  meaning: Allah and His Messenger

[Sahih International]
That you may believe in Allah and His Messenger, honour him, respect him and glorify him morning and afternoon.

 

There must be a reason why Allah and the Messiah (Jesus) were mentioned side by side, so let us take a further look at the Quran.

Quran 21:91 said; " وَالَّتِي أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهَا مِن رُّوحِنَا وَجَعَلْنَاهَا وَابْنَهَا آيَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ"

(In English) "And the one who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples."

 

Quran 19:17 said; "فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِن دُونِهِمْ حِجَابًا فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا"

(In English) "And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Spirit, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man."

Quran 66:12 said; "وَمَرْيَمَ ابْنَتَ عِمْرَانَ الَّتِي أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتْ بِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهِ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْقَانِتِينَ"

(Yusuf Ali) "And Mary, the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into her of Our spirit; and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the devout."

In Islam, associating with Allah is an act of Shirk - Quran verses
