Some cannot comprehend Jesus (PBUH) being born without a father. How can we make an explanation for them?

One of the points which most people wonder about is Jesus Christs having been born without a father. Some cannot comprehend this.

Here what misleads us is our perspective. We usually make a comparison considering that deeds of Allah and those of us are similar. We must know that the word of be is enough for Allah to make something happen for the things, which are impossible for us to do. That Allahs commanding, Be is enough for the things to be, which are impossible for us to do. Not only was Jesus Christ (PBUH) born without a father. There are many examples like this in the world of the living beings. Bees are only one of these examples.

As known, there is a queen bee in each beehive. Once in her life, she goes out flying for a mating. During this flying, she mates with the speediest male bee; and the sperm (male reproductive cells) she gets from him is stored in a sac. After she returns to the hive, she starts to produce eggs. Eggs pass by the sac in which there are sperms. At this moment, the sperms fertilized some eggs. Some come out of the eggs even without fertilization. Female bees come out from the fertilized eggs and male bees from the ones, which have not been fertilized. We call this kind of reproduction Parthenogenesis reproduction in biology.

If we deny the birth of Jesus Christ without a father by saying we cannot comprehend it, how can we explain the birth of billions of male bees without a father each year?

Another example is aphids. These insects, which live on sucking sap from the leaves and buds of some plants in the spring, produce young ones without mating (namely without father). All of these young ones are female. Insects, which mate with males in the autumn, do not produce young ones but they produce eggs. In the spring, young female ones come out from these fertilized eggs. Males come into existence only in the autumn.

Daphnis also show parthenogenesis (namely without father) reproduction in a certain season. Young ones come out from the eggs, which are unfertilized.

As seen above, both aphids and daphnia reproductions without father are not constant. They occur only in certain seasons. That is to say, Allah Almighty indirectly says, I am able to change the law of reproduction with my wisdom whenever I wish. I am able to create living beings without a father as well as with father. Let causes not mislead you.

It is possible to increase the examples more. Ants, itch mites, and some of worms reproduce asexually by parthenogenesis (without father).

Our parents are just causes for our coming to the world. Do they have any other role apart from this? For example, is it our mother or father who has given our eyes and hands? Moreover, where do we have our spiritual tools such as mind, memory, imagination, hate, compassion? Let us consider our body, which takes its present form by first growing out of a single cell. Who is that owner of power who has made this marvelous building from a single cell?

Since we exist, cannot deny ourselves, and were created from a single cell, how is it that the owner of knowledge and power cannot create us without father and mother? Is it not Him Who created our mother and father too. The laws of reproduction in the world do not have necessarily take place by means of a male and a female. Bacteria reproduce as rapidly within a few hours as to see their several previous generations. Nevertheless, there is neither father nor mother available. A bacterium divides into two and there appear two bacteria.

On the other hand, one must not forget that the first creation of millions of kinds of plants became without mother and father.

There might be an exception for every law. As an exception to the law of coming to the world by means of mother and father, Jesus (PBUH) was created. This is a testing for human beings. The Divine Wisdom wished so. Jesus (PBUH) is among the great prophets. The miracles, which were given to the prophets by Allah (SWT), were the same kind as what their contemporaries were advanced. Since at the time of Jesus (PBUH) medicine was popular and his creation became in a fatherless way that astonished and still astonishes the medical professionals; and he continued with his miracles such as resuscitating the dead.

That Jesus Christ (PBUH) was without a father neither brings deficiency into Allah Almightys power nor a decrease to His knowledge. On the contrary, it shows that He can create anybody in a way He wishes. With this incident, He warns us not to be drowned in the causes. He shows that parents are only causes, and, if His wisdom requires, He is able to create human beings and even all beings without parents as well.
