Question:

Can you please mention some Ayat from the Holy Quran which reject the claim of the deity of Jesus?

Answer:

The following are explicit statements from the Final Testament, i.e. the holy Quran; about Jesus son of Mary (may the peace and mercy of God be upon him):

1. “O people of the Scripture! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allah aught but the truth. The Messiah, son of Mary was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit from Allah. So believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not three (Trinity). Cease! It is better for you. For Allah is One God, glory be to Him above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth.” [4:171]

2. “Verily, the likeness of Jesus before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then said to him: “Be”- and he was.” [3:59]

3. “The Messiah, son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother was righteous. They both used to eat food. Look how We make the proofs clear to them; yet look how they are deluded away (from the truth).” [5:75]

4. “The Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths, resembling the saying of those who disbelieved aforetime.” [9:31]

5. “Surely they have disbelieved who say: God is Messiah, son of Mary. But Messiah said: O Children of Israel! Worship my Lord and your Lord.” [5:72]

6. “Such is Jesus, son of Mary. (This is) the statement of truth, about which they dispute.” [Chapter of Mary 19:34]
