{{Quote|{{Quran|53|1-18}}|I swear by the star when it goes down.Your companion does not err, nor does he go astray; Nor does he speak out of desire. It is naught but revelation that is revealed, The Lord of Mighty Power has taught him, The Lord of Strength; so he attained completion, And he is in the highest part of the horizon. Then he drew near, then he bowed. So he was the measure of two bows or closer still. And He revealed to His servant what He revealed. The heart was not untrue in (making him see) what he saw. What! do you then dispute with him as to what he saw? And certainly he saw him in another descent, At the farthest lote-tree; Near which is the garden, the place to be resorted to. When that which covers covered the lote-tree; The eye did not turn aside, nor did it exceed the limit. Certainly he saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.}}

'''ANSWER FROM MUSLIM:''' Eyes can't see Allah as He says: "His grasp is over all vision". As for the second verse there is not a single word that says you can see Allah, and for third verse, you quoted it is about angel Gabriel (Jibril) not about Allah, you only need to see previous ayahs or tafsir.

'''ANSWER FROM MUSLIM:''' In Quran 39:4, God says that if He had WILLED to choose a son then He COULD have him. So Allah doesn't want son, nor He needs son and of course He couldn't have him.

'''ANSWER FROM MUSLIM:''' In first verse you quoted, Maryam got Jesus without father, but Maryam is human being and if Allah wills He can do whatever He wants. This case of Maryam and Jesus is called mujeezah of chosen people. As for another verse it is about Allah who don't have comfort nor He needs it as it is said in previous answer.

'''ANSWER FROM MUSLIM:''' Allah knows everything. In 2:155 nowhere is mentioned that He need to test us so He could know. He is testing us to see who is believer and who is nonbeliever, He knows it in advance but just think... what if all of us were same? No fear, no hunger, no loss in goods etc. How will world look like?
