Kun Fa-Yakun Be and It Is

We are told that Allah creates by saying ‘Be’, and it is. In a number of passages we read that Allah says to IT ‘Be’ and it is.

S 2:117 The inventor of the skies and the Earth. And when he has preordained a matter he only says to it: Be, and it is.

S 3:47 She said: Lord, how can I have a child when a man has not touched me? He said: Thus does Allah create what he wills. When he decides a matter he only says to it: Be and it is.

S 3:59 See below.

S 19:35 It was not for Lah that he should take any child. Praise be to him! When he decides a matter he only says to it: Be and it is.

S 36:82 His command is only when he wants a thing that he says to it: Be, and it is.

S 40:68 He is the one who vivifies and causes to die. And when he has decided a matter he only says to it: Be and it is.

Let’s look at a well-know verse. S 3:59 The example of Isa with Allah is as the example of Adam. He created him from dirt then said to him: Be and he is.

Adam was created from dirt then Allah said to the already existing Adam ‘Be’, and he is. And he should have said kana ‘was’. Or did the author think that Adam was still alive? Yakun could be understood in a future tense, ‘will be’, which would also be absurd. And Isa was from Allah's spirit, and was not from dirt, and was blown into Maryam.

Isa, Allah's Spirit

Isa is Allah
