3:5 This verse is an argument against the “son of God” doctrine. Allâh is not only All-Powerful but He is also All-Knowing. Nothing is hidden from Him, and His knowledge encompasses His entire creation. Lack of knowledge is incompatible with Lordship. Jesus never made such a claim, and “his father in heaven” kept many things concealed from his knowledge. The verse has yet another significance - given that Allâh has the absolute knowledge of everything, He reveals from time to time some of the knowledge of the unseen to his Prophets.
