Jesus and Magic

When Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary, I shielded you from the harm of the Children of Israel when you came to them with clear signs, yet the disbelievers among them said, ‘This is nothing but sorcery.’

5:110When Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My favour unto thee and unto thy mother; how I strengthened thee with the holy Spirit, so that thou spakest unto mankind in the cradle as in maturity; and how I taught thee the Scripture and Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and how thou didst shape of clay as it were the likeness of a bird by My permission, and didst blow upon it and it was a bird by My permission, and thou didst heal him who was born blind and the leper by My permission; and how thou didst raise the dead by My permission; and how I restrained the Children of Israel from (harming) thee when thou camest unto them with clear proofs, and those of them who disbelieved exclaimed: This is naught else than mere magic;

And when Jesus, son of Mary, said, “O Children of Israel, I am Allah’s messenger to you, confirming the Torah before me and bringing good news of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad.” But when he came to them with clear signs, they said, “This is obvious sorcery.”

61:6And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was (revealed) before me in the Torah, and bringing good tidings of a messenger who cometh after me, whose name is the Praised One. Yet when he hath come unto them with clear proofs, they say: This is mere magic.
