Muslims believe that only Allah has the power to create life and that humans cannot breathe life into inanimate objects.

The Islamic perspective emphasizes that the ability to create life is a unique attribute of Allah, as highlighted in various hadiths where Muhammad warns against idolatry and the futility of human attempts to create life. However, Christians assert that Jesus, being fully divine, shares in this creative power. The New Testament presents Jesus performing miracles such as raising the dead and giving life, which aligns with the divine prerogative described in Islamic texts. Furthermore, the Gospel of John explicitly states that Jesus is the Word through which all things were made, reinforcing the belief in His divine authority. Thus, the Christian understanding of Jesus' nature as both fully God and fully man supports the claim that He has the ability to breathe life, consistent with the divine prerogative outlined in Islamic teachings.
