Another of the evidences used for Jesus' divinity is the application of the title "Son of God" to Jesus. It should first be noted that nowhere in the Gospels does Jesus actually call himself "Son of God".1 Instead, he is recorded to have repeatedly called himself "Son of man" (e.g. Luke 9:22) innumerable times. And in Luke 4:41,he actually rejected being called "Son of God": "And demons also came out of many, crying, ‘You are the Son of God!' But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ."
Jesus denied being God in Mark 10:18 "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone". This shows that Jesus didn't think he was God.
"Jesus (peace be upon him) himself rejected claims that would make him divine or the literal son of God, showing he was a servant of Allah, not God. In the Bible, when demons call him ‘Son of God,' he rebukes them and commands silence (Mark 3:11-12)—why not affirm it if it were true? Even more telling, when someone calls him good, he responds, ‘Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone' (Mark 10:18). This is a clear denial of divinity; he redirects praise to God, not himself. In Islam, the Qur'an aligns with this: ‘The Messiah said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord"' (Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:72).
Tawhid shines through here—Allah is the only One worthy of worship, and Jesus points to Him, not himself. The ‘son of God' title in scripture is metaphorical, like how others are called sons of God (Psalm 82:6), not a claim of divinity. Jesus' own words reject any co-equality with Allah. The Trinity twists this, but Islam preserves his true message: he was a prophet, not a son in any literal sense, upholding Allah's sole divinity."
Muslim arguments claim Jesus never called Himself "Son of God" and denied divinity. In reality, Jesus often referred to Himself as "Son of Man" (Luke 9:22), a title from Daniel 7:13-14 that denotes a divine, messianic figure.
He also affirmed being the Son of God before the Jewish authorities:
Verses like Mark 10:18 ("Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone") and His silencing of demons (Luke 4:41; Mark 3:11-12) show humility and authority, not denial of divinity.
Thus, "Son of God" is a title of unique divine nature, not biological or metaphorical only. Jesus revealed God Himself, fulfilling the prophecies and promises of Scripture.
