Kalimatullah

كلمة الله
Definition

The Word of Allah — a title given to Isa, meaning he was created by Allah's command 'Be' (kun) without a father, just as Adam was created without either parent. This title honors Isa's miraculous origin while affirming that he is a creation of Allah, not a part of the divine.

As understood in the classical tradition of Ibn Kathir and the scholars of his school.
