If giving life to the bird of clay is considered literally then it shows Jesus (as) was even superior (na auzabillah) to God Almighty Himself.
Let me show you..
When Allah said .‘Be’ for Jesus to come into being, it took almost 9 months before Jesus (as) could be born but when hazrat Jesus(as) ‘gave life’ to the clay bird, it not only became alive but it also started flying right away.
Tell me whose ideas are you supporting by believing literally in this miracle?
