Sam Shamoun criticizes Naik for creating a "strawman" argument. Shamoun points out that he never claimed being a son of God equated to divinity, and challenges Naik's inability to refute his actual points.
Zakir Naik explains that several biblical figures, such as Adam, David, and Ephraim, are referred to as "son of God." He quotes Romans 8:14, stating that those led by the spirit of God are sons of God, implying that following divine commandments makes one a son of God.
Shamoun cites Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:18 and Surah At-Tawbah 9:30, which state that Allah will fight those who claim Jesus or Uzair are sons of Allah. He also references Surah Maryam 19:88-93, which suggests that the only relationship with God is that of a slave to a master. Shamoun concludes that these Quranic verses, by denying the concept of a "son of God" for figures like Adam and Israel, condemn Muhammad as an antichrist and a false prophet according to Old and New Testament teachings.
