The Qur'an rejects that Jesus is the physical son, ''walad,'' of God but not the spiritual Son of God which is what Christians believe or what the Bible says. Therefore the Qur'an is not critiquing Christianity; it is either rebuking Christian heretics or misunderstanding what Christianity really teaches. There is no contradiction for a Muslim to call Jesus the Son of God as the Bible does.

According to Ibn Hisham in [http://sirah.al-islam.com/display.asp?f=rwd3002.htm Sirat Rasul Allah], a group of Christians from Narjan called Jesus the walad of God. Muhammad replied to them using the Qur'an, approximately Surah 3.1-3.80. Muhammad does not correct them saying that Jesus is the Son of God, using neither ibn nor walad.
