Incarnation

CRITICAL: established in pre-Islamic Arabic Christian literature. الحلول (hulul, ‘indwelling’) is the term used by Sufi mystics (e.g. al-Hallaj) for a pantheistic divine-infusion into a person, itself considered heretical even within Islam - do not borrow this framework. الظهور (‘mere appearance’) echoes the Quran’s own ‘shubbiha lahum’ (it was made to appear so) language used to deny the crucifixion, and would suggest Christ’s humanity was illusory rather than real.
