Baqarah 116-117

116- AND THEY SAID: “ALLAH HAS TAKEN A SON”, GLORY BE TO HIM, BUT HE HAS ALL THERE IS IN THE HEAVENS AND IN THE EARTH, ALL ARE SUBSERVIENT TO HIM.

117- THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND OF THE EARTH, AND IF HE DECREES SOMETHING, HE SAYS TO IT: “BE” AND IT WILL BE.

The Christians claim that Jesus is the son of God and the Jews claim that Al-ozir is the Son of God.  Some also believe that the Angels are Allah’s daughters.  Allah the Highest is glorifying himself in that He is above all this.  Allah the Highest is not like in any thing or any way. Allah the Highest therefore does not have the characteristics in his creations, of taking a female companion, procreating “THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND OF THE EARTH, HOW WOULD HE HAVE A SON, WHEN HE DID NOT HAVE A FEMALE COMPANION, AND HE CREATED EVERY THING, AND HE KNOWS ABOUT EVERY THING”.  (S: 6 A: 101)

They and we and every thing are but Allah’s slaves.  “AND THEY SAY: THE MERCIFUL HAS TAKEN A SON FOR HIMSELF.  GLORY IS TO HIM BUT HONOURED SLAVES * THEY DO NOT SPEAK BEFORE HE SPEAKS AND THEY DO AS HE COMMANDS THEM”.  (S: 21 A: 26, 27)

It is insulting and offensive to Allah the Highest to claim that he has sons or daughters.  It angers Him and all who believe that there is no God other than Allah, of His creation.  About this, Allah the Highest said: “AND THEY SAY: ‘THE MERCIFUL HAS TAKEN A SON’ * YOU CAME WITH A MONOSTROUS THING * THE SKIES ALMOST BURST, THE EARTH SPLIT AND THE MOUNTAINS BREAK DOWN INTO DUST * BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THAT THE MERCIFUL HAS TAKEN A SON * IT IS NOT FITTING OF THE OF THE MERCIFUL TO TAKE A SON * FOR INDEED ALL THOSE IN THE HEAVENS AND IN THE EARTH ARE COMING TO THE MERCIFUL AS SLAVES * HE KNOWS THEM AND COUNTED THEM EXACTLY * AND EACH WILL COME TO HIM ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION ALONE”.  (S: 19 A: 88-95)

Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “The son of Adam called Me a liar and he should not have done, and insulted Me and he should not have done.  As for calling me liar; it is in saying : ‘He shall not recreate us as we started’ and as for insulting me, it is in saying: ‘Allah has got a son’, while I am the self sufficient, I have begotten none, neither was I begotten, and have not equal or like of what so ever”.   (B: Tafseer Sorah 2; 8 & N: Janaez; 117 & A: 2; 317,350)

If it was not for Allah’s patience, he would not have had a chance to repent or to believe.  However, Allah the Highest is most tolerant of our misdeeds.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “No one is more patient about hurt he hears than Allah.  They claim that He has a son and He still provides for them and gives them health and strength”.  (B: Adab; 71 & M: Monafqeen; 49 & A: 4; 395,401,405)

We see, but not like Allah the Highest seeing, however this might make some think that they are like Allah.  We hear, but not like Allah’s hearing, and strike but not like Allah’s Strike.  All these characteristics might make some think that they are like Allah the Highest.  They are very wrong, for He said about Himself: “THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HIM”. 

When Allah the Highest wants to do something, He says to it: “Be” and it will be.  Can any one of his creations, even those who are claimed to be his sons or daughters do that?

No.
