يُونُس : ٦٨

  • قَالُواْ They say
  • ٱتَّخَذَ Allah has taken
  • ٱللَّهُ Allah has taken
  • وَلَدٗاۗ a son
  • سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥۖ Glory be to Him
  • هُوَ He
  • ٱلۡغَنِيُّۖ (is) the Self-sufficient
  • لَهُۥ To Him (belongs)
  • مَا whatever
  • فِي (is) in
  • ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ the heavens
  • وَمَا and whatever
  • فِي (is) in
  • ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ the earth
  • إِنۡ Not
  • عِندَكُم you have
  • مِّن any
  • سُلۡطَٰنِ authority
  • بِهَٰذَآۚ for this
  • أَتَقُولُونَ Do you say
  • عَلَى about
  • ٱللَّهِ Allah
  • مَا what
  • لَا not
  • تَعۡلَمُونَ you know
They1 have said, "Allāh has taken a son." Exalted is He; He is the [one] Free of need. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. You have no authority for this [claim]. Do you say about Allāh that which you do not know?

The Christians and others.

[534] Or "evidence."

They, that is, the Jews and the Christians, and those who claim that the angels are the daughters of God, say, 'God has taken [to Him] a son'. God, exalted be He, says to them: Glory be to Him!, [in affirmation of] His transcending having offspring. He is Independent, [without need] of anyone, for only he who has need of a child would desire [to have] one. To Him belongs all that is in the skies and all that is in the earth, as possessions, creatures and servants. You have no warrant, [no] proof, for this, that you say. Do you say about God what you do not know? (an interrogative meant as a rebuke).
