ٱلْأَنْبِيَاء : ٢٦

  • وَقَالُواْ And they say
  • ٱتَّخَذَ Has taken
  • ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ the Most Gracious
  • وَلَدٗاۗ a son
  • سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥۚ Glorified is He!
  • بَلۡ Nay
  • عِبَادٞ (they are) slaves
  • مُّكۡرَمُونَ honored
And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, they1 are [but] honored servants.
Footnotes
1 Those they claim to be "children" of Allāh, such as the angels, Ezra, Jesus, etc.
And they say, 'The Compassionate One has taken a son', from the angels. Glory be to Him! Nay, but they are [merely] servants who are honoured, in His presence; for [the very] servitude [of all creatures to Him] is inconsistent with [the attribution of any of them as] progeny [of His].
