The Holy Quran 17:40 — Surah Al-Isra

Arabic text

أَفَأَصْفَىٰكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِٱلْبَنِينَ وَٱتَّخَذَ مِنَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنَـٰثًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَقُولُونَ قَوْلًا عَظِيمًا

Translation

(Referring to the beliefs of the Mushrikeen that the angels are Allaah's daughters, Allaah says,) Has your Rabb chosen sons only for you (because you love to have sons) and taken the angels as His daughters? You are surely making a preposterous (huge blunder) Statement (a huge blunder by choosing for Allaah what you dislike for yourselves when you regard Him to be your Rabb).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

أفخصَّكم ربكم -أيها المشركون- بإعطائكم البنين، واتخذ لنفسه الملائكة بنات؟ إن قولكم هذا بالغ القبح والبشاعة، لا يليق بالله سبحانه وتعالى.
