The Holy Quran 39:4 — Surah Az-Zumar

Arabic text

لَّوْ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّٱصْطَفَىٰ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ ۖ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ

Translation

If (one assumes that) Allaah intended (willed) to have a child, He would have chosen whatever He desires from His creation (and is not forced to take those whom the Mushrikeen name as His children). (However, the fact is that) He is Pure (from needing children), and He is the One, the Omnipotent.

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

لو أراد الله أن يتخذ ولدًا لاختار من مخلوقاته ما يشاء، تنزَّه الله وتقدَّس عن أن يكون له ولد، فإنه الواحد الأحد، الفرد الصمد، القهَّار الذي قهر خلقه بقدرته، فكل شيء له متذلل خاضع.
