The Holy Quran 43:16 — Surah Az-Zukhruf

Arabic text

أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ بَنَاتٍ وَأَصْفَىٰكُم بِٱلْبَنِينَ

Translation

Or has (it become part of their beliefs that) Allaah (has) chosen (created) daughters from His creation (for Himself) and selected you to have sons? (Why would Allaah choose daughters when, according to them, daughters are inferior to sons?)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

بل أتزعمون -أيها الجاهلون- أن ربكم اتخذ مما يخلق بنات وأنتم لا ترضون ذلك لأنفسكم، وخصَّكم بالبنين فجعلهم لكم؟ وفي هذا توبيخ لهم.
