﴿ مَا ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٍۢ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُۥ مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ ۚ إِذًۭا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَٰهٍۭ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ ۚ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ﴾

“Never did God take unto Himself any offspring, nor has there ever been any deity side by side with Him: [for, had there been any,] lo! each deity would surely have stood apart [from the others] in whatever it had created, and they would surely have [tried to] overcome one another! Limitless in His glory is God, [far] above anything that men may devise by way of definition,”

لم يجعل الله لنفسه ولدًا، ولم يكن معه من معبود آخر؛ لأنه لو كان ثمة أكثر مِن معبود لانفرد كل معبود بمخلوقاته، ولكان بينهم مغالبة كشأن ملوك الدنيا، فيختلُّ نظام الكون، تنزَّه الله سبحانه وتعالى وتقدَّس عن وصفهم له بأن له شريكًا أو ولدًا.
