Refutation of Those Who attribute Children to Allah and say that the Angels are His Daughters

Allah denounces those idolators who attribute daughters to Allah -- exalted be He above that -- and attributed to themselves what they desired, i.e., they wanted male offspring to themselves.

Sura 37, Ukurasa 452, Juzuu 23

149. So ask their opinion: “(Are you convinced) that your Lord should have daughters and you should have sons? 150. Did We create the angels as females the while they witnessed?” 151. Behold, it is one of their fabrications that they say: 152. “Allah has begotten.” They are liars! 153. Did He choose daughters rather than sons? 154. What is the matter with you that you make such strange judgements? 155. Will you then not take heed? 156. Do you have any clear authority for such claims? 157. Bring your Book, if you are truthful. 158. They have established a kinship between Allah and the angels; and the angels know well that these people will be arraigned (as culprits). 159. (They say): “Exalted be Allah above what they attribute to Him, 160. all of them except the chosen servants of Allah. 161. So you and your deities 162. shall not be able to tempt anyone away from Allah 163. except him who shall roast in the Blazing Fire. 164. As for us, there is none but has an appointed station. 165. Verily we range ourselves in rows (as humble servants) 166. and we are of those who glorify Allah.”
