In the Name of Allah, the
Gracious, the Merciful
Excerpts from Chapter 2
of QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir, wherein the Qur’aanic reiteration of
the subject matter is discussed:
116. And they say, "Allah has a
son!" HE is much too glorified to have one!! HIS, on the other hand, is
everything that is in the heavens and the earth!!! All are obedient to Him.
117. Originator of the heavens and the
earth! And when He decides to accomplish anything, He just tells it,
"Be!" And, it is!!170
170. And thus, in these two divine Verses (2:116 and
2:117), does the Creator logically demolish that man-conceived concept!!
Everything in the heavens and the earth is His creation. He has just to say,
"Be", and anything, He wishes, comes into existence. Why would He
then come down to the level of His creatures to beget a son?! A human being may
need a son to support him when he becomes weak in his old age, or to inherit
and look after his worldly property when he is no more. But that obviously is
not the case with Allah! There is no question of He ever becoming weak or being
'no more'!! The idea of a 'divine son' is therefore nothing but a figment of
man's imagination. This idea places him on an entirely false, and therefore
wrong, footing that would inevitably lead him astray in this world and make him
completely lost in the next!
Spare us from being succumbed to man-made
innovations, Allah!
