Al-Anbiya (The Prophets)
Verse 26
Translation:
26. And they say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten offspring." Glory to Him! they are (but) servants raised to honor.
Notes (Tafseer):
2686. This refers both to the Trinitarian superstition that Allah has begotten a son, and to the Arab superstition that the angels were daughters of Allah. All such superstitions are derogatory to the glory of Allah. The prophets and the angels are no more than servants of Allah: they are raised high in honour, and therefore they deserve our highest respect, but not our worship.
