(Ayah 16) {اَمِ اتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ بَنٰتٍ …:} Their ingratitude reaches its peak in that they ascribe offspring to Allah, and that too daughters, who are considered lesser than sons, while they themselves desire sons. {’’ اَمْ ‘‘} (Or) before this, there is an omitted sentence, meaning (Has he been forcibly given daughters whom he could not remove) or, despite having all power and authority, he himself agreed to take daughters and chose to give you sons, whereas only a fool would be content with something lesser. Think! How great is the insolence you are committing against Allah.
