Remember that this is a conditional sentence; in it, the existence of the condition, or even its possibility, is not necessary. Sometimes, even an impossible thing is mentioned as a hypothetical condition, as He said: « لَوْ اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّاصْطَفٰى مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ سُبْحٰنَهٗ هُوَ اللّٰهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ» [ الزمر : ۴ ] “If Allah had intended to take a son, He could have chosen whomever He willed from what He creates. Exalted is He! He is Allah, the One, the Prevailing.” And He said: «لَوْ كَانَ فِيْهِمَاۤ اٰلِهَةٌ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ لَفَسَدَتَا » [ الأنبیاء : ۲۲ ] “If there were in them (the heavens and the earth) other gods besides Allah, they would both have been ruined.”

[76] That is, you say that Allah has children. If I found your statement convincing and attained such certainty, then I would certainly be the first to worship him. But this matter is beyond my reason and understanding—that Allah could have any offspring, or that anyone else could have any share in the management of the universe. The reason is that if such were the case, the complete harmony found in the entire system of the universe could never be maintained in the presence of more than one god.
