And they (Jews, Christians and pagans) say: Allâh has begotten a son (children or offspring). Glory be to Him (Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). Nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth, and all surrender with obedience (in worship) to Him.
وَقَالُوا۟ waqālū And they said
ٱتَّخَذَ ittakhadha has taken
ٱللَّهُ l-lahu Allah
وَلَدًۭا ۗ waladan a son
سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ ۖ sub'ḥānahu Glory be to Him
