19. 1. All belong to Him and are His slaves, so when you are not willing to take any slave as your son or any bondwoman as your wife, then how can Allah make some of His owned slaves and servants His sons and some His wives?
19. 2. By this are meant the angels; they too are His slaves and servants. These words also indicate their honor and dignity, that they are the ones close to His court. They are not His daughters as the polytheists believed.
