سُوْرَةُ يُوْنُسَ
Surah Yunus (10) — Ayah 68
قَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَدًا ۗ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ ۖ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ۖ لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنْ عِندَكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍۭ بِهَـٰذَآ ۚ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿68﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
They (Jews, Christians and pagans) say: "Allâh has begotten a son (children)." Glory is to Him! He is Rich (Free of all needs). His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. No warrant you have for this. Do you say against Allâh what you know not.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
68. They say, “Allah has taken a son.” Glory be to Him! He is Self-Sufficient [82]. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth [83]. You have no proof for this. Do you say about Allah what you do not know?
[82]
Does Allah Need a Son?
There are two ways of having offspring: one is that the offspring is biological, which necessitates that He has a wife and that He is in need of her, and whoever is in need cannot be the True Deity. The very attribute of the True Deity is that He is not in need of anything and is independent of everything. The second way is to adopt someone, and in the world, generally those who are childless adopt, and their purpose in adopting is that the adopted one can become their heir. But Allah Almighty has no need of this either, because He has always existed and will always remain. Thus, in this respect as well, He is independent. Therefore, all those who make such claims are baseless, and Allah Almighty is pure from all such defects.
[83]
Rational Proof of Not Having a Son:
This is the second proof that Allah Almighty does not have offspring, and that proof is that everything that exists in this universe is the property of Allah, and offspring are not the property of their father. Therefore, it is impossible for Allah to have offspring. Thus, those who say such things say so without any proof, and they attribute to Allah things for which they will certainly be punished. In the few days of worldly life, let them say or do what they will, in the end, they will have to return to Us, and We will give them the full punishment for this polytheistic belief.
