سُوْرَةُ الْفُرْقَانِ
Surah Al-Furqaan (25) — Ayah 2
ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ شَرِيكٌ فِى ٱلْمُلْكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ تَقْدِيرًا ﴿2﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Who has begotten no son (children or offspring) and for Whom there is no partner in the dominion. He has created everything, and has measured it exactly according to its due measurements.

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.
2. He is the One who owns the dominion [5] of the heavens and the earth, who has not taken a son, nor does He have any partner in His dominion. He created everything and determined it with precise measure [6].

Argument on Allah Not Having Offspring:
That is, the complete authority and control over the entire universe—in today's terms, sovereignty—is in His hands alone. And when this is accepted, all kinds of partners are automatically negated, because everything is owned by Allah and He is their Owner. And since a son is not owned, and we have already accepted that everything is owned by Allah, then any genealogical relationship with anyone is also automatically negated.
[6]
What is Allah’s Measure for Everything?
Allah Almighty has created everything, whether living or non-living, and then He has also assigned a function and set laws for each thing, which it cannot transgress. For example, there is no living being that does not have to face death. Everything that comes into existence will certainly perish at some point. It is not possible for water to start flowing upwards at any time, or for it to stop flowing downwards. Nor is it possible for fire to start giving coolness. You cannot feed a dog the finest and most abundant foods and make it reach the height of a horse. In short, Allah Almighty has set certain limits and functions for each thing. And this is Allah’s measure for everything.
