سُوْرَةُ الزُّخْرُفِ
Surah Az-Zukhruf (43) — Ayah 15
وَجَعَلُوا۟ لَهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ جُزْءًا ۚ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَكَفُورٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿15﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Yet, they assign to some of His slaves a share with Him (by pretending that He has children, and considering them as equals or co-partners in worship with Him). Verily, man is indeed a manifest ingrate!

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.
15. Yet they have made some of His servants a part [14] of Him. Surely, man is clearly ungrateful.
[14] These were Allah's favors upon His servants; what should have been is that man, in return for these favors and blessings of Allah, would be grateful and acknowledge His kindness. But not only did he show ingratitude towards Allah, he went even further in his wrongdoing by dividing up His essence and attributes, and made various things partners and equals to Him in His essence and attributes. He declared that Allah has children, even though Allah is the Creator and Owner of everything, while children are neither created nor owned. Children are of the same kind and a part of the parent. In this way, they divided the essence of Allah, the Most Glorified, into several parts.
