Tafsir of 17:40
Refutation of Those Who claim that the Angels are Daughters of Allah Allah refutes the lying idolators who claim, may the curse of Allah be upon them, that the angels are the daughters of Allah. They made the angels, who are the servants of Ar-Rahman (the Most Beneficent), females, and called them daughters of Allah, then they worshipped them. They were gravely wrong on all three counts. Allah says, denouncing them: أَفَأَصْفَكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِالْبَنِينَ (Has then your Lord preferred for you sons,) meaning, has He given only you sons وَاتَّخَذَ مِنَ الْمَلَئِكَةِ إِنَاثًا (and taken for Himself from among the angels daughters) meaning, has He chosen for Himself, as you claim, daughters Then Allah denounces them even more severely, and says: إِنَّكُمْ لَتَقُولُونَ قَوْلاً عَظِيمًا (Verily, you indeed utter an awful saying.) meaning, in your claim that Allah has children, then you say that His children are female, which you do not like for yourselves and may even kill them by burying them alive.…
