Reply to a Mockery — Page 89
Response to the booklet entitled Ilh a m i Girgit 89 interpretation that he explained to others, except such a one who is tainted in nature? He says: It must be remembered that God Almighty has no sons. He has no associate and no son; nor does anyone have the right to claim to be God or the son of God. However, this phrase is used here by way of allegorical and metaphorical expression. As for instance in the Holy Quran, God has said: ُدَي ِهّٰللا َقْوَف ْمِهْيِدْيَا The hand of Allah is over their hands. ( S u rah al-Fat h , 48:11) And has, thus, described His own hand as the hand of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, in the words: Allah’s hand was above their hands. He has also used the expression: 1 ْلُق َيِداَبِعٰي Say, ‘O you my servants’ instead of ِهّٰللا َ ْلُق یٰعِبَاد [Say, ‘O serv - ants of Allah’], and as He also said: اوُرُكْذاَف َهّٰللا ْمُكِرْكِذَك ْمُكَءٓاَبٰا 1. S u rah az-Zumar, 39:54
