And for someone to be His son negates Allah the Exalted being Self-Sufficient and totally unconcerned with any need. This is because Allah the Exalted would have a son only when that Holy Being would become incapable Himself of doing some task. For example, due to His being Just, He cannot bestow sal- vation upon anyone. Therefore, He developed the need—as the Christians believe—that He should have a Son who could enable salvation to be granted. Or, He had a Son because He developed the need to satisfy His sensual desires or He had a Son for the reason that He developed the need to find an heir. 1. The Originator of the heavens and the earth! How can He have a son when He has no consort, and when He has created everything and has knowledge of all things? ( S u rah al-An‘ a m, 6:102) [Publisher] 2. They say, ‘Allah has taken unto Himself a son. ’ Holy is He! He is Self- Sufficient. To Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatso- ever is in the earth. You have no authority for this. Do you say against Allah what you know not? ( S u rah Y u nus, 10:69) [Publisher]
