And He is the Incomprehensible, the All- Aware. 846 Commentary: a40:63. 13:17; 39:63. 22:64; 67:15. After making a reference to man- made teachings, the Quran proceeds to give Divine teachings. There are only two ways by which one can have a son, either by a wife or by adoption. As for the first way, God has no spouse, so He cannot have a son. Christians call Jesus the son of God, but they do not call Mary the consort of God. If, however, Jesus was the son of God by adoption, then that does not entitle him to a higher spiritual status than other human beings, for any other man might as well have been adopted by God as His son. Again, as God is the Creator of everything and possesses perfect knowledge, He does not stand in need of a son. 845. Commentary: God, being the Creator of all things and being Guardian over them, can alone be the true Deity. If there is anything which He has not created or of which He is not the guardian, then He cannot be perfect. 907 846.
