CH. 23 then are you deluded?' 2571 AL-MU'MINÜN PT. 18 بَلْ آتَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَذِبُونَ ) 91. Yea, We have brought them the truth, and they are certainly liars. مَا اتَّخَذَ اللهُ مِنْ وَلَدِوَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ Allah has not taken unto. 92 الِهِ إِذَ الذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَهِ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا ;any other god along with Him بَعْضُهُمْ عَلى بَعْضٍ سُبْحَنَ اللهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ Himself any son, nor is there in that case beach god would have taken away what he had created, and some of them would surely have dominated over others. Glorified be Allah above all that which they attribute to Him!2572 عَلِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَتَعَلى عَمَّا Knower of the unseen and. 93 يُشْرِكُونَ ده of the seen! Exalted is He above all that which they associate with Him!2573 ª18:5; 19:36; 21:27; 25:3; 39:5; 43:82; 72:4. 21:23. 6:74; 32:7; 34:4; 59:23; 64:19. 2571. Important Words: (how) signifies whence; where; when; and how. In the present verse the word has been used in the sense of 'whence' and 'how. ' 2572. Commentary: In brief words the verse very effectively demonstrates the futility and falsity of the Christian dogma that Jesus is God's son. It purports to say that a son is needed by one to help him to carry on his affairs, but as God is the Creator of the heavens and the earth and the Sole Master and Controller of the whole universe, He does not need the help or assistance of any helper or son. Moreover, the whole universe appears to be subject to one uniform law and the unity of the design and purpose and control points to the Unity of the Designer and the Controller. The duality of control and authority implies confusion and disorder. See also 17:43 & 21:23. 2573. Commentary: The verse gives another argument against Jesus' godhead, viz. that the Creator and Controller of the universe must possess complete knowledge of His creation but Jesus himself confesses to his knowledge being defective and incomplete (Mark 13:32). 2234
