Surah Al-Isra • Ayah 40

Refutation of Those Who claim that the Angels are Daughters of AllahAllah 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:أَفَأَصْفَـكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِالْبَنِينَ(Has then your Lord preferred for you sons,) meaning, has He given only you sonsوَاتَّخَذَ مِنَ الْمَلَـئِكَةِ 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. That is indeed a division most unfair! Allah says:وَقَالُواْ اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَـنُ وَلَداً - لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْئاً إِدّاً - تَكَادُ السَّمَـوَتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ الاٌّرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدّاً - أَن دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمَـنِ وَلَداً - وَمَا يَنبَغِى لِلرَّحْمَـنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَداً - إِن كُلُّ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ إِلاَّ آتِى الرَّحْمَـنِ عَبْداً - لَّقَدْ أَحْصَـهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدّاً - وَكُلُّهُمْ ءَاتِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَـمَةِ فَرْداً (And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a child." Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing. Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins. That they ascribe a son child to the Most Beneficent. But it is not suitable for (the majesty of) the Most Beneficent that he should beget a child. There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Beneficent as a servant. Verily, He knows each one of them, and has counted them a full counting. And every one of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection.) (19:88-95)

مجرمانہ سوچ پر تبصرہ ٭٭ملعون مشرکوں کی تردید ہو رہی ہے کہ یہ تم نے خوب تقسیم کی ہے کہ بیٹے تمہارے اور بیٹیاں اللہ کی۔ جو تمہیں ناپسند جن سے تم جلو کڑھو بلکہ زندہ درگور کر دو انہیں اللہ کے لیے ثابت کرو۔ اور آیتوں میں بھی ان کا یہ کمینہ پن بیان ہوا ہے کہ «وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَلَدًا * لَّقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْئًا إِدًّا * تَكَادُ السَّمَاوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ الْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا * أَن دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَلَدًا * وَمَا يَنبَغِي لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا * إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِلَّا آتِي الرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَبْدًا * لَّقَدْ أَحْصَاهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا * وَكُلُّهُمْ آتِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَرْدًا» ‏ [19-مريم:88-95] ‏ یہ کہتے ہیں رب رحمان کی اولاد ہے حقیقتاً انکا یہ قول نہایت ہی برا ہے بہت ممکن ہے کہ اس سے آسمان پھٹ جائے، زمین شق ہو جائے، پہاڑ چورا چورا ہو جائیں کہ یہ اللہ رحمان کی اولاد ٹھہرا رہے ہیں حالانکہ اللہ کو یہ کسی طرح لائق ہی نہیں۔ زمین و آسمان کی کل مخلوق اس کی غلام ہے۔ سب اس کے شمار میں ہیں اور گنتی میں اور ایک ایک اس کے سامنے قیامت کے دن تنہا پیش ہونے والا ہے۔صفحہ نمبر4699

آیت 40 اَفَاَصْفٰىكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بالْبَنِيْنَ وَاتَّخَذَ مِنَ الْمَلٰۗىِٕكَةِ اِنَاثًایہ اہل عرب کے اس عقیدے کا جواب ہے کہ فرشتے اللہ کی بیٹیاں ہیں۔ یہ لوگ بیٹوں پر فخر کرتے تھے اور بیٹیوں کو اپنے لیے باعث عار سمجھتے تھے۔ ان کی اسی سوچ کی بنیاد پر ان سے سوال کیا گیا ہے کہ جس چیز کو اپنے لیے عار سمجھتے ہو اسے آخر کس منطق کے مطابق اللہ سے منسوب کرتے ہو ؟

After having described details of the injunctions appearing above, it was said in the last verse: كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهُ عِندَ رَ‌بِّكَ مَكْرُ‌وهًا (That which is evil, of all these, is detestable in the sight of your Lord - 38).As for what has been forbidden in the said injunctions, their repugnance is obvious. But, within these there are some commandments where rights of parents and relatives have been enjoined or fulfillment of promises has been made mandatory. Here too, the purpose is to avoid doing the opposite of it, like hurting parents, breaking off from relatives and going back on solemn promises. Since all these things are haram or reprehensible, therefore, it has been called 'makruh' in a general sense of 'detestable' which includes the haram and makruh both. (Bayan al-Qur an)NoteThe injunctions described in the fifteen verses cited above are, in a way, the explanation of the effort acceptable in the sight of Allah mentioned in: وَسَعَىٰ لَهَا سَعْيَهَا (and makes effort for it as due - 19). There it was said that not every effort is acceptable with Allah. Instead, the effort made in accordance with the Sunnah and teaching of the Holy Prophet ﷺ is the only one acceptable with Him. Main divisions of such acceptable effort have been mentioned in these injunctions which take up the rights of Allah first and then the rights of the servants of Allah.A gist of Torah in fifteen versesSayyidna ` Abdullah ibn ` Abbas ؓ said that the commandments of the entire Torah have been reduced to fifteen verses of Surah Bani Isra'il.
