Maryam

تَكَادُ السَّمَاوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ الاَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدّاً

أَن دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمَنِ وَلَداً

وَمَا يَنبَغِي لِلرَّحْمنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَداً

90. “At it the skies are about to burst, and the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down crashing.”
91. “That they attributed a son to the Beneficent (Allah).”
92. “When it is not worthy of the Beneficent (Allah) that He should take (to Himself) a son.”

The Arabic term /hadd/ means ‘to fall down’. Since the attribution of polytheism is a disagreeable attribution which contrasts to the principle of theism, it seems that the whole world of existence, which has been founded on the basis of theism, sinks into a horror and anxiety because of this undue attribution. Therefore, the Qur’an announces:

The horrible effect of this statement, that Allah has a child, is so great that it causes the mountains to fall down. Again, for a more emphasis, and stating the importance of the matter, the Qur’an says:

In fact, they have never known Allah; else they would have known that it is not consonant with the majesty of the Most Gracious that He should beget a son. The verse says:

A person may desire to have one or some children for one of the following things: It is either for the sake that the one needs to have reproduction for the duration of his seed; or he seeks for an assistant; or he is afraid of loneliness. But none of these concepts is meaningful about Allah. Neither His Power is limited; nor His life ends; nor any weakness or feebleness befalls Him, nor He feels loneliness and need.
