Had Allahu ta’ālā wanted to take a son - as they allege [that He has], 'The Compassionate One has taken [to Himself] a son' [Q. 19:88], He could have chosen from what He has created whatever He wished, and taken it as a child, instead of the angels whom they claim to be Allah’s daughters, or [their claim] that 'Ezra is the son of Allahu ta’ālā', or that 'Jesus is the son of Allahu ta’ālā' [cf. Q. 9:30]. Glory be to Him, in exaltation of Him as being above that He should take a child. He is Allahu ta’ālā, the One, the All-Compelling, over all His creatures.
