The Holy Quran 16:57 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ ٱلْبَنَـٰتِ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ ۙ وَلَهُم مَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

Translation

They (the Mushrikeen like Banu Khuraiza) ascribe daughters to Allaah (by saying that the angels are Allaah's daughters). Allaah is Pure (from needing family) ! Yet they (choose to) have for themselves what they desire (sons). (Allaah highlights the selfishness of the Mushrikeen who loved to have sons for themselves, yet they ascribe daughters to Allaah.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
