The Holy Quran 21:26 — Surah Al-Anbya

Arabic text

وَقَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَلَدًا ۗ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ ۚ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُونَ

Translation

They (the Mushrikeen) say, "Ar Rahmaan has taken children (for Himself)." He is Pure (from needing children)! They (the angels whom they say are Allaah's children) are but honourable slaves (of Allaah and one's children can obviously not be one's slaves).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Allah has no son: some tribes of Arabia used to call the angels of Allah the daughters of Allah. So it was made clear that it does not befit the lofty majesty of Allah to take sons and daughters. This also refutes the Christians, who call the Masih (Messiah) ﵇ “the son of Allah”, as well as that sect of the Jews which used to call Uzayr ﵇ the son of Allah.
