The Holy Quran 23:91 — Surah Al-Mu'minun

Arabic text

مَا ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٍ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُۥ مِنْ إِلَـٰهٍ ۚ إِذًا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَـٰهٍۭ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ ۚ سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Translation

Allaah has not taken any son, nor are there any Aaliha (gods of worship) with Him. If there were (others sharing power with Him), then every Ilaah would have separated his creation (so that only he should have control over them) and some would overpower the others (in the fight for supremacy. This would have resulted in the system of the universe being reduced to chaos. However, since the universe is functioning smoothly, it follows that such a scenario did not occur). Allaah is Pure of the partners that they ascribe to Him (Only He is in control and is therefore the only One worthy of worship).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Observable proofs of tawhid (the oneness of Allah): that is, He alone is the sole Owner and Disposer of the earth and the heavens and of every speck; He needs neither a son nor a helper, nor has He any partner in His rule and sovereignty possessing independent authority over even a single speck.
