Surah Yunus 10:68

Allah is Far Above taking a Wife or having Children

Allah criticizes those who claim that He has,

(...begotten a son. Glory is to Him! He is Rich (Free of all needs).) He is Greater than that and above it. He is Self-Sufficient, free of want or need of anything. Everything else is in desperate need of Him,

(His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth.) So how can He have a son from what He has created Everything and everyone belongs to Him and is His servant.

(No warrant have you for this) Meaning, you have no proof for the lies and falsehood that you claim,

(Do you say against Allah what you know not.) This is a severe threat and a firm warning. Similarly, Allah threatened and said:

(And they say: "The Most Gracious has begotten a son." Indeed you have brought forth a terribly evil thing. Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins, that they ascribe a son to the Most Gracious. But it is not suitable for the Most Gracious that He should beget a son. There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Gracious as a servant. Verily, He knows each one of them, and has counted them a full counting. And everyone of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection.) (19:88-95) Then Allah warned the liars that fabricated the claim that He has begotten a son. He warned that they will not succeed, never prospering in this world or in the Hereafter. In this world Allah will lead them, step-by-step, to their ruin. He will give them respite and put up with them for a while. He will allow them to have little enjoyment,

(then in the end We shall oblige them to (enter) a great torment.)(31:24) As Allah said here:

((A brief) enjoyment in this world!) meaning, only a short period,

(and then unto Us will be their return) on the Day of Resurrection;

(Then We shall make them taste the severest torment because they used to disbelieve. ) meaning, `We shall make them taste the painful punishment because of their Kufr and lies about Allah.'

Allah menjelaskan kepada kaum Muslimin bahwa orang-orang Yahudi, Nasrani, dan orang-orang musyrik mengatakan bahwa Allah mempunyai anak, seperti kepercayaan orang-orang Yahudi bahwa Uzair anak Allah, kepercayaan orang-orang Nasrani bahwa Isa Al-Masih putera Allah, dan orang-orang musyrik menduga bahwa para malaikat itu anak perempuan Allah. Allah menyangkal anggapan-anggapan dan tuduhan-tuduhan mereka. Bagaimana mungkin tuduhan-tuduhan itu dapat dibenarkan sebab Dialah Yang Maha mencipta, memiliki, dan berkecukupan, bahkan langit, bumi, dan benda-benda yang ada di antaranya adalah ciptaan-Nya. Dialah Yang Menguasai, Allah tidak memerlukan semua benda yang ada, malahan sebaliknya mereka itulah yang memerlukan Allah. Apabila manusia memerlukan anak, memang sudah sepantasnya, sebab anak itulah yang melanjutkan keturunan dan menjadi kebanggaannya. Akan tetapi Allah tidak memerlukan anak sebab Dialah yang menciptakan manusia dan keturunan-nya.

Allah menandaskan bahwa orang-orang Ahli Kitab dan orang-orang musyrik yang beranggapan demikian itu, tidak mempunyai alasan sedikitpun untuk membuktikan kebenaran anggapannya, bahkan anggapan itu hanyalah menunjukkan kebodohan mereka sendiri. Itulah sebabnya maka Allah menyatakan di akhir ayat ini, bahwa mereka menyatakan sesuatu yang mereka sendiri tidak tahu kebenarannya, itulah suatu kebodohan besar. Apalagi setelah mereka mendapat keterangan dari wahyu yang dibacakan, dan mereka masih tetap mempertahankan anggapannya, hal ini menunjukkan kebebalan mereka. Dari ayat ini dapat diambil pelajaran bahwa orang yang mengatakan sesuatu tanpa mempunyai alasan adalah menunjukkan kepada kebodohan sendiri.
