Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (Do you have the males and He has the females)
Then Allah the Exalted said, rebuking these polytheists: [Surat al-Najm: 21] Meaning: Do you assign the males to yourselves and the females to Allah?! And that is in their saying: The angels are the daughters of Allah, and they did not witness the creation of the angels nor were they informed of that,As Allah the Exalted said: [Surat al-Zukhruf: 19]
And
No, they did not witness their creation,But despite that, this testimony will be written against them: [Surat al-Zukhruf: 19] We ask Allah for well-being.
What did they do when one of them was informed of the birth of a female? [Surat al-Nahl: 58-59] And yet, they assign daughters to the Lord of the Worlds, who created the male and the female, and assign sons to themselves. Is this division a division of justice or a division of injustice? It is a division of injustice. [Surat al-Najm: 22] Meaning: That division, which is that they assign daughters to Allah and sons to themselves, is (an unjust division) meaning: one that is unjust and deviates from the truth;Because if we said: If it were permissible for Allah to have a child, it would be more fitting for Him to have sons; because sons are higher than daughters without doubt, and He (Glorified and Exalted is He) is higher than the created beings. Therefore, the higher should be for the higher and the lower for the lower, if there were to be a just division.
Then there is another division lower than that in justice, but it contains justice: that they assign daughters to Allah and daughters to themselves, and sons to Allah and sons to themselves, but they did not do this; they assigned the lower to the Creator and the higher to themselves,And for this reason, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: [Surat al-Najm: 22] .
Then Allah the Exalted said, rebuking these polytheists:
Is the male for you and for Him the female?
أَلَكُمُ الذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ الْأُنْثَىAnd they have made the angels, who are servants of the Most Merciful, females. Did they witness their creation?
وَجَعَلُوا الْمَلائِكَةَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَادُ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَاثاً أَشَهِدُوا خَلْقَهُمْAnd
No, they did not witness their creation,But despite that, this testimony will be written against them:
Their testimony will be recorded and they will be questioned.
سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ وَيُسْأَلونَWhat did they do when one of them was informed of the birth of a female?
his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief. (59) He hides himself from the people because of the ill of which he has been informed
ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُ مُسْوَدّاً وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ * يَتَوَارَى مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ سُوءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِThat, then, is an unjust division.
تِلْكَ إِذاً قِسْمَةٌ ضِيزَىThen there is another division lower than that in justice, but it contains justice: that they assign daughters to Allah and daughters to themselves, and sons to Allah and sons to themselves, but they did not do this; they assigned the lower to the Creator and the higher to themselves,And for this reason, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
