And He purified Himself from the deficiencies they ascribe to Him, so He the Exalted said: {Glorified is your Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from what they ascribe.

The Shaykh :" And He purified Himself from the deficiencies they ascribe to Him, so He the Exalted said:

⁽¹⁸⁰⁾ Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe. ⁽¹⁸¹⁾ And peace upon the messengers. ⁽¹⁸²⁾ And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ وَسَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ* وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

[As-Saffat 37:180-182]

"
"Glorified is your Lord" means purifying Him (Mighty and Majestic) from everything that does not befit Him, including what they ascribe to Him, such as their saying that the angels are the daughters of Allah, and the like. means dominion, subjugation, and authority. Here, "Lord" must necessarily mean "Owner" and it is not permissible for us to interpret it as "Creator." We say "Creator of the heavens," but for "Lord of Majesty," we do not say "Creator of Majesty," because Majesty is one of the attributes of Allah, and the attributes of Allah are not created. Therefore, "Lord" here must necessarily mean "Owner." If someone asks: "Provide us with a linguistic proof from Arabic that 'Lord' can mean 'Owner,'" we say: This is common. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said regarding the lost camel: Who is meant by "Lord" here? Her owner, whether he is the owner, a lessee, a borrower, or otherwise. The important point is that here we must necessarily say "Lord of Majesty" meaning "Owner of Majesty," and it is not permissible to say "Creator," because Majesty is one of the attributes of Allah, and all the attributes of Allah are not created. "Peace upon the messengers" is peace upon the messengers because of the soundness of what they said, free from defect and deficiency; they did not say anything but the truth. He concluded this verse with praise, which indicates perfection.
" And He the Exalted said:

Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him].

مَا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ مِنْ وَلَدٍ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ إِلَهٍ إِذاً لَذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَهٍ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلا بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

[Al-Mu'minun 23:91]

" "Allah has not taken a son." The "min" is an extra particle for emphasis, meaning Allah has not taken a son for Himself. This is a refutation of three groups of the children of Adam, all of whom deviated from the straight path in this matter: the Jews, the Christians, and the polytheists. The Jews said, "Ezra is the son of Allah," the Christians said, "The Messiah is the son of Allah," and the polytheists said, "The angels are the daughters of Allah." So Allah the Exalted denied taking a son for Himself in response to these fabricators. He did not mention a proof in this verse for the negation of a son, but He mentioned it in other verses. In which verse? In Surat al-Ikhlas: This is also a ruling, but we want the proof that it is impossible for Him to have a companion. In Surat al-An'am, yes: How can He have a son? And there are other verses, but here He mentioned a rational proof in negating a partner. He said: So let us look: is the universe discordant or harmonious, with each part fitting with the others? The latter, without a doubt. If there were another god, each god would have taken away what he created; each one would have his own kingdom. And in that case, each one would necessarily want to be the sole king. So either they would confront each other, or one would triumph over the other. If they confronted each other, meaning each was incapable of the other, it would not be valid for them to be two gods, because the reason is incapacity; both would be incapable. And if one triumphed in elevation, the god would be one, so the matter returns to there being one god for the creation, and that is Allah (Mighty and Majestic). For this reason, He said: meaning purifying Allah from what these polytheists ascribe to Him.
