The Stern Rejection of attributing a Son to Allah
After Allah affirms in this noble Surah that `Isa was a worshipper and servant of Allah and He mentioned his birth from Maryam without a father, He then begins refuting those who claim that He has a son. Holy is He and far Exalted is He above such description. Allah says,
وَقَالُواْ اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَـنُ وَلَداً لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا
"And precisely calculated their numbers" - 19:94.
