Ayat 5. No knowledge have they of
such a thing, nor had their fathers. Mighty is the word that comes out of their
mouths [i.e. He begot (took) sons and daughters]. They utter nothing but a
lie.
[Tafseer] The warning is not only needed for those who
deny Allah or deny His Message, but also for those whose
false ideas of Allah degrade religion in supposing that
Allah begot a son, for Allah is One and is High above any ideas of physical reproduction. The attribution of a son "begotten" to Allah has
no basis in fact or in reason. It is only a "word" or
"saying" that issues out of their mouths. It is not even a dogma that is reasoned out or can be explained in any way that is consistent
with the sublime attributes of
Allah.
Hazrat Ubadah bin
As-Samit (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: e Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "He who bears witness that there is no true god except Allah,
alone having no partner with Him, that Muhammad [SAWW] is
His slave and His Messenger, that `Isa (Jesus) is His slave and Messenger and he
(Jesus) is His Word which He communicated to Maryam (Mary) and His spirit which
He sent to her, that Jannah is true and Hell is true; Allah will make him enter
Jannah accepting whatever deeds he accomplished".
[Muslim Book 01, Chapter
11, Hadith #
043].
Another narration in
Muslim is: e Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Whosoever testifies that there is no true god except Allah
and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah , Allah
(SWT) saves him from the Fire (of Hell)".
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Kahf Ayat 04. "And to warn those
(Jews, Christians, and pagans) who say, "Allah has begotten a son (or offspring
or children)." This Hadith confirms
that all Prophets of Allah were men and thus refutes those who attribute
divinity to them and exclude them from the category of men or regard them a part
of Allah, as Christians believes Prophet `Isa (Jesus to be Christ) by regarding
him Allah or His son, or the Jews do Prophet `Uzair by venerating him as son of
Allah. The misconception has also taken hold of a sect of the Muslims. They have
invented the belief that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is "Light from the Light of
Allah". Thus further considering to be of him with Divine qualities. They
exclude him from the category of men. This Hadith tells us that the belief that
Prophets were men constitutes part of Faith and denial of it is the denial of a
part of Faith and amounts to evasion from Tauhid - Oneness of Allah.
Prophet `Isa (Jesus) has been referred in the
Qur'an as "Kalimatullah" (the Word of Allah) (4:171). What these words really
mean is that he was born in an unusual manner, without being fathered by anyone,
only on the express fiat of Allah. This Hadith
shows that a major sin does not cast a Muslim out of the fold of Islam, as is
believed by certain deviant sects who have gone astray. Such a person does
remain a Muslim and his eligibility for admission into Jannah also remains
intact but his admission entirely depends on the pleasure of Allah. He may
forgive a sinful Muslim and send him to Jannah even in the initial stage or keep
him in Hell for sometime and then send him to Jannah. Thus, when it is said that
Muslims are protected against Hell, it means that they will not abide in Hell
for ever. It will be a temporary phase varying with his sins. When that
punishment comes to an end, or even before it, when Almighty, Allah, wills, he
will be removed from Hell to Jannah.
