Ayat 17.
Had We intended to take a pastime (i.e. a wife or a son, etc.), We could
surely have taken it from Us, if We were going to do (that).
Ayat 18.
Nay, We fling (send down) the truth (this Qur'an) against the falsehood
(disbelief), so it destroys it, and behold, it (falsehood) is vanished. And woe
to you for that (lie) which you ascribe (to Us) (against Allah by uttering that
Allah has a wife and a
son).
[Tafseer]
Not for (idle) sport did We create the heavens and
the earth and all that is between! The Hindu doctrine of Lila, that alt things were created for
sport, is here negative. But more: with Allah we must not associate any ideas
but those of Truth. Righteousness, Mercy, Justice, and the other attributes
implied in His Beautiful Names. He does not jest nor play with His
creatures. If it had been Our wish to take (just) a pastime, We should
surely have taken it from the things nearest to Us, if We would do (such a
thing)! If
such an idea as that of play or pastime had been possible with regard to Allah,
and if He had wished really to indulge in pastime, He would have done it with
creatures of Light nearest to Him, not with the lowly material creation that we
see around us. Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out
its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false)
things ye ascribe (to Us). Such as that (1) Allah has partners, or (2) that He has gotten a son, or
(3) has daughters, or any other superstitions derogatory to the dignity and
glory of
Allah.
Hazrat Anas (May
Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "When an infidel accomplishes
any good deed, he is rewarded for it in this world; and in the case of a Muslim,
Allah stores up his good acts for him in the Hereafter and provides him with
subsistence in this life due to his obedience.''
[Muslim Book 39,Chapter 11, Hadith #
6739]
Another narration is: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Allah does not
wrong a believer a good deed because he is given blessings for it in this world
and will be rewarded for it in the Hereafter. But the infidel is given in the
world the reward for good deeds, he has performed for the sake of Allah and when
he comes to the Hereafter, there is no good deed for which he can be rewarded".
[Muslim Book 39,Chapter 11, Hadith #
6740]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Anbiya' Ayat 16."We created not the
heavens and the earth and all that is between them for a (mere) play" The infidels also do in this world many
works which are for public welfare, or which come under the category of good
deeds. Almighty Allah gives them reward for such good deeds in this world in the
form of wealth, sound health, or saving them from some trouble, because Belief
is precondition for reward in the Hereafter. Since an infidel is deprived of it,
he will also be deprived of their reward in the Hereafter. Thus, we learn that
Belief constitutes the basis of every action and is a precondition for the
acceptance of any good deed by Allah.
