Ayat 26. And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten
a son (or children)." Glory to Him! They [those whom they call children of Allah
i.e. the angels, 'Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), 'Uzair (Ezra), etc.], are
but honored slaves.
Ayat 27.
They speak not until He has spoken, and they act on His Command.
Ayat 28.
He knows what is before them, and what is behind them, and they cannot
intercede except for him with whom He is pleased. And they stand in awe for fear
of Him.
Ayat 29. And if any of them should say: "Verily, I am an
ilâh (a god) besides Him (Allah)," such a one We should recompense with
Hell. Thus We recompense the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers,
etc.).
[Tafseer]
And they say: "((Allah)) Most
Gracious has begotten offspring." Glory to Him! they are (but) servants raised
to honour. This refers both to the Trinitarian superstition that Allah
has begotten a son, and to the Arab superstition that the angels were daughters
of Allah. All such superstitions are derogatory to the glory of Allah. The
prophets and angels are no more than servants of Allah: they are raised high in
honour, and therefore they deserve our highest respect, but not our
worship. They speak not before He speaks, and they act (in all things)
by His Command. They never say anything before they receive Allah's command
to say it, and their acts are similarly conditioned. He knows what is before them, and
what is behind them, and they offer no intercession except for those who are
acceptable, and they stand in awe and reverence of His
(Glory). "Acceptable" means that they have conformed to the Will of
Allah and obeyed His Law, thus winning the stamp of His
approval. They: the usual interpretation refers the pronoun to the servants
of Allah who intercede: it may also refer to those on whose behalf the
intercession is made: they do not take it as a matter of course, but stand in
due awe and reverence of Allah's great glory and
mercy. If any of them should say, "I am a
god besides Him", such a one We should reward with Hell: thus do We reward those
who do
wrong.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Do
you know who is the bankrupt?'' They said: "The bankrupt among us is one who has
neither money with him nor any property". He said, "The real bankrupt of my
Ummah would be he who would come on the Day of Resurrection with Salat, Saum and
Sadaqah (charity), (but he will find himself bankrupt on that day as he will
have exhausted the good deeds) because he reviled others, brought calumny
against others, unlawfully devoured the wealth of others, shed the blood of
others and beat others; so his good deeds would be credited to the account of
those (who suffered at his hand). If his good deeds fall short to clear the
account, their sins would be entered in his account and he would be thrown in
the (Hell) Fire".
[Muslim
Book 32, Chapter 13, Hadith #
6251]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Anbiya' Ayat 29."We should recompense
with Hell. Thus We recompense the Zalimun" This Hadith tells us that a Muslim has to take strict care
in the performance of obligations like prescribed Salat (prayers), Zakat, etc,
but he has to take similar care in his dealings, manners and morals. Salvation
lies in the proper fulfillment of all these requirements. Fulfillment of one at
the cost of the other will not be sufficient for
salvation.
