🏵️🏵️🏵️ The assertion that Allah has taken a son not only contradicts the fundamental tenet of Tawheed (the Oneness of Allah) but is directly addressed in the Quran. Surah Al-Baqarah (2:116) emphasizes, "Exalted is He! Rather, to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. All are His, and He is free from all partners." The concept of offspring is wholly inconsistent with the divine nature of Allah, who is independent and does not require progeny.
Furthermore, the Quran invites us to reflect on the attributes of Allah, highlighting that He is "the Eternal Refuge" (Surah Al-Ikhlas 112:2) and "neither begets nor is born" (Surah Al-Ikhlas 112:3). Hadith also teaches us to affirm the Oneness of Allah, rejecting any idea that suggests He shares His divine essence.
