(100) وَ جَعَلُوا لِلَّهِ شُرَكاءَ الْجِنَّ وَ خَلَقَهُمْ وَ خَرَقُوا لَهُ بَنِينَ وَ بَناتٍ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ سُبْحانَهُ وَ تَعالى عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
100. " And they set up the jinn associates with Allah, while He created them, and they falsely attributed to Him sons and daughters without knowledge. Glory be to Him, and highly Exalted is He above what they ascribe (to Him)."
Commentary :
Allah Is the Creator of All Things !
In this verse, and some verses next to it, the Qur'an points to a part of improper and superstitious beliefs of pagans and the believers of some wrong schools of thought, accompanied with a logical answer to them. At first, it says :
" And they set up the jinn associates with Allah, ..."
Then, the Qur'an answers to this superstitious imagination and, pointing to the creation of jinn, it says :
"... while He created them, ..."
How is it possible that a created being can be the associate of the Creator ? Association is the sign of being of the same class and in the same level, while a created creature can never be in the same level with the Creator.
Other supestition was that they believed in the existence of children for the Lord. The verse continues saying :
"...and they falsely attributed to Him sons and daughters without knowledge. ..."
In fact, the best reason for proving that these superstitious opinions are false is the same fact which can be understood from the phrase :"without knowledge". This means that they have no rational reason nor evidence for these superstitions.
The question is that which sects attributed sons to Allah. In some other verses, the Qur'an has mentioned two groups who towed that false idea. One of those two groups were Christians who believed Jesus was God's son. And the other was the Jews who believed Ezra was His son. But, Sura Taubah, No. 9, verse 30 denotes that the belief in the existence of son for the Lord was not allocated to the Christians and the Jews. This wrong idea had existed among the former people with superstitious schools of thought, too.
Now, what about the belief in the existence of daughters for the Lord ? In Sura Az-Zukhruf, No. 43, verse 19, the Qur'an itself says :
"And they make the angels who are the servants of the Beneficent (God) -female (divinities) ..."
But, at the end of the verse under discussion the Qur'an nulifies all these superstitious imaginations and these vain baseless fancies, and, by an expressive and clear sentence, it says :
"...Glory be to Him, and highly Exalted is He above what they ascribe (to Him)."
