Surah Az Zukhruf Tafseer
Tafseer of Az-Zukhruf : 81
Saheeh International
Say, [O Muhammad], "If the Most Merciful had a son, then I would be the first of [his] worshippers."
Ibn Kathir
Tafseer 'Ibn Kathir' (EN)
Allah has no Offspring Allah says:
Allah says,
قُلْ
Say, -- (`O Muhammad') --
إِن كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَنِ وَلَدٌ فَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْعَابِدِينَ
If the Most Gracious had a son, then I am the first of the worshippers.
meaning, `if this were so, then I would worship Him on that basis, because I am one of His servants; I obey all that He commands me and I am not too arrogant or proud to worship Him.'
This conditional phrase does not mean that what is described could happen nor that is possible as Allah says:
لَّوْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَداً لاَّصْطَفَى مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَأءُ سُبْحَـنَهُ هُوَ اللَّهُ الْوَحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ
Had Allah willed to take a son, He could have chosen whom He willed out of those whom He created. But glory be to Him! He is Allah, the One, the Irresistible. (39:4).
Allah says here:
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
