Surah An Najm Tafseer

Refuting the Claim of the Idolators that the Angels are Allah's Daughters

Allah the Exalted admonishes the idolators,

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُوْمِنُونَ بِالاْخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ الْمَلَيِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ الاُْنثَى

Verily, those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names.

Allah the Exalted admonishes the idolators for calling the angels female names and claiming that they are Allah's daughters. Allah is far removed from what they ascribe to Him.

Allah the Exalted said in another Ayah,

وَجَعَلُواْ الْمَلَـيِكَةَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَادُ الرَّحْمَـنِ إِنَـثاً أَشَهِدُواْ خَلْقَهُمْ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَـدَتُهُمْ وَيُسْـَلُونَ

And they make females the angels, who themselves are servants of the Most Gracious. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned! (43:19)
