Surah An-Nahl — Ayah 57 (16:57)

English translation (Saheeh International)

And they attribute to Allāh daughters¹ - exalted is He - and for them is what they desire [i.e., sons].

1. - By claiming that the angels are His daughters.

Brief commentary

The idolaters attribute daughters to Allah and they believe that these are the angels. Thus they attribute lineage to Allah and select for him what they do not like for themselves. He is Pure, Glorified and Sanctified from what they assign to Him. They assign for themselves the male offspring that they desire. What crime is greater than this?!
