سورة الكهف، الآية ٤
وَيُنذِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَدًا ٤
wayundhira alladhīna qālū ittakhadha l-lahu waladan
And to warn those who say, "Allāh has taken a son."
Verse 4 of Surah Al-Kahf (18:4), a Meccan surah, is in juz 15, on page 293 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 73 reciters.
79 recitations by 73 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
And it frightens the Jews, Christians and some of the idolaters who said: Allah has taken a son.
and to warn those who say, “Allah has begotten a son3.”
[3] Such as the Jews and Christians, and the Arab pagans who claimed that angels are Allah’s daughters.
And to warn those (Jews, Christians, and pagans) who say, "Allâh has begotten a son (or offspring or children)."
And to warn those who say: Allah hath chosen a son,
Further, that He may warn those (also) who say, "Allah hath begotten a son":
And warn those who say: Allah has taken a son.
And to warn the ones who have said, " Allah has taken to Him a child."
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
قَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَدًا سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِنْ عِندَكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ بِهَٰذَآ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
They have said, "Allāh has taken a son." Exalted is He; He is the [one] Free of need. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. You have no authority for this [claim]. Do you say about Allāh that which you do not know?
