مَا
كَانَ
لِلَّهِ
أَن
يَتَّخِذَ
مِن
وَلَدٍ
سُبْحَانَهُ
إِذَا
قَضَى
أَمْرًا
فَإِنَّمَا
يَقُولُ
لَهُ
كُن
فَيَكُونُ
mā kāna li-llāhi ʾan yattakhidha min waladin subḥānahū ʾidhā qaḍā ʾamran fa-ʾinnamā yaqūlu lahū kun fa-yakūnu
It is not for Allah to take a son. Immaculate is He! When He decides on a matter, He just says to it, ‘Be!’ and it is.
— Ali Quli Qarai
It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.
