( ما اتخذ الله من ولد وما كان معه من إله ) أي : من شريك ، ( إذا لذهب كل إله بما خلق ) أي : تفرد بما خلقه فلم يرض أن يضاف خلقه وإنعامه إلى غيره ، ومنع الإله الآخر من الاستيلاء على ما خلق . ( ولعلا بعضهم على بعض ) أي : طلب بعضهم مغالبة بعض كفعل ملوك الدنيا فيما بينهم ، ثم نزه نفسه فقال : ( سبحان الله عما يصفون )
Allah has not taken a child as the disbelievers claim, nor is there any true deity alongside Him. If there were to be any true deity alongside Him, every deity would take his share of the creation he made and they would dominate one another, causing the order of the Universe to become corrupt. The reality is that none of this has occurred, proving that the true deity is Allah alone. He is pure and holy of what the idolaters describe Him with, namely partners and children which are unbefitting for Him.
