39 Preface أَم لَهُ البَناتُ وَلَكُمُ البَنونَYusuf AliOr has He only daughters1 and ye have sons?Cf. 16:57-59, and n. 2082. To the gospel of Unity it is repugnant to assign begotten sons or daughters to God. But the Arab superstition about angels being the daughters of God was particularly blasphemous as the Pagan Arabs hated to have daughters themselves and considered it a mark of humiliation! (see also 53:21).
