📖 Commentary of Surah Al-An’aam – Verse 101

"The Originator of the heavens and the earth, how could He have a son when there is no companion [222] for Him, and He has created everything [223] and He is knowledgeable of everything?"


The Creator Has No Need for a Companion or Offspring [222]

True children are born through women, hence Bibi Hawwa (عليها السلام) was not a daughter of Hazrat Adam (عليه السلام) but created from him. She was given to him in marriage. Children must be of the same kind—humans give birth to humans. Thus, the Creator’s “child” cannot be a creation, making such claims illogical and false.


Creation Can Never Be the Offspring of the Creator [223]

Allah is the creator of everything, and creation cannot be His offspring. This also teaches that humans are not creators of their own deeds—Allah creates the actions, and humans are merely the doers. This reinforces divine omnipotence over all that exists.

Ibn-Kathir

101. He is the Badi` (Originator) of the heavens and the earth. How can He have children when He has no wife He created all things and He is the All-Knower of everything.


Meaning of Badi`

﴿بَدِيعُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ﴾

(He is the Badi` of the heavens and the earth) Meaning He originated, created, invented and brought them into existence without precedence, as Mujahid and As-Suddi said. This is why the word for innovation – Bid`ah – comes from it, because it is something that did not have a precedence.

﴿أَنَّى يَكُونُ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَّهُ صَـحِبَةٌ﴾

(How can He have children when He has no wife) for the child is the offspring of two compatible spouses. Allah does not have an equal, none of His creatures are similar to Him, for He alone created the entire creation. Allah said;

﴿وَقَالُواْ اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَـنُ وَلَداً – لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْئاً إِدّاً ﴾

(And they say: “The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son.” Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing.) ﴿19:88-89﴾, until,

﴿وَكُلُّهُمْ ءَاتِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَـمَةِ فَرْداً ﴾

(And everyone of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection.)﴿19:95﴾.

﴿وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ وهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ﴾

(He created all things and He is the All-Knower of everything.) He has created everything and He is All-Knower of all things. How can He have a wife from His creation who is suitable for His majesty, when there is none like Him How can He have a child then Verily, Allah is Glorified above having a son.

(6:101) He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have a son when He has had no mate? And He has created everything and He has full knowledge of all things.

Ala-Maududi

(6:101) He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have a son when He has had no mate? And He has created everything and He has full knowledge of all things.


There is no commentary by Abul Maududi available for this verse.

(101) [He is] Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He does not have a companion [i.e., wife] and He created all things? And He is, of all things, Knowing.
