“Are these sons for you and daughters [23] for Him?”
(Kanzul Imaan Translation)
✅ [23] The Polytheists' Hypocrisy
The polytheists called the angels daughters of Allah, yet despised having daughters themselves, even burying them alive. This verse exposes their hypocrisy, as they proposed to Allah what they themselves rejected. The rhetorical question, "Are you not mad?" highlights their irrational beliefs.
The tafsir of Surah Tur verse 21 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Tur ayat 19 which provides the complete commentary from verse 19 through 27.
(53:21) Shall you have the male issues, and He the female issues?[16]
16. That is, you held these goddesses as daughters of Allah, Lord of the worlds, and did not consider while inventing this absurd creed that as for yourselves you regarded the birth of a daughter as disgraceful, and desired to have only male children, but as for Allah you assign to Him only daughters.
