Commentary

آیت 40 اَفَاَصْفٰىكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بالْبَنِيْنَ وَاتَّخَذَ مِنَ الْمَلٰۗىِٕكَةِ اِنَاثًایہ اہل عرب کے اس عقیدے کا جواب ہے کہ فرشتے اللہ کی بیٹیاں ہیں۔ یہ لوگ بیٹوں پر فخر کرتے تھے اور بیٹیوں کو اپنے لیے باعث عار سمجھتے تھے۔ ان کی اسی سوچ کی بنیاد پر ان سے سوال کیا گیا ہے کہ جس چیز کو اپنے لیے عار سمجھتے ہو اسے آخر کس منطق کے مطابق اللہ سے منسوب کرتے ہو ؟
