00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:03.620
A verse and its Tafsir.

00:00:03.620 --> 00:00:07.549
Allah the Exalted says:

00:00:07.549 --> 00:00:13.550
“And to warn those who say: Allah hath chosen a son,” (18:4)

00:00:13.550 --> 00:00:18.339
The intended meaning here refers to the polytheists.

00:00:18.339 --> 00:00:22.339
Those who claim that the angels are the daughters of Allah.

00:00:22.339 --> 00:00:25.339
And they said, "The Most Merciful has taken a son."

00:00:25.339 --> 00:00:28.339
Rather, they are honored servants.

00:00:28.339 --> 00:00:31.440
The intended meaning is not the Christians.

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.539
Those who said, "The Messiah is the son of Allah."

00:00:34.539 --> 00:00:40.890
This is because the Meccan Qur'an did not address the refutation of the People of the Scripture.

00:00:40.890 --> 00:00:44.890
The text between the parentheses is the words of Ibn 'Ashur.
