And when their claim that the angels are the daughters of Allah is a claim that is suitable for Him; and similar in the most specific attributes; which is divinity; and their worship of them is a realization of that; and this is more than mere polytheism in ignorance; it has been directed towards reprimanding and reproaching; as a warning about the manifestation of its corruption; connected to what has passed of the prohibition against polytheism by the conjunction of the cause with 'what'; after the resumption with the hamzah of denial; so it was as if it was said: do not do that as those who have exceeded in ignorance did; for they attributed to Him from His creation the least of the two parts; as has been mentioned in 'An-Nahl'; in His saying, 'And they make for Allah daughters' [An-Nahl: 57]; then they worshipped that part; while they do not accept it for themselves; then He turned to them addressing them with what indicates the culmination of anger; and He said: 'Did your Lord choose for you?' meaning: did He create the one who is good to you sons and daughters; so He chose for you kindness; while you are ungrateful to Him; 'with sons'; who are the best type of children; and 'and'; He did not do good to Himself by sharing with you in sons; rather 'He took'; He expressed it with the form of causation; because whoever turns to one of the two types; while being able to have the other; is only one who has a strong desire for what he has turned to; 'from the angels'; who are the closest of His servants; as children; then what was not enough for Him was the deficiency of offspring and the dealing with its causes; until He made what He took 'females'; and He was pleased for Himself - and He is your Creator, the Provider - with what you do not accept for yourselves; and you have reached in your dislike of it in some cases to killing; so He became a partner with you in daughters; specifying for you without it with sons? And that is contrary to your custom; for indeed servants are not preferred with the better; and the lesser is for the masters; and He first expressed with 'sons'; without 'males'; because the name of son is more pleasant to hear; pleasing to one who has been given glad tidings of it; without considering the outcome; and it may be a female of actions; and because the name of male is shared in meaning; and He expressed in the second with females; to convey the ease with the meaning of the word; and because they are daughters by equivalence; and it can be that the verse descends upon the ambiguity; so the estimation is: 'with sons; and He was pleased for Himself with daughters; and He specified you in your type which is the weakest of what can be with males; and He took from the angels - of whom some are capable of carrying the earth and turning its lower part to its upper part - females in the utmost ease; and for that reason He began the denial against them; magnifying that with His saying: 'Indeed, you say'; and He confirmed it; for what they have of negligence towards Him; and their audacity against Him; with His saying: 'a saying'; and He increased in that with His saying: 'great'; meaning: in ignorance and falsehood; against Him and against His angels; who do not disobey Him in what He commands them; and they do what they are commanded; so you attribute to Him children; while they are among the specific characteristics of bodies; then you prefer yourselves over Him; so you make for Him what you dislike.
