Surah An'aam (6:101-103)

859 16 30
                                    

101. "To Him is due the primal origin of the Heavens and the Earth: How can He have a son when He has no consort? He created all things, and He has full knowledge of all things. 102. That is Allah, your Lord! there is no god but He, the Creator of all things: then worship Him: and He has power to dispose of all affairs. 103. No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things."

Explanation:
This passage has been extracted from the Noble Qur'ān, Chapter no. 06. These verses of Surah An'aam speak of the absolute Unity and Authority of Allah over the entire universe, He being the sole Creator, Sustainer, Cherisher, Master and Protector of everything. Hence, He alone is the exclusive worthy of worship.
Allah, the All-Mighty, creates on His own, devoid of any sort of external aid from any diety, thus, presenting the fact that the plan of His creation is all on account of His personal Will. The Qur'ān says;
"His are all things in the Heavens and on Earth...."(2:255)
Since everything is created by Allah alone, there is, by no chance, any question of He having a son. Even the pagan Quraish of early Makkan period, did not have the concept of Allah having a wife. However still, they believed Him to have daughters and sons. The religion Christianity proclaims Jesus Christ to be the son of Allah and other religions claim the Angels to be Allah's daughters. Chapter no. 112, i.e. Surah Al-Ikhlas, speaks in clear words of Allah being absolute, without any ancestor or descendant;
"He does not beget, nor is He begotten." (112:3)
Therefore, it is a derogation from the glory of Allah to say that he begets children; it would result in giving His superlative attributes to someone else too, even though in a lower degree, but nevertheless, that would be an immediate result to Shirk; which is ultimately an unpardonable sin, and an obstacle in the true meanings of Tawheed.
Allah the Al-Ghafoor's nature is so subtle, far beyond the limited vision of mortals, hence invisible to the eye of human beings. He is unfathomable to human perception or even thoughts. His presence, can however, only be felt through the majesty and magnificence of His Creation, how He made the Earth and the Heavens in eight days, as described in Surah Al-Fussilat, Chapter no. 41, also known as Ha-Mīm-As-Sajdah;
"Do you deny that God...Who created the Earth in two days? He indeed is the Lord of all creation. He set mountains over the Earth and bestowed blessings on it...This was done in four days. Then he turned to the Heavens...He said to the Heaven and the Earth: Come into being, whether you like it or not." They both said, "We do come in submission." Then in two days he made seven heavens, and in each heaven He ordained its law, and We ordened the lower heavens with lights and made it fully secure. Such js the design of the One, Who is All-Mighty, the All-Knowing. (41: 9-12)
Hence, Allah's presence can be seen in everything around us, in the mountains that lay, the rivers that flow, the plates that move, the Holy Book we recite, the sun that dawns, the volcanoes that errupt, the people who die and finally, the Day of Resurrection to occur.
Even though, we mortals cannot comprehend Him, He is aware of the hidden and the manifest, the present as well as the past and all that is beyond our perception. The Qur'ān says;
"It is He who knows what is open in speech and what ye hide in your hearts." (21:110)

Allah, therefore, is the Master of everything, possessing all that we see, and that we do not see, He is Allah, the Absolute, the Al-Rahman.
