Transliteration:( Maa lakum kaifa tahkumoon )
156. This means; 'Oh you foolish people! How stupid you are! Every person deserves boys to perpetuate his progeny and for support in his old age and not daughters'. Allah forbid! If Allah Almighty had a need for any children, why would he choose daughters instead of sons,so as to perpetuate progeny through them and who would be of help to Him in times of difficulties. This verse does not mean that boys are good and girls are evil, as was being said by the polytheists of Arabia.
