Transliteration:( Am lahul banaatu wa lakumul banoon )
"Or, has He daughters, and you have sons [46]?"
The polytheists of Arabia falsely claimed that the angels were the daughters of Allah.
However, they disliked having daughters for themselves, and some even buried their daughters alive due to their shame.
This verse points out the contradiction in their beliefs: they attributed daughters to Allah, while in their own culture, daughters were seen as undesirable.
The verse highlights the illogical nature of their beliefs and refutes their false claims about Allah.
The tafsir of Surah Tur verse 39 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Tur ayat 35 which provides the complete commentary from verse 35 through 43.
(52:39) Or does Allah have daughters whereas you have sons?[30]
30. A detailed reasoning has been compressed into these brief sentences. It means to say: If you deny what the Prophet (peace be upon him) says, then what other means do you have to know the reality? Has any of you had access to the heavens where he found out directly from Allah or His angels that the beliefs on which you have based your religion are absolutely in accord with the reality? If someone makes this claim, he should come forward and tell as to when and how he had access to the heavens and what knowledge he has brought from there. If you do not make any such claim, then consider how ridiculous is your creed that you assign children to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and that too daughters, whom you regard as disgraceful for yourselves. Without knowledge you are wandering in the darkness of such errors and turning hostile to the person who brings to you the light of knowledge from God.
