It befits not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son [this refers to the slander of Christians against Allah, by saying that 'Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah].

أَسمِع بِهِم وَأَبْصِر يَومَ يَأْتُونَنَا لَكِنِ الظَّالِمُونَ اليَومَ فِي ضَلاَل ٍ مُبِين ٍ

How clearly will they (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) see and hear, the Day when they will appear before Us! But the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) today are in plain error.
