The Gross Blasphemy
10:68 They said, “GOD has begotten a son!” Be He glorified. He is the Most Rich. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. You have no proof to support such a blasphemy. Are you saying about GOD what you do not know?
10:69 Proclaim: “Those who fabricate lies about GOD will never succeed.”
10:70 They get their temporary share in this world, then to us is their ultimate return, then we commit them to severe retribution for their disbelieving.
In verse 10:68 what is the relation with God not having a son, having to do with God being “Most Rich”?
To many having children is a sign of wealth. God is stating that to Him belongs everything that He does not need to beget a son as a sign of wealth.
10:69 does the succeed mean only in the Hereafter?
