Verse 19

Table of Contents

    19. And they make the angels who themselves are servants of the Most Gracious [Allah] females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony [for superstitions] will be recorded and they will be questioned.

    All testimonies and words are recorded in the presence of Allah. Superstitious beliefs are to be severely suppressed. The blessed Verse reveals their unworthy and baseless words regarding their false beliefs according to which angels who are Allah’s servants are termed as His daughters.

    The Verse inquires:

    “Were they present at the time of their creation to witness the manner of their making and learn that they were male or female? Their false words and testimonies will be recorded soon and they will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection and will be chastised for their words and acts.”
