Surah Maryam — 19:35

مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٍ ۖ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥٓ ۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

Maa kaana lillaahi ai yattakhiza minw waladin Subhaanah; izaa qadaaa amran fa innamaa yaqoolu lahoo kun fa yakoon

it would not befit God to have a child. He is far above that: when He decrees something, He says only, ‘Be,’ and it is.

It is not for God to take a son. Glory be to him! When he decrees a matter, he only says to it, "Be," and it is.
