AHYA Multi-Media - QSEP

Comment: The Religion of Islam, as taught by the Messenger of
Allah rejects the pagan claim of Allah having a son or a
daughter, let alone the claim of someone to be Allah. “That is
because Allah, He is the Truth, and it is He Who gives life to the
dead, and it is He Who is Able to do all things.” 147

state of being Abd or worshiper), there are three meanings of the
