Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 43 Az-Zukhruf, Ayat 19-19

وَجَعَلُوا الۡمَلٰٓـئِكَةَ الَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ عِبَادُ الرَّحۡمٰنِ اِنَاثًا​ ؕ اَشَهِدُوۡا خَلۡقَهُمۡ​ ؕ سَتُكۡتَبُ شَهَادَتُهُمۡ وَيُسۡـئَـلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿43:19﴾

(43:19) They claim that angels, who are Allah's chosen servants,18 are females. Did they witness how their body is constituted?19 Their testimony shall be written and they shall be called to account.


Notes

18. That is, who are free from this that they should be males or females.

19. Another translation can be: Were they present at the time of their creation?
