Knowing Allah
#Lord of all the worlds
The Arabic word for Lord, Rubb, conveys a number of meanings that are not accurately captured by the English word Lord. It means that He is the one who owns, who creates, who sustains and who looks after all that exists.
The only relationship between Him and all creation is that He is the creator of all that exists. He cannot therefore be the father of anyone in any real sense!
To say that He is the Creator and yet the father of some of His creation is a contradiction in terms. You don’t create your child, you beget him.
It is because of this that the Quran keeps reminding those who claim that God has children (the Arabs who used to say that the angels are the daughters of God, the Christians who say that #Jesus is the son of #God, and a Jewish sect who used to believe that Ezra is the son of God) that God is the Creator and Owner of everything.
