The Third Aspect: In Sura al-Ikhlas the apparent meaning of,He begets not, nor is He begotten(112:3) is self-evident and obvious, hence another meaning is intended which is necessitated by it. That is to say, Almighty God states extremely clearly and self-evidently “He begets not, nor is He begotten,” meaning: “Anyone who has a father and mother cannot be a god,” and, “pre-eternal and post-eternal,” to deny the divinity of Jesus (UWP), and of Uzayr, and the angels, and stars, and other false gods. It is just the same with our example, the verse, “The All-Glorious Provider, your object of worship, does not require sustenance for Himself, you were not created to provide Him with food” means: “Things with the ability to receive sustenance and food cannot be gods and objects of worship,” meaning: “Beings that are in need of sustenance and being provided for are not worthy of worship.”
