Surah Zukhruf ayat 15 Tafsir Quran 43:15

﴿وَجَعَلُوا لَهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ جُزْءًا ۚ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَكَفُورٌ مُّبِينٌ﴾
[ الزخرف: 15]

43:15 But they have attributed to Him from His servants a portion. Indeed, man is clearly ungrateful.

And they assign to Him from among His own servants a part when they say that the angels are God’s daughters — for a child is a part of its parent — even though the angels are like them servants of His exalted be He. Man such as the one who says the above-mentioned words is verily a manifest ingrate one whose ungratefulness is manifest and clear.

Yet they -the infidels- have incorporated with Him some of His servants as objects of worship and considered them His integral part; indeed man is ungrateful, blasphemous and profane

(43:15) Yet they have made some of His servants a part of Him. *15 Indeed man is most evidently thankless.

But they have attributed to Him from meaning

*15) " To make part of Allah " implies declaring a servant of Allah His offspring, for an offspring inevitably is homogeneous with and a part of the father's body, and regarding somebody as Allah's son or daughter means that he or she is being made a partner in Allah's Being.
Besides, another form of making a creature a part of Allah is that it should be regarded as possessor of the attributes and powers as are specifically Allah's own, and it should be invoked under the same concept, or rites of worship performed before it, or its sanctities observed and regarded as imperative and binding, for in that case man divides divinity and providence between Allah and His servants and hands over a part of it to the servants.

 

( And they allot to Him ) they ascribe to Him ( a portion of His bondmen ) i.e. the angels! They claimed, i.e. Banu Malih, that the angels were Allah’s daughters. ( Lo! Man ) i.e. the Banu Malih ( is verily a mere ingrate ) a disbeliever in Allah whose disbelief is quite apparent.

Yet they assign to some of His slaves a share with Him (by pretending that He has children, and considering them as equals or co-partners in worship with Him). Verily, man is indeed a manifest ingrate!
