(Or were they created out of naught) without a father; and it is also said: without a Lord? (Or are they the creators) rather than being the created?
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
Or were they created out of nothing? that is without a Creator. Or are they the creators? of themselves. It makes no sense for a created thing to have no creator nor can a thing that will cease to existent have the power to create. There must be a Creator of them and that is God the One so why do they not affirm His Oneness and believe in His Messenger and His Book?
