يَلِدْ (yalid)He begets

 Let’s break down the word يَلِدْ (yalid) — a short but extremely powerful word, especially in the context of Surah Al-Ikhlāṣ:

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ
“He neither begets nor is born.” (Surah Al-Ikhlāṣ, 112:3)

🔍 Word Breakdown: يَلِدْ

Part	Arabic	Meaning
يَـ	Prefix (present tense marker)	"He" or "does"
لِدْ	Root verb (وَلَدَ)	To give birth / beget

👉 So يَلِدْ means:

“He begets” or “He gives birth”

But in the verse لَمْ يَلِدْ, it becomes:

❌ “He did not beget”
The لَمْ is a negation in the past tense.

🧬 Root: و-ل-د (w-l-d)

This root is related to:

• Giving birth

• Producing offspring

• Being born

From this root, you get:

Word	Meaning
وَلَد	Child / boy
وِلَادَة	Birth
يُولَدُ	Is born (passive form)

🧠 Deeper Meaning in Surah Al-Ikhlāṣ:

لَمْ يَلِدْ = He did not beget
وَلَمْ يُولَدْ = Nor was He begotten

These lines negate any concept of Allah having:

• Children (like sons or daughters)

• Parents (a beginning or creator)

This is a direct refutation of human-like attributes to God — central to Tawḥīd (Islamic monotheism).
