Translation of the meanings Ayah: (58) Surah: An-Nahl
وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِٱلۡأُنثَىٰ ظَلَّ وَجۡهُهُۥ مُسۡوَدّٗا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٞ
(58) [3316]Whenever one of them is given the news of a female ˹newborn˺, his face stays clouded over while stifling ˹it up˺!
[3316] This is yet another probing glimpse into the heathen way of life they used to lead; how they considered female posterity, which is a blessing from God, such bad news. But also to highlight, using their own line of logic, their utter disregard for God Almighty when they ascribe what they least like to Him (cf. Ibn Taymiyyah, Majmūʿ al-Fatāwā, 3: 302).
