The Sons of the Lord God in the Bible (1)
The Bible says that the sons of the Lord God, the Almighty Creator, saw the daughters of men who were fair, beautiful and attractive and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
But the Bible does not tell the names of the sons of the Lord God,
The Bible also does not give the physical attributes of the sons of the Lord God. In addition, the Bible does not tell what the number of the sons of the Lord God was and how many they were?
In short, the Bible does not let us know who, how, when, where, how many etc. in respect to the sons of the Lord God.
On the other hand, the Bible gives some informative details about the sons of the kings of Judah, for example, but does not give any details about the Sons of the Lord God, the Almighty Creator, who are of course very much more important than the sons of the kings of Judah . The Quran makes it very clear and says that Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.

The Sons of the Lord God in the Quran (1)
The Quran firmly forbids saying that Allah has a son.
It is not befitting for the Majesty of Allah to take to Himself a son.
Just a son; just one son!
Glory is to Him, in affirmation of His being transcendent above doing such a thing.
Allah absolves Himself from taking a son or partner.
The herein mentioned verse is in the Surah 19 (Chapter 19) that is called “Mary”.
In this Surah, the Quran denies that the Lord Jesus is Allah’ son.
So, the verse says:
When Allah decrees a thing, that is, when He will for it to happen, He only says to it, ‘Be!’, and it is.
This means that when Allah wants to create a son without a father, He saith unto it only: Be! And it is a son without a father, just like the case of the Lord Jesus who has No Human father.
In Islam, this point is very important faith wise.
In a very simple word, Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.
In this world, there are a One Almighty Creator and many different creatures.
The One Almighty Creator is Allah or God or the Lord or Jehovah or whatever you name Him.
The many different creatures are man, animals, insects, plants, microbes, fungi, viruses, atoms, gases, water, liquids, metals, planets, stars etc.
To make it simple, man invents and creates many things like pen, book, chair, car, plane, computer etc. Herein, man is the creator of these creatures; nevertheless, can the pen for example claim that he is the son of man? Who would believe it?
The plain clear cut conclusion of this essential point that may establish or destroy the faith, from the Islamic point of view is that:
Anyone who believes that the Almighty Creator has a son or sons; he messes his faith up and is considered as a disbeliever and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the hell.
Anyone who believes that the Almighty Creator has no son and no partner; he has a good faith and is considered as a believer and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the paradise.

QARIB:
It is not for Allah to take a son! Exaltations to Him! When He decrees a thing he only says: ‘be and it is.
SHAKIR:
It beseems not Allah that he should take to himself a! Son, glory to be him; when he has decreed a matter he only says to it “be,” and it is
PICKTHAL:
It befitteth not (the majesty of) Allah that he should take unto himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decreeth a thing, he saith unto it only: be! and it is.
YUSUFALI:
It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that he should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, he only says to it, “be”, and it is.
