In the Quran

بَدِيعُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لَهُۥ وَلَدٌۭ وَلَمْ تَكُن لَّهُۥ صَٰحِبَةٌۭ ۖ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍۢ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌۭ

(وہی) آسمانوں اور زمین کا پیدا کرنے والا (ہے) ۔ اس کے اولاد کہاں سے ہو جب کہ اس کی بیوی ہی نہیں۔ اور اس نے ہر چیز کو پیدا کیا ہے۔ اور وہ ہر چیز سے باخبر ہے

The Originator of the heavens and the earth! How can He have a child, when there is for Him no consort, when He created all things and is Aware of all things?
