CRITICAL: Full phrase required, never softened. The Qur’an states directly that Allah ‘neither begets nor is begotten’ (112:3), making this the single most theologically confrontational phrase in the whole curriculum. Do not substitute a servant/prophet euphemism to reduce offense — doctrinal content must be preserved, with pastoral framing handled in surrounding teaching material, not by changing the term itself.
