This is a verse of the Koran, specifically the Holy Koran of the Prophets Ayat 25 and 26, where God addresses the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The verse highlights the fact that Allah sent no messenger unless He suggested to Him that only I am active, meaning "no God deserves worship except Allah".
The verse also refutes the idea that God had boys or offspring, as some people thought at the time. He asserts that angels, Jesus, are all honest slaves of God, not his children. This statement affirms God's unity and rejection of any association between partners or offspring with him, a fundamental belief in Islam.

Surat Anbiaa verset 25-سورة الأنبياء.
﴿ وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِي إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدُونِ﴾And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad SAW) but We inspired him (saying): La ilaha illa Ana [none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allah)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)."
Surat Anbiaa verset 26-سورة الأنبياء.
﴿ وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ وَلَدًا ۗ سُبْحَانَهُ ۚ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُونَ﴾And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son (or children)." Glory to Him! They [those whom they call children of Allah i.e. the angels, 'Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), 'Uzair (Ezra), etc.], are but honoured slaves.
Surat Anbiaa verset 27-سورة الأنبياء.
﴿ لَا يَسْبِقُونَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ وَهُم بِأَمْرِهِ يَعْمَلُونَ﴾
They speak not until He has spoken, and they act on His Command.
NB:
The phrase "do not speak until they speak and act" is a phrase involving obedience and subordination to God's absolute authority, and expressing or superior authority. It is suggested that those who follow this principle do not take action or speak until they receive direction or direction from a higher force, which is often interpreted as God or divine power.
