The answer

It appears that the intended meaning of this phrase in this context is figurative, similar to the claim of the Jews and Christians (We are the children of Allah and His beloved ones). Therefore, the one who says it does not commit disbelief. It is obligatory to be respectful in speech when mentioning Allah Almighty, and to avoid ambiguous terms or those that might imply false meanings concerning Him, especially if they are a false slogan adopted by disbelievers and atheists.
