say the jews and christians we are the sons of god and his beloved ones. say why then does he chastise you for your sins? no you are mortals of his creating he forgives whom he will and he chastises whom he will. for to god belongs the kingdom of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them to him is the homecoming.
وقالت اليهود والنصارى نحن أبناء الله وأحباؤه قل فلم يعذبكم بذنوبكم بل أنتم بشر ممن خلق يغفر لمن يشاء ويعذب من يشاء ولله ملك السماوات والأرض وما بينهما وإليه المصير
