the jews and the christians say we are allahs children and his beloved ones. ask them why then does he chastise you for your sins? you are the same as other men he has created. he forgives whom he wills and chastises whom he wills. and to allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. to him is the eventual return.
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
