 the jews and the christians say we are sons of allah and his beloved. say why then doth he punish you for your sins? nay ye are but men of the men he hath created he forgiveth whom he pleaseth and he punisheth whom he pleaseth and to allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between and unto him is the final goal 
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
