(God’s Messenger to the Jews,
Christians and Muslims)
The Jews and the Christians said, “We are God’s children and His beloved.” Say, “Why then does He punish you for your sins? You are just humans like the other humans He created.” He forgives whomever He wills and punishes whomever He wills. To God belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, and to Him is the final destiny.
وَقالَتِ اليَهودُ وَالنَّصٰرىٰ نَحنُ أَبنٰؤُا۟ اللَّهِ وَأَحِبّٰؤُهُ قُل فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُم بِذُنوبِكُم بَل أَنتُم بَشَرٌ مِمَّن خَلَقَ يَغفِرُ لِمَن يَشاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشاءُ وَلِلَّهِ مُلكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما وَإِلَيهِ المَصيرُ
