وَقَالَتِ الْیَهُوْدُ وَالنَّصٰرٰی نَحْنُ اَبْنٰٓؤُا اللّٰهِ وَاَحِبَّآؤُهٗ قُلْ فَلِمَ یُعَذِّبُكُمْ بِذُنُوْبِكُمْ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ بَشَرٌ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ یَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَیُعَذِّبُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا وَاِلَیْهِ الْمَصِیْرُ ۟

(Both) 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 (of all)"
