Surah Al-Ma'idah Ayah 18

Al-Ma'idah · Ayah 18 · Juz 6 · Page 111

وَقَالَتِ ٱلۡيَهُودُ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ نَحۡنُ أَبۡنَٰٓؤُاْ ٱللَّهِ وَأَحِبَّٰٓؤُهُۥۚ قُلۡ فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُم بِذُنُوبِكُمۖ بَلۡ أَنتُم بَشَرٞ مِّمَّنۡ خَلَقَۚ يَغۡفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَلِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۖ وَإِلَيۡهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ١٨

Wa qālatil-yahūdu wan-naṣārā naḥnu abnāʾullāhi wa aḥibbāʾuh, qul falima yuʿadhdhibukum bidhunūbikum, bal antum basharum mimman khalaq, yaghfiru limay yashāʾu wa yuʿadhdhibu may yashāʾ, walillāhi mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā baynahumā, wa ilayhil-maṣīr.

But the Jews and the Christians say, "We are the children of Allāh and His beloved." Say, "Then why does He punish you for your sins?" Rather, you are human beings from among those He has created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, and to Him is the [final] destination.
