Aya 18
18
وَقالَتِ اليَهودُ وَالنَّصارىٰ نَحنُ أَبناءُ اللَّهِ وَأَحِبّاؤُهُ ۚ قُل فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُم بِذُنوبِكُم ۖ بَل أَنتُم بَشَرٌ مِمَّن خَلَقَ ۚ يَغفِرُ لِمَن يَشاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشاءُ ۚ وَلِلَّهِ مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما ۖ وَإِلَيهِ المَصيرُ

Say the Jews and Christians, "Sons are we of God and his beloved." SAY: Why then doth he chastise you for your sins? Nay! ye are but a part of the men whom he hath created! He will pardon whom he pleaseth, and chastise whom he pleaseth, and with God is the sovereignty of the Heavens and of the Earth, and of all that is between them, and unto Him shall all things return.
