وَقَالَتِ And said waqālati the Jews l-yahūdu and the Christians wal-naṣārā We (are) naḥnu (the) children abnāu (of) Allah l-lahi and His beloved wa-aḥibbāuhu Say qul Then why falima (does He) punish you yuʿadhibukum for your sins bidhunūbikum Nay bal you (are) antum human beings basharun from among (those) mimman He created khalaqa He forgives yaghfiru [for] whom liman He wills yashāu and punishes wayuʿadhibu whom man He wills yashāu And for Allah walillahi (is the) dominion mul'ku (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi and whatever wamā (is) between them baynahumā and to Him wa-ilayhi (is) the final return l-maṣīru
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.
