English Translation
18The Jews and the Christians said: "We are the children of Allah and His beloved ones." Say: "Then why does Allah punish you for your sins?" No, you too are human beings whom Allah has created. Allah forgives those who deserve it and punishes those who deserve it. All authority over the heavens and the earth and all that is between them belongs to Allah. And in the end, the return is to Him.
