5:18

And saidthe Jewsand the ChristiansWe (are)(the) children(of) Allahﱇﱈand His belovedSayThen why(does He) punish youﱌﱍfor your sinsNayyou (are)human beingsfrom among (those)ﱒﱓHe createdHe forgives[for] whomHe willsand punisheswhomﱙﱚHe willsAnd for Allah(is the) dominion(of) the heavensand the earthand whateverﱠﱡ(is) between themand to Him(is) the final return(18)

The Jews and the Christians each say, “We are the children of Allah and His most beloved!” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Why then does He punish you for your sins? No! You are only humans like others of His Own making. He forgives whoever He wills and punishes whoever He wills. To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between. And to Him is the final return.”

5:19

O People of the Book! Our Messenger has indeed come to you, making things clear to you after an interval between the messengers so you do not say, “There has never come to us a deliverer of good news or a warner.” Now there has come to you a deliverer of good news and a warner. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.
