Allah replied: 'I am sending one to you. But whoever of you
disbelieves hereafter shall be punished as no man has ever been
punished.'
Then Allah will say: 'Isa, son of Mariam, did you ever say to
mankind: “Worshipme andmymother as gods besideAllah?” '
'Glory to You,' he will answer, 'how could I say that to which I have
no right? If I had ever said so, You would have surely known it. You
know what is in my mind, but I cannot tell what is in Yours. You alone
know what is hidden. I spoke to them of nothing except what You bade
me. (I said): “Serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord.” I watched over
them whilst living in their midst, and ever since You took me to You,
YouYourself have been watching over them. You are the witness of all
things. If You punish them, they surely are Your servants; and if You
forgive them, surelyYou areMighty,Wise.'
Allah will say: 'This is the day when their truthfulness will benefit
the truthful. They shall for ever dwell in gardens watered by running
streams. Allah is pleased with them and they with Him. That is the
supreme triumph.'
To Allah belongs the control over the heavens and the earth and all
that they contain. He has power over all things.
