That punishment which is for you-O disbelievers-is because you used to be, when you were called to the monotheism of Allah and the sincerity of work for Him, you disbelieved in Him, and if a partner was made for Allah, you would confirm it and follow it. For Allah Glorified and Exalted be He is the Judge in His creation, the Just Who does not act unfairly, He guides whom He wills and misguides whom He wills, and has mercy on whom He wills and punishes whom He wills, no deity except Him Who for Him is the highness of Essence, measure, and coercion, and for Him is the pride and the greatness.
