Say-O Messenger-to these polytheists: "To whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is in them?" Say: "It belongs to Allah as you acknowledge that and know it, so worship Him alone." Allah wrote upon Himself mercy so He does not hasten the punishment upon His servants. He will surely gather you to the Day of Resurrection in which there is no doubt for reckoning and recompense. Those who associated partners with Allah have destroyed themselves, for they do not unify Allah, and do not confirm His promise and His threat, and do not acknowledge the prophethood of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
