And ˹on Judgment Day˺ Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary! Did you ever ask the people to worship you and your mother as gods besides Allah?”
He will answer, “Glory be to You! How could I ever say what I had no right to say? If I had said such a thing, you would have certainly known it. You know what is ˹hidden˺ within me, but I do not know what is within You. Indeed, You are the Knower of all unseen.
I never told them anything except what You ordered me to say: ‘Worship Allah—my Lord and your Lord!’
And I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them. But when You took me, You were the Witness over them—and You are a Witness over all things.
If You punish them, they belong to You after all. But if You forgive them, You are surely the Almighty, All-Wise.”
Allah will declare, “This is the Day when the truthful will benefit from their truthfulness. Theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there forever and ever. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. That is the ultimate triumph.”
To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything within. And He is Most Capable of everything.
