They indeed are disbelievers those who say, 'Allahu ta’ālā is the Messiah, son of Mary', insofar as they make him [Jesus] a god, and these were the Jacobites, a Christian sect. Say: 'Who then can do anything, [who then can] defend, against, the chastisement of, Allahu ta’ālā if He desires to destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and all those who are on earth?', that is to say, none can do anything of the sort, since if Jesus were a god, he would be able to do so. And to Allahu ta’ālā belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He will. Allahu ta’ālā has power over everything, which He wills.
