Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. Say: Who then can do aught against Allah, if He had willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? Allah's is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He createth what He will. And Allah is Able to do all things.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things."

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى مخبرا وحاكما بكفر النصارى في ادعائهم في المسيح ابن مريم - وهو عبد من عباد الله ، وخلق من خلقه - أنه هو الله الحكم بكفر النصارى ، تعالى الله عن قولهم علوا كبيرا .

ثم قال مخبرا عن قدرته على الأشياء وكونها تحت قهره وسلطانه : ( قل فمن يملك من الله شيئا إن أراد أن يهلك المسيح ابن مريم وأمه ومن في الأرض جميعا ) أي : لو أراد ذلك ، فمن ذا الذي كان يمنعه ؟ أو من ذا الذي يقدر على صرفه عن ذلك؟

ثم قال : ( ولله ملك السماوات والأرض وما بينهما يخلق ما يشاء ) أي : جميع الموجودات ملكه وخلقه ، وهو القادر على ما يشاء ، لا يسأل عما يفعل ، لقدرته وسلطانه ، وعدله وعظمته ، وهذا رد على النصارى عليهم لعائن الله المتتابعة إلى يوم القيامة .
