[Maidah 5:18] The Jews and the Christians said, �We are the sons of Allah and His beloved ones�; say, �Why does He then punish you for your sins? In fact you are human beings, part of His creation; He forgives whomever He wills, and punishes whomever He wills; and for Allah only is the kingship of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them - and towards Him is the return.�

[Maidah 5:19] O People given the Book(s)! Indeed this Noble Messenger (Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) of Ours has come to you, revealing to you Our commands, after the Noble Messengers had stopped arriving for ages, for you might claim, �Never did any Harbinger of Glad Tidings or Herald of Warning come to us� - so this Harbinger of Glad Tidings and Herald of Warning has come to you; and Allah is Able to do all things.

Section 4

[Maidah 5:20] And when Moosa said to his people, �O my people! Remember Allah�s favour upon you, that He created Prophets among you, and made you kings, and has now given you what He has not given to any one else in this world.�

[Maidah 5:21] �O my people! Enter the holy land which Allah has decreed for you and do not turn back, for you will turn back as losers.�

[Maidah 5:22] They said, �O Moosa! In it lives a very strong nation - and we shall never enter it, until they have gone away from there; so when they have gone away from there, we will enter it.�

[Maidah 5:23] So two men who were among those who feared Allah and whom Allah had favoured said, �Enter upon them by force, through the gate; if you enter the gate, victory will be yours; and depend only upon Allah, if you have faith.�
