(5:17) Ingrates are those who have said, "Indeed, Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary. Say, "Who (has such) power (to) oppose Allah in any way, if he wishes to destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and all who are on earth?" And Allah (has) power over the universe, the earth, and what is in between. He creates what He wills. And Allah has power over being.
