(29:21) He punishes whom He wills and has mercy upon whom He wills, and to Him you will be returned. (29:22) And you will not cause failure [to Allah] upon the earth or in the heaven. And you have not other than Allah any protector or any helper. (29:23) And the ones who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and the meeting with Him - those have despaired of My mercy, and they will have a painful punishment. (29:24) And the answer of Abraham`s people was not but that they said, "Kill him or burn him," but Allah saved him from the fire. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe. (29:25) And [Abraham] said, "You have only taken, other than Allah, idols as [a bond of] affection among you in worldly life. Then on the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse one another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will not have any helpers."
