Qur'an 5:17
“
In blasphemy indeed are those that say that God is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against God, if He wished to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all those on the earth? For to God belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For God hath power over all things."
