His word: أَفَنَجْعَلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَالْمُجْرِمِينَ ("Should We then treat the Muslims like the criminals?"). The Exalted, whose praise is mentioned, says: Should We then — O people — in My honor and My favor in the Hereafter, treat those who submitted themselves to Me through obedience, and humbled themselves before Me through servitude, and bowed low before My command and My prohibition — like the criminals who acquired sins, committed acts of disobedience, and contradicted My command and My prohibition? By no means! Allah will not do such a thing.
