The Holy Quran 3:129 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ يَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Translation

To Allaah belongs what is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth (everything is in His control and none can question Him). He pardons whoever He wills and punishes whoever He wills. (He does what He wants.) Allaah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful (no one can question Him).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, throughout the earth and the heavens the authority of the One Allah holds sway; all of it is His property and His creation. Whomever He deems fit, He grants the ability to believe and forgives, and whomever He wills, He seizes in punishment for disbelief.
