Ayah 6:12, Allah has prescribed for Himself mercy as a bounty
Say O Muhammad, to the disbelievers:
Unto whom belonge whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth of created beings?
If they answer you, fine;
If not, Say: Unto Allah belongs the creation of the heavens and the earth.
Unto Allah belongs everything; He has prescribed for Himself mercy as a bounty from Him for the believers in deferring His punishment.
Allah will bring all human beings together to the Day of Judgement whereof there is no doubt.
In other word, Allah will surely gather you together on the Day of Resurrection of which there is no doubt, no uncertainty, in order to requite you for your deeds.
Those who ruin their own souls and will not believe in Allah, Muhammad and the Quran were the losers; they lost their dwellings, servants and spouses in Paradise.
In other words, the disbelievers have forfeited their own souls by exposing them to the chastisement and by preventing them from entering Paradise.
Ayah 6:13, The disbeliever of Mecca tried to bribe Muhammad to stop proclaiming Islam and becomes idolater like them.
Thereafter, the disbelievers of Mecca went to the Messenger Muhammad and said to him: ‘O Muhammad, we know that it is need that drives you to that which you were inviting us. We will therefore give you part of our wealth so that you become the richest man amongst us, on condition that you aband hateon this matter,
“O Muhammad, revert to our religion (idols) and we shall make you rich, marry you, give you status and make you king over us”.
And then this verse (6:13) was revealed”. It says:
And to Allah belongs whatsoever and everything present or rest in the night and the day. He is the Hewerer of what is said, the Knower of what is done and of the provisions of all created beings.
