Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah'?" He will say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours; truly, ."(You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden (and unseen Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allah) did command me to say:" 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'.

But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. Mark 11:25-26
