Did you not know that Allah's is the kingdom of the skies and the earth, and (that), besides Allah, there is neither a guardian nor a helper for you?

2-104: O you who believe! do not say, “Listen to us,” but say, “Look at us and listen,” and for the infidels there is a painful punishment.

2-105: Neither those who are infidels from among the owners of the book nor the polytheists like that any good should be sent down upon you from your Fosterer, but Allah chooses for His mercy whomever He wills and Allah is the Possessor of great grace.

2-106: Whatever We abolish from Our signs (Divine revelations) or cause to be forgotten, We bring (something) better than it or like it. Did you not know that Allah has power over everything?

2-107: Did you not know that Allah’s is the kingdom of the skies and the earth, and (that), besides Allah, there is neither a guardian nor a helper for you?

2-108: Do you intend to question your messenger as Musa was questioned earlier? And anyone who seeks to exchange belief for infidelity, he has surely gone astray from the balanced way.

2-109: Many of the owners of the book wish to turn you to infidelity after your belief, out of envy on their part (and) after the truth having become clear to them, so pardon and overlook till Allah (comes out) with His command (in this regard), Allah certainly has power over everything.

2-110: And establish worship (salat) and give charity (zakat) and whatever good you send before for yourselves, you will find it with Allah, Allah is certainly the Seer of what you do.

2-111: And they say, “No one can ever enter the garden except he who is a Jew or a Christian.” This is their desire, say, “Bring your proof if you are truthful.”

2-112: Why not! whoever submits himself to Allah and he is a doer of good, then for him, his reward is with his Fosterer, and there will neither be any fear on them nor will they grieve.

The questions raised in Ayah 106 and 107 are asking if Humans did not know that Allah has power over everything, He can reveal a book to his chosen messenger(s) in our case Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) through communication means we Humans could not detect, except for whom it was intended to hear and record. He has the power to change what was revealed either by removing the revealed verses completely or by exchanging with some other verse that was better.

And to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ) belongs the Kingdom of the Skies and the Earth and the more Humans try to know about the universe the more they feel they are ignorant about how it functions. We have analyzed and estimated that the visible universe contains 2 Trillion Galaxies, but the universe is much bigger than that and scientists estimate that what we know of is <4% of the matter and energy contained in the universe. Hence, anything that is not proven by Revelation, such as, only Jews and Christians will enter paradise, to this Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ) replies and says that it is their desire and asks Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) to Say: “Bring your proof if you are truthful.”
