لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۚ قُلْ فَمَنْ يَمْلِكُ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا إِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ الْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُ وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ۗ وَلِلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۚ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

They have only disbelieved who say, `Verily, Allâh - He is the Messiah, son of Mary.´ Say, `Who then had any power to stand in the way of Allâh when He intended to put an end to the Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and all those that were in the earth?´ And to Allâh belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between the two. He creates what He will, for He is the Possessor of full power to do all that He will.

In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things."
Ahmed Ali
Verily they are unbelievers who say: "The Messiah, son of Mary, is God." You ask them: "Who could prevail against God if He had chosen to destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and the rest of mankind?" For God´s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lies between them. He creates what He please, for God has the power over all things.

Say thou; who can avail in aught against Allah, if He intended to destroy Masih, son of Maryam, and his mother and thou on the earth altogether?

Say: "And who could have prevailed with God in any way had it been His will to destroy the Christ, son of Mary, and his mother, and everyone who is on earth - all of them? For, God's is the dominion over the heavens and the earth and all that is between them; He creates what He wills: and God has the power to will anything!"

Surely, in disbelief are they who say that Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary).

Muhammad Sarwar
Those who have said that the Messiah, son of Mary, is God, have, in fact, committed themselves to disbelief.

God creates whatever He wants and He has power over all things.

Commentary 5:17 Yuhlika يُهْلِك means, “to put an end to” or “to cause to die”. This verse is another argument that neither Jesus nor his mother is living on this earth…
لَّقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۚ قُلْ فَمَن يَمْلِكُ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا إِنْ أَرَادَ أَن يُهْلِكَ الْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُ وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا
5:17 Yuhlika يُهْلِك means, “to put an end to” or “to cause to die”. This verse is another argument that neither Jesus nor his mother is living on this earth or in heaven waiting to return. Mary died, so did Jesus. He was not made an exception to Mary. All those who consider Jesus to still alive in some form should know that he died like all Prophets. “And all those that were in the earth” وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًاdoes not mean all those human beings who are on the entire earth, but all his contemporaries (cf. 2:47). The Holy Qur’ân repeatedly rejects the divinity of Jesus and presents an argument that he died like any other human being (cf. 5:72-75). We read, “The Messiah, son of Mary was only a Messenger, all Messengers have passed away, and his mother was a highly truthful woman. They both used to eat food. See how we explain the arguments for their good; yet see how those (who believe that Jesus is living or was a son of god) are turned away from truth" (5: 75).
