mankind was once a single community so god sent prophets to them as bearers of good tidings and warning and sent down with them the book containing the truth so that he might judge between their disputes. it was only those to whom it was given who disagreed about it after clear signs had come to them because of rivalry between them. god by his will guided the believers to the truth about which the others had disputed. god guides whom he will to a straight path.
كان الناس أمة واحدة فبعث الله النبيين مبشرين ومنذرين وأنزل معهم الكتاب بالحق ليحكم بين الناس فيما اختلفوا فيه وما اختلف فيه إلا الذين أوتوه من بعد ما جاءتهم البينات بغيا بينهم فهدى الله الذين آمنوا لما اختلفوا فيه من الحق بإذنه والله يهدي من يشاء إلى صراط مستقيم
