and unto thee have we vouchsafed this divine writ setting forth the truth confirming the truth of whatever there still remains of earlier revelations and determining what is true therein. judge then between the followers of earlier revelation in accordance with what god has bestowed from on high and do not follow their errant views forsaking the truth that has come unto thee. unto every one of you have we appointed a law and way of life. and if god had so willed he could surely have made you all one single community but in order to test you by means of what he has vouchsafed unto you. vie then with one another in doing good works! unto god you all must return and then he will make you truly understand all that on which you were wont to differ.
وأنزلنا إليك الكتاب بالحق مصدقا لما بين يديه من الكتاب ومهيمنا عليه فاحكم بينهم بما أنزل الله ولا تتبع أهواءهم عما جاءك من الحق لكل جعلنا منكم شرعة ومنهاجا ولو شاء الله لجعلكم أمة واحدة ولكن ليبلوكم في ما آتاكم فاستبقوا الخيرات إلى الله مرجعكم جميعا فينبئكم بما كنتم فيه تختلفون
