we have sent down the book to you with the truth fulfilling revealed in the previous scriptures and determining what is true therein and as a guardian over it. judge therefore between them by what god has revealed and do not follow their vain desires turning away from the truth that has come to you. to every one of you we have ordained a law and a way and had god so willed he would have made you all a single community but he did not so will in order that he might try you by what he has given you. vie then with one another in doing good works to god you shall all return then he will make clear to you about what you have been disputing.
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
