and we have revealed to you the book in truth confirming that which preceded it of the scripture and as a criterion over it. so judge between them by what allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. to each of you we prescribed a law and a method. had allah willed he would have made you one nation but to test you in what he has given you so race to good. to allah is your return all together and he will inform you concerning that over which you used 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
