and to you we have revealed the book with the truth confirming the book that was revealed before it and a guardian over it. therefore give judgment among them in accordance to what allah has sent down and do not yield to their fancies from the truth that has come to you. we have ordained a law and a path for each of you. had allah willed he could have made you one nation but that he might try you by that which he has bestowed upon you. race with one another in good works to allah you shall all return and he will declare to you what you were at variance.
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
