and we have sent down the book unto thee with truth and confirming that which hath preceded it of the book and a guardian thereof. wherefrom judge thou between them by that which allah hath sent down and follow thou not away from that which hath their desires come to thee of the truth. unto each of you we appointed law and a way. and had allah listed he would have made you all a single community but he willed not in order that he may prove you by that which he hath vouchsafed unto you. hasten wherefore to the virtues unto allah is the return of you all then he shall declare unto you concerning that wherein ye 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
