men belonged to a single community and god sent them messengers to give them happy tidings and warnings and sent the book with them containing the truth to judge between them in matters of dispute but only those who received it differed after receiving clear proofs on account of waywardness among them. then god by his dispensation showed those who believed the way to the truth about which they were differing for god shows whom he please the path that is straight.
كان الناس أمة واحدة فبعث الله النبيين مبشرين ومنذرين وأنزل معهم الكتاب بالحق ليحكم بين الناس فيما اختلفوا فيه وما اختلف فيه إلا الذين أوتوه من بعد ما جاءتهم البينات بغيا بينهم فهدى الله الذين آمنوا لما اختلفوا فيه من الحق بإذنه والله يهدي من يشاء إلى صراط مستقيم
