and we have sent down to thee the book with the truth confirming the book that was before it and assuring it. so judge between them according to what god has sent down and do not follow their caprices to forsake the truth that has come to thee. to every one of you we have appointed a right way and an open road. if god had willed he would have made you one nation but that he may try you in what has come to you. so be you forward in good works unto god shall you return all together and he will tell you of that whereon 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
