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.
و اين كتاب را به راستى بر تو نازل كرديم؛ تصديق‌كننده و حاكم بر كتابهايى است كه پيش از آن بوده‌اند. پس بر وفق آنچه خدا نازل كرده است در ميانشان حكم كن و از پى خواهشهاشان مرو تا آنچه را از حق بر تو نازل شده است واگذارى. براى هر گروهى از شما شريعت و روشى نهاديم. و اگر خدا مى‌خواست همه شما را يك امت مى‌ساخت. ولى خواست در آنچه به شما ارزانى داشته است بيازمايدتان. پس در خيرات بر يكديگر پيشى گيريد. همگى بازگشتتان به خداست تا از آنچه در آن اختلاف مى‌كرديد آگاهتان سازد.
