Al-Ma'idah 5:48 وانزلنا اليك الكتاب بالحق مصدقا لما بين يديه من الكتاب ومهيمنا عليه فاحكم بينهم بما انزل الله ولا تتبع اهواءهم عما جاءك من الحق لكل جعلنا منكم شرعة ومنهاجا ولو شاء الله لجعلكم امة واحدة ولاكن ليبلوكم في ما اتاكم فاستبقوا الخيرات الى الله مرجعكم جميعا فينبيكم بما كنتم فيه تختلفون ٤٨

5:48
وَأَنزَلۡنَآ
إِلَيۡكَ
ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ
بِٱلۡحَقِّ
مُصَدِّقٗا
لِّمَا
بَيۡنَ
يَدَيۡهِ
مِنَ
ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ
وَمُهَيۡمِنًا
عَلَيۡهِۖ
فَٱحۡكُم
بَيۡنَهُم
بِمَآ
أَنزَلَ
ٱللَّهُۖ
وَلَا
تَتَّبِعۡ
أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ
عَمَّا
جَآءَكَ
مِنَ
ٱلۡحَقِّۚ
لِكُلّٖ
جَعَلۡنَا
مِنكُمۡ
شِرۡعَةٗ
وَمِنۡهَاجٗاۚ
وَلَوۡ
شَآءَ
ٱللَّهُ
لَجَعَلَكُمۡ
أُمَّةٗ
وَٰحِدَةٗ
وَلَٰكِن
لِّيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ
فِي
مَآ
ءَاتَىٰكُمۡۖ
فَٱسۡتَبِقُواْ
ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِۚ
إِلَى
ٱللَّهِ
مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ
جَمِيعٗا
فَيُنَبِّئُكُم
بِمَا
كُنتُمۡ
فِيهِ
تَخۡتَلِفُونَ

Then We revealed the Book to you (O Muhammad!) with Truth, confirming whatever of the Book was revealed before,1 and protecting and guarding over it.2 Judge, then, in the affairs of men in accordance with the Law that Allah has revealed, and do not follow their desires in disregard of the Truth which has come to you. For each of you We have appointed a Law and a way of life.3 And had Allah so willed, He would surely have made you one single community; instead, (He gave each of you a Law and a way of life) in order to test you by what He gave you. Vie, then, one with another in good works. Unto Allah is the return of all of you; and He will then make you understand the truth concerning the matters on which you disagreed.4

48. Then We revealed the Book to you (O Muhammad!) with Truth, confirming whatever of the Book was revealed before, and protecting and guarding over it. Judge, then, in the affairs of men in accordance with the Law that Allah has revealed, and do not follow their desires in disregard of the Truth which has come to you. For each of you We have appointed a Law and a way of life. And had Allah so willed, He would surely have made you one single community; instead, (He gave each of you a Law and a way of life) in order to test you by what He gave you. Vie, then, one with another in good works. Unto Allah is the return of all of you; and He will then make you understand the truth concerning the matters on which you disagreed. 49. Therefore, judge bet-ween them (O Muhammad!) by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their desires, and beware lest they tempt you away from anything of what Allah has revealed to you. And if they turn away, then know well that Allah has indeed decided to afflict them for some of their sins. For surely many of them are transgressors. 50. (If they turn away from the Law of Allah) do they desire judgement according to the Law of Ignorance? But for those who have certainty of belief whose judgement can be better than Allah's?
