Al-Ma'idah 5:49 وان احكم بينهم بما انزل الله ولا تتبع اهواءهم واحذرهم ان يفتنوك عن بعض ما انزل الله اليك فان تولوا فاعلم انما يريد الله ان يصيبهم ببعض ذنوبهم وان كثيرا من الناس لفاسقون ٤٩

5:49
وَأَنِ
ٱحۡكُم
بَيۡنَهُم
بِمَآ
أَنزَلَ
ٱللَّهُ
وَلَا
تَتَّبِعۡ
أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ
وَٱحۡذَرۡهُمۡ
أَن
يَفۡتِنُوكَ
عَنۢ
بَعۡضِ
مَآ
أَنزَلَ
ٱللَّهُ
إِلَيۡكَۖ
فَإِن
تَوَلَّوۡاْ
فَٱعۡلَمۡ
أَنَّمَا
يُرِيدُ
ٱللَّهُ
أَن
يُصِيبَهُم
بِبَعۡضِ
ذُنُوبِهِمۡۗ
وَإِنَّ
كَثِيرٗا
مِّنَ
ٱلنَّاسِ
لَفَٰسِقُونَ

So [Prophet] judge between them according to what God has sent down. Do not follow their whims, and take good care that they do not tempt you away from any of what God has sent down to you. If they turn away, remember that God intends to punish them for some of the sins they have committed: a great many people are lawbreakers.

Chapter 5, Page 116, Juz 6

48. We sent to you [Muhammad] the Scripture with the truth, confirming the Scriptures that came before it, and with final authority over them: so judge between them according to what God has sent down. Do not follow their whims, which deviate from the truth that has come to you. We have assigned a law and a path to each of you. If God had so willed, He would have made you one community, but He wanted to test you through that which He has given you, so race to do good: you will all return to God and He will make clear to you the matters you differed about. 49. So [Prophet] judge between them according to what God has sent down. Do not follow their whims, and take good care that they do not tempt you away from any of what God has sent down to you. If they turn away, remember that God intends to punish them for some of the sins they have committed: a great many people are lawbreakers. 50. Do they want judgement according to the time of pagan ignorance? Is there any better judge than God for those of firm faith?

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
