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
٤٩
So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires, but beware of them lest they seduce thee from some part of that which Allah hath revealed unto thee. And if they turn away, then know that Allah's Will is to smite them for some sin of theirs. Lo! many of mankind are evil-livers.

Chapter 5, Page 116, Juz 6

48. And unto thee have We revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it. So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires away from the truth which hath come unto thee. For each We have appointed a divine law and a traced-out way. Had Allah willed He could have made you one community. But that He may try you by that which He hath given you (He hath made you as ye are). So vie one with another in good works. Unto Allah ye will all return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ. 49. So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires, but beware of them lest they seduce thee from some part of that which Allah hath revealed unto thee. And if they turn away, then know that Allah's Will is to smite them for some sin of theirs. Lo! many of mankind are evil-livers. 50. Is it a judgment of the time of (pagan) ignorance that they are seeking? Who is better than Allah for judgment to a people who have certainty (in their belief)?
