وَلَو شاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَهُم أُمَّةً واحِدَةً وَلـٰكِن يُدخِلُ مَن يَشاءُ في رَحمَتِهِ ۚ وَالظّالِمونَ ما لَهُم مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصيرٍ
Had God willed, He could’ve made them one community, but He admits into His mercy whom He wills. The wrongdoers have no protector or helper.
أَمِ اتَّخَذوا مِن دونِهِ أَولِياءَ ۖ فَاللَّهُ هُوَ الوَلِيُّ وَهُوَ يُحيِي المَوتىٰ وَهُوَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ
Or have they taken protectors other than Him? God alone is the Protector. He gives life to the dead, and He is over all things capable.
وَمَا اختَلَفتُم فيهِ مِن شَيءٍ فَحُكمُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ ذٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبّي عَلَيهِ تَوَكَّلتُ وَإِلَيهِ أُنيبُ
In any matter of dispute, the final decision rests with God. “This is God, my Lord. Upon Him I have relied, and to Him I turn.”
فاطِرُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۚ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِن أَنفُسِكُم أَزواجًا وَمِنَ الأَنعامِ أَزواجًا ۖ يَذرَؤُكُم فيهِ ۚ لَيسَ كَمِثلِهِ شَيءٌ ۖ وَهُوَ السَّميعُ البَصيرُ
The Creator of the heavens and the earth, has made for you mates from your own kind, and pairs of livestock, by which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.
لَهُ مَقاليدُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۖ يَبسُطُ الرِّزقَ لِمَن يَشاءُ وَيَقدِرُ ۚ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ عَليمٌ
To Him belong the controls of the heavens and the earth. He extends provision for whomever He wills, and restricts. He is fully aware of everything.
شَرَعَ لَكُم مِنَ الدّينِ ما وَصّىٰ بِهِ نوحًا وَالَّذي أَوحَينا إِلَيكَ وَما وَصَّينا بِهِ إِبراهيمَ وَموسىٰ وَعيسىٰ ۖ أَن أَقيمُوا الدّينَ وَلا تَتَفَرَّقوا فيهِ ۚ كَبُرَ عَلَى المُشرِكينَ ما تَدعوهُم إِلَيهِ ۚ اللَّهُ يَجتَبي إِلَيهِ مَن يَشاءُ وَيَهدي إِلَيهِ مَن يُنيبُ
He ordained for you the same religion He enjoined upon Noah, and what We revealed to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: “Uphold the religion, and don’t be divided within it.” What you call the polytheists to is difficult for them. God chooses for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back.
وَما تَفَرَّقوا إِلّا مِن بَعدِ ما جاءَهُمُ العِلمُ بَغيًا بَينَهُم ۚ وَلَولا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَت مِن رَبِّكَ إِلىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى لَقُضِيَ بَينَهُم ۚ وَإِنَّ الَّذينَ أورِثُوا الكِتابَ مِن بَعدِهِم لَفي شَكٍّ مِنهُ مُريبٍ
They didn’t become divided until after knowledge had come to them, out of mutual envy. If not for a prior decree from your Lord, judgment would’ve been issued between them. Those who were made to inherit the Scripture after them are in troubling doubt concerning it.
فَلِذٰلِكَ فَادعُ ۖ وَاستَقِم كَما أُمِرتَ ۖ وَلا تَتَّبِع أَهواءَهُم ۖ وَقُل آمَنتُ بِما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ مِن كِتابٍ ۖ وَأُمِرتُ لِأَعدِلَ بَينَكُمُ ۖ اللَّهُ رَبُّنا وَرَبُّكُم ۖ لَنا أَعمالُنا وَلَكُم أَعمالُكُم ۖ لا حُجَّةَ بَينَنا وَبَينَكُمُ ۖ اللَّهُ يَجمَعُ بَينَنا ۖ وَإِلَيهِ المَصيرُ
So, invite to this, and be upright as you’re commanded, and don’t follow their desires. And say, “I believe in whatever Scripture God revealed. And I am commanded to judge justly among you. God is our Lord and your Lord. We have our deeds, and you have yours. There is no contention between us and you. God will bring us together, and to Him is the final return.”
وَالَّذينَ يُحاجّونَ فِي اللَّهِ مِن بَعدِ مَا استُجيبَ لَهُ حُجَّتُهُم داحِضَةٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِم وَعَلَيهِم غَضَبٌ وَلَهُم عَذابٌ شَديدٌ
As for those who argue about God after his acceptance, their argument is null before their Lord, and upon them is wrath, and for them is severe punishment.
اللَّهُ الَّذي أَنزَلَ الكِتابَ بِالحَقِّ وَالميزانَ ۗ وَما يُدريكَ لَعَلَّ السّاعَةَ قَريبٌ
It is God who revealed the Scripture with truth and balance. What would make you realize? Perhaps the Hour is near.
يَستَعجِلُ بِهَا الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِها ۖ وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا مُشفِقونَ مِنها وَيَعلَمونَ أَنَّهَا الحَقُّ ۗ أَلا إِنَّ الَّذينَ يُمارونَ فِي السّاعَةِ لَفي ضَلالٍ بَعيدٍ
Those who don’t believe in it seek to hasten it, but those who believe are fearful of it, and they know that it’s the truth. Those who dispute about the Hour are indeed in a far misguidance.
