وَأَنزَلْنَآ إِلَیْکَ الْکِتَـبَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقاً لِّمَا بَیْنَ یَدَیْهِ مِنَ الْکِتَـبِ وَمُهَیْمِناً عَلَیْهِ فَاحْکُم بَیْنَهُم بِـمَآ أَنزَلَ اللهُ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ عَمَّا جَآءَکَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ لِکُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مِنکُمْ شِرْعَةً وَمِنْهاجاً وَلَوْ شَآءَ اللهُ لَجَعَلَکُمْ أُمَّةً وَحِدَةً وَلَـکِن لِّیَبْلُوَکُمْ فِى مَآ ءَاتَـکُمْ فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَیْرَتِ إِلَى اللهِ مَرْجِعُکُمْ جَمِیعاً فَیُنَبِّئُکُم بِـمَا کُنتُمْ فِیهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ (48)

48- AND WE HAVE SENT DOWN TO YOU THE BOOK IN TRUTH CONFIRMING THAT WHICH WAS IN HAND OF THE BOOK, AND A GUARDIAN OVER IT. SO JUDGE BETWEEN THEM ACCORDING TO WHAT ALLAH HAS SENT DOWN; AND DO NOT FOLLOW THEIR CAPRICES, TO SWERVE FROM THE TRUTH THAT HAS COME TO YOU. TO EVERY ONE OF YOU WE HAVE ASSIGNED A CREED AND AN OPEN WAY. IF ALLAH HAD SO WILLED, HE WOULD HAVE MADE YOU ONE SINGLE NATION; BUT THAT HE MAY TEST YOU IN WHAT HE HAS GIVEN YOU. THEN VIE WITH ONE ANOTHER IN GOOD DEEDS. TO ALLAH IS YOUR RETURN, THEN HE WILL INFORM YOU OF THAT IN WHICH YOU WERE AT VARIANCE.
