شَرَعَ لَکُمْ مِنَ الدِّینِ مَا وَصَّى بِهِ نُوحاً وَالَّذِی أَوْحَیْنَا إِلَیْکَ وَمَا وَصَّیْنَا بِهِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ وَمُوسَى وَعِیسَى أَنْ أَقِیمُوا الدِّینَ وَلاَ تَتَفَرَّقُوا فِیهِ کَبُرَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِکِینَ مَا تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَیْهِ اللهُ یَجْتَبِى إِلَیْهِ مَنْ یَشَاءُ وَیَهْدِی إِلَیْهِ مَنْ یُنِیبُ(( 13 ))

13- HE HAS ORDAINED FOR YOU AS RELIGION THAT, WHICH WAS ENJOINED ON NAOH - AND THAT WHICH WE HAVE SENT BY INSPIRATION TO YOU, AND THAT WHICH WE ENJOINED ON ABRAHAM, MOSES AND JESUS; IT WAS TO KEEP ON WITH THE SAID RELIGION, AND CAUSE NOT SCHISM IN IT.

      GREAT IS THAT TO WHICH YOU CALL THE POLYTHEISTS. ALLAH ELECTS TO HIMSELF WHOM HE WILL, AND HE GUIDES TO HIMSELF THOSE WHO TURN. (TO HIM)

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوا إِلاَّ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْیاً بَیْنَهُمْ وَلَوْلاَ کَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّکَ إِلَى أَجَل مُسَمًّى لَقُضِىَ بَیْنَهُمْ وَإِنَّ الَّذِینَ أُورِثُوا الْکِتَابَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ لَفِی شَکّ مِنْهُ مُرِیب(( 14 ))

14- AND THEY DIVIDED NOT UNTIL KNOWLEDGE HAD COME TO THEM, (AND THEIR DIVISION WAS DUE TO) THE JEALOUSY AND RANCOUR THAT WAS AMONG THEM.

      AND IF IT WAS NOT FOR A WORD THAT HAD PRECEDED FROM YOUR LORD, UP TO A STATED TERM, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN JUDGED. (AND PUNISHED ACCORDINGLY) AND VERILY THOSE WHO INHERITED THE BOOK AFTER THEM ARE IN DOUBT OF IT SUSPICIOUSLY.
