10:19
وَمَا
كَانَ
النَّاسُ
إِلَّا
أُمَّةً
وَاحِدَةً
فَاخْتَلَفُوا
وَلَوْلَا
كَلِمَةٌ
سَبَقَتْ
مِن
رَّبِّكَ
لَقُضِيَ
بَيْنَهُمْ
فِيمَا
فِيهِ
يَخْتَلِفُونَ
wa-mā kāna n-nāsu ʾillā ʾummatan wāḥidatan fa-khtalafū wa-law-lā kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika la-quḍiya baynahum fī-mā fīhi yakhtalifūna
All people (once) followed one belief. Then they began to follow different beliefs. Had not a word of your Lord (His decision to give every one time and free will) been decreed, God would already have settled their differences.
