وَلَوْ
شَاءَ
اللَّهُ
لَجَعَلَكُمْ
أُمَّةً
وَاحِدَةً
وَلَكِن
يُضِلُّ
مَن
يَشَاءُ
وَيَهْدِي
مَن
يَشَاءُ
وَلَتُسْأَلُنَّ
عَمَّا
كُنتُمْ
تَعْمَلُونَ
wa-law shāʾa llāhu la-jaʿalakum ʾummatan wāḥidatan wa-lākin yuḍillu man yashāʾu wa-yahdī man yashāʾu wa-la-tusʾalunna ʿammā kuntum taʿmalūna
If Allah so willed, He could make you all one people: But He leaves straying whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases: but ye shall certainly be called to account for all your actions.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Had Allah wished, He would have made you one community, but He leads astray whomever He wishes and guides whomever He wishes, and you will surely be questioned concerning what you used to do.
