كَانَ
النَّاسُ
أُمَّةً
وَاحِدَةً
فَبَعَثَ
اللَّهُ
النَّبِيِّينَ
مُبَشِّرِينَ
وَمُنذِرِينَ
وَأَنزَلَ
مَعَهُمُ
الْكِتَابَ
بِالْحَقِّ
لِيَحْكُمَ
بَيْنَ
النَّاسِ
فِيمَا
اخْتَلَفُوا
فِيهِ
وَمَا
اخْتَلَفَ
فِيهِ
إِلَّا
الَّذِينَ
أُوتُوهُ
مِن
بَعْدِ
مَا
جَاءَتْهُمُ
الْبَيِّنَاتُ
بَغْيًا
بَيْنَهُمْ
فَهَدَى
اللَّهُ
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
لِمَا
اخْتَلَفُوا
فِيهِ
مِنَ
الْحَقِّ
بِإِذْنِهِ
وَاللَّهُ
يَهْدِي
مَن
يَشَاءُ
إِلَى
صِرَاطٍ
مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

Mankind were a single community; then Allah sent the prophets as bearers of good news and warners, and He sent down with them the Book with the truth, that it may judge between the people concerning that about which they differed, and none differed in it except those who had been given it, after the manifest proofs had come to them, out of envy among themselves. Then Allah guided those who had faith to the truth of what they differed in, by His will, and Allah guides whomever He wishes to a straight path.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book, after the clear Signs came to them, did not differ among themselves, except through selfish contumacy. Allah by His Grace Guided the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed. For Allah guided whom He will to a path that is straight.
