42:8

وَلَوْ

شَاءَ

اللَّهُ

لَجَعَلَهُمْ

أُمَّةً

وَاحِدَةً

وَلَكِن

يُدْخِلُ

مَن

يَشَاءُ

فِي

رَحْمَتِهِ

وَالظَّالِمُونَ

مَا

لَهُم

مِّن

وَلِيٍّ

وَلَا

نَصِيرٍ

wa-law shāʾa llāhu la-jaʿalahum ʾummatan wāḥidatan wa-lākin yudkhilu man yashāʾu raḥmatihī wa-ẓ-ẓālimūna lahum min waliyyin wa-lā naṣīrin

Had God wanted, He could have made them all one single nation, but He grants mercy to whomever He wills. The unjust will have no guardian or helper.

Muhammad Sarwar
