ذَلِكَ

wa-kayfa yuḥakkimūnaka wa-ʿindahumu t-tawrātu fīhā ḥukmu llāhi thumma yatawallawna min baʿdi dhālika wa-mā ʾulāʾika bi-l-muʾminīna
But why do they come to thee for decision, when they have (their own) law before them?- therein is the (plain) command of Allah; yet even after that, they would turn away. For they are not (really) People of Faith.
— Abdullah Yusufali
And how should they make you a judge, while with them is the Torah, in which is Allah’s judgement? Yet in spite of that, they turn their backs [on Him] and they are not believers.
