وَأَنِ
احْكُم
بَيْنَهُم
بِمَا
أَنزَلَ
اللَّهُ
وَلَا
تَتَّبِعْ
أَهْوَاءَهُمْ
وَاحْذَرْهُمْ
أَن
يَفْتِنُوكَ
عَن
بَعْضِ
مَا
أَنزَلَ
اللَّهُ
إِلَيْكَ
فَإِن
تَوَلَّوْا
فَاعْلَمْ
أَنَّمَا
يُرِيدُ
اللَّهُ
أَن
يُصِيبَهُم
بِبَعْضِ
ذُنُوبِهِمْ
وَإِنَّ
كَثِيرًا
مِّنَ
النَّاسِ
لَفَاسِقُونَ

(Muhammad), you must judge among them by what God has revealed. Do not follow their desires. Beware of their mischievous deception concerning some of the matters that God has revealed to you. If they turn away, know that what God wants is to punish them for some of their sins. Many human beings are evil-doers.
