Verse 253

۞ تِلْكَ These ٱلرُّسُلُ (are) the Messengers فَضَّلْنَا We (have) preferred بَعْضَهُمْ some of them عَلَىٰ over بَعْضٍۢ ۘ others مِّنْهُم Among them مَّن (were those with) whom كَلَّمَ spoke ٱللَّهُ ۖ Allah وَرَفَعَ and He raised بَعْضَهُمْ some of them دَرَجَـٰتٍۢ ۚ (in) degrees وَءَاتَيْنَا And We gave عِيسَى Isa ٱبْنَ son مَرْيَمَ (of) Maryam ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ the clear proofs وَأَيَّدْنَـٰهُ and We supported him بِرُوحِ with Spirit ٱلْقُدُسِ ۗ [the] Holy وَلَوْ And if شَآءَ (had) willed ٱللَّهُ Allah مَا not ٱقْتَتَلَ (would have) fought each other ٱلَّذِينَ those who مِنۢ (came) from بَعْدِهِم after them مِّنۢ from بَعْدِ after مَا [what] جَآءَتْهُمُ came to them ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ the clear proofs وَلَـٰكِنِ [And] but ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ they differed فَمِنْهُم [so] of them مَّنْ (are some) who ءَامَنَ believed وَمِنْهُم and of them مَّن (are some) who كَفَرَ ۚ denied وَلَوْ And if شَآءَ (had) willed ٱللَّهُ Allah مَا not ٱقْتَتَلُوا۟ they (would have) fought each other وَلَـٰكِنَّ [and] but ٱللَّهَ Allah يَفْعَلُ does مَا what يُرِيدُ He intends ٢٥٣

Those messengers - some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them were those to whom Allāh spoke, and He raised some of them in degree. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Pure Spirit [i.e., Gabriel]. If Allāh had willed, those [generations] succeeding them would not have fought each other after the clear proofs had come to them. But they differed, and some of them believed and some of them disbelieved. And if Allāh had willed, they would not have fought each other, but Allāh does what He intends.
