وَأَنزَلْنَآ And We revealed إِلَيْكَ to you ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book بِٱلْحَقِّ in [the] truth مُصَدِّقًۭا confirming لِّمَا what بَيْنَ (was) before يَدَيْهِ his hands مِنَ of ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ the Book وَمُهَيْمِنًا and a guardian عَلَيْهِ ۖ over it فَٱحْكُم So judge بَيْنَهُم between them بِمَآ by what أَنزَلَ has revealed ٱللَّهُ ۖ Allah وَلَا and (do) not تَتَّبِعْ follow أَهْوَآءَهُمْ their vain desires عَمَّا when جَآءَكَ has come to you مِنَ of ٱلْحَقِّ ۚ the truth لِكُلٍّۢ For each جَعَلْنَا We have made مِنكُمْ for you شِرْعَةًۭ a law وَمِنْهَاجًۭا ۚ and a clear way وَلَوْ And if شَآءَ (had) willed ٱللَّهُ Allah لَجَعَلَكُمْ He (would have) made you أُمَّةًۭ a community وَٰحِدَةًۭ one وَلَـٰكِن [and] but لِّيَبْلُوَكُمْ to test you فِى in مَآ what ءَاتَىٰكُمْ ۖ He (has) given you فَٱسْتَبِقُوا۟ so race ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ ۚ (to) the good إِلَى To ٱللَّهِ Allah مَرْجِعُكُمْ you will return جَمِيعًۭا all فَيُنَبِّئُكُم then He will inform you بِمَا of what كُنتُمْ you were فِيهِ concerning it تَخْتَلِفُونَ differing ٤٨

And We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allāh has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a method. Had Allāh willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allāh is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.
