كَانَ Was ٱلنَّاسُ mankind أُمَّةًۭ a community وَٰحِدَةًۭ single فَبَعَثَ then raised up ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ [the] Prophets مُبَشِّرِينَ (as) bearers of glad tidings وَمُنذِرِينَ and (as) warners وَأَنزَلَ and sent down مَعَهُمُ with them ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book بِٱلْحَقِّ in [the] truth لِيَحْكُمَ to judge بَيْنَ between ٱلنَّاسِ [the] people فِيمَا in what ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ they differed فِيهِ ۚ [in it] وَمَا And (did) not ٱخْتَلَفَ differ[ed] فِيهِ in it إِلَّا except ٱلَّذِينَ those who أُوتُوهُ were given it مِنۢ from بَعْدِ after مَا [what] جَآءَتْهُمُ came to them ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ the clear proofs بَغْيًۢا (out of) jealousy بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ among themselves فَهَدَى And guided ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] لِمَا regarding what ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ they differed فِيهِ [in it] مِنَ of ٱلْحَقِّ the Truth بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۗ with His permission وَٱللَّهُ And Allah يَهْدِى guides مَن whom يَشَآءُ He wills إِلَىٰ to صِرَٰطٍۢ a path مُّسْتَقِيمٍ straight ٢١٣

Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allāh sent the prophets as bringers of good tidings and warners and sent down with them the Scripture in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. And none differed over it [i.e., the Scripture] except those who were given it - after the clear proofs came to them - out of jealous animosity among themselves. And Allāh guided those who believed to the truth concerning that over which they had differed, by His permission. And Allāh guides whom He wills to a straight path.

أَمْ Or حَسِبْتُمْ (do) you think أَن that تَدْخُلُوا۟ you will enter ٱلْجَنَّةَ Paradise وَلَمَّا while not يَأْتِكُم (has) come to you مَّثَلُ like (came to) ٱلَّذِينَ those who خَلَوْا۟ passed away مِن from قَبْلِكُم ۖ before you مَّسَّتْهُمُ Touched them ٱلْبَأْسَآءُ [the] adversity وَٱلضَّرَّآءُ and [the] hardship وَزُلْزِلُوا۟ and they were shaken حَتَّىٰ until يَقُولَ said ٱلرَّسُولُ the Messenger وَٱلَّذِينَ and those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believed مَعَهُۥ with him مَتَىٰ When نَصْرُ [will] (the) help ٱللَّهِ ۗ (of) Allah (come) أَلَآ Unquestionably إِنَّ [Indeed] نَصْرَ help ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah قَرِيبٌۭ (is) near ٢١٤

Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allāh?" Unquestionably, the help of Allāh is near.
