"Our Lord! make of us Muslims, bowing to Thy (Will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Thy (will); and show us our place for the celebration of (due) rites; and turn unto us (in Mercy); for Thou art the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qibla to which thou wast used, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels (From the Faith). Indeed it was (A change) momentous, except to those guided by Allah. And never would Allah Make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people Most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful.

Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book, after the clear Signs came to them, did not differ among themselves, except through selfish contumacy. Allah by His Grace Guided the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed. For Allah guided whom He will to a path that is straight.

To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;

Mankind was but one nation, but differed (later). Had it not been for a word that went forth before from thy Lord, their differences would have been settled between them.

If thy Lord had so willed, He could have made mankind one people: but they will not cease to dispute.

If Allah so willed, He could make you all one people: But He leaves straying whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases: but ye shall certainly be called to account for all your actions.

Abraham was indeed a model, devoutly obedient to Allah, (and) true in Faith, and he joined not gods with Allah:

Verily, this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore serve Me (and no other).

Then sent We our messengers in succession: every time there came to a people their messenger, they accused him of falsehood: so We made them follow each other (in punishment): We made them as a tale (that is told): So away with a people that will not believe!

And verily this Brotherhood of yours is a single Brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore fear Me (and no other).

And when he arrived at the watering (place) in Madyan, he found there a group of men watering (their flocks), and besides them he found two women who were keeping back (their flocks). He said: "What is the matter with you?" They said: "We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take back (their flocks): And our father is a very old man."

If Allah had so willed, He could have made them a single people; but He admits whom He will to His Mercy; and the Wrong-doers will have no protector nor helper.

And were it not that (all) men might become of one (evil) way of life, We would provide, for everyone that blasphemes against (Allah) Most Gracious, silver roofs for their houses and (silver) stair-ways on which to go up,

我们的主啊！求你使我们变成你的两个顺民，并从我们的後裔中造成归顺你的民族，求你昭示我们朝觐的仪式，求你恕宥我们，你确是至宥的，确是至慈的。

我这样以你们为中正的民族，以便你们作证世人，而使者作证你们。我以你原来所对的方向为朝向，只为辨别谁是顺从使者的，谁是背叛的。这确是一件难事，但在真主所引导的人，却不难。真主不致使你们的信仰徒劳无酬。真主对於世人，确是至爱的，确是至慈的。

世人原是一个民族，嗣後，他们信仰分歧，故真主派众先知作报喜者和警告者，且降示他们包含真理的经典，以便他为世人判决他们所争论的是非。惟曾受天经的人，在明证降临之後，为互相嫉妒，而对天经意见分歧，故真主依自己的意旨而引导信道的人，俾得明了他们所争论的真理。真主引导他所意欲的人走上正路。

我降示你这部包含真理的经典，以证实以前的一切天经，而监护之。故你当依真主所降示的经典而为他们判决，你不要舍弃降临你的真理而顺从他们的私欲。我已为你们中每一个民族制定一种教律和法程。如果真主意欲，他必使你们变成一个民族。但他把你们分成许多民族，以便他考验你们能不能遵守他所赐予你们的教律和法程。故你们当争先为善。你们全体都要归于真主，他要把你们所争论的是非告诉你们。

人们原来是一个民族，嗣后，他们信仰分歧，假若没有一句话，从你主预先发出，那末他们所争论的是非，必定获得判决了。

假若你的主意欲，他必使众人变成为－个民族。他们将继续分歧，

假若真主意欲，他必使你们成为一个民族；但他使他所意欲者误入迷途，使他所意欲者遵循正路。你们势必要为你们的行为而受审问。

易卜拉欣原来是一个表率，他服从真主，信奉正教，而且不是以物配主的。

你们的这个民族，确是一个统一的民族，我是你们的主，故你们应当崇拜我。

然后，我陆续地派遣我的众使者，每个族的使者来临他们时，他们都否认他，故我使他们相继灭亡，而使他们的事迹变成话柄。不信道的民众已遭毁灭。

这个确是你们的统一的民族我是你们的主，故你们应当敬畏我。

当他来到麦德彦的泉边的时候，他看见有一群人在那里饮羊，他发现除他们外还有两女子，拦着她们俩的羊群。他说：“你们俩为什么这样呢？”她俩说：“我们要到牧人们使他们的羊离开泉水，才得饮我们的羊，我们的父亲是一位龙钟的老人。”

假若真主意欲，他必使他们信奉同一的宗教，但他使他所意欲者入于他的恩惠中；不义的人们，绝无保护者，也无援助者。

若不是为防世人变为一教，我必使不信至仁主的人们的房屋变成有银顶的，和银梯的，以便他们登临其上；
