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;

He will say: "Enter ye in the company of the peoples who passed away before you - men and jinns, - into the Fire." Every time a new people enters, it curses its sister-people (that went before), until they follow each other, all into the Fire. Saith the last about the first: "Our Lord! it is these that misled us: so give them a double penalty in the Fire." He will say: "Doubled for all" : but this ye do not understand.

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。

真主将要说：“你们同精灵和人类中以前逝去的各民族一起进入火狱吧。”每当一个民族进火狱去，总要咒骂她的姐妹民族，直到他们统统到齐了。他们中后进的论及先进的说：“我们的主啊！这等人曾使我们迷误，求你使他们受加倍的火刑。”主说：“-个人都受加倍的火刑，但你们不知道。”
