كان الناس امة واحدة فبعث الله النبيين مبشرين ومنذرين وانزل معهم الكتاب بالحق ليحكم بين الناس فيما اختلفوا فيه وما اختلف فيه الا الذين اوتوه من بعد ما جاءتهم البينات بغيا بينهم فهدى الله الذين امنوا لما اختلفوا فيه من الحق باذنه والله يهدي من يشاء الى صراط مستقيم

Mankind was one single nation, And God 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. God by His Grace Guided the Believers To the Truth, Concerning that Wherein they differed. For God guides Whom He will To a path That is straight.
