And mankind was not but one community ˹united in religion˺, but ˹then˺ they differed. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them ˹immediately˺ concerning that over which they differ.
وَمَا كَانَ النَّاسُ إِلَّا أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَاخْتَلَفُوا ۚ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ فِيمَا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ
