And He said to our master Muhammad, His glory is magnificent: [And We have revealed to you the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what God has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a method. Had God willed, He would have made you one nation, but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to good deeds. To God is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ ❁ And judge between them by what God has revealed and do not follow their inclinations and beware of them,
