48. 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 God hath revealed, and follow
not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to the e. To each among
you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If God 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 God; i t is He that will show you
the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;
