213. Mankind was one single nation, and Allah 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. Allah by His Grace
Guided the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed. For Allah
guided whom He will to a path that is straight.

214. Or do ye think that ye shall enter the Garden (of bliss) without such (trials) as came
to those who passed away before you? they encountered suffering and adversity, and
were so shaken in spirit that even the Messenger and those of faith who were with him
cried: "When (will come) the help of Allah." Ah! Verily, the help of Allah is (always)
near!
