[5:46]
And We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow in
their footsteps, confirming that which was (revealed) before him in the Torah,
and We bestowed on him the Gospel wherein is guidance and a light, confirming
that which was (revealed) before it in the Torah - a guidance and an admonition
unto those who ward off (evil).
[5:47]
Let the People of the Gospel judge by that which
Allah hath revealed therein. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath
revealed: such are evil-livers.
[5:48]
And unto thee have We
revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before
it, and a watcher over it. So judge between them by that which Allah hath
revealed, and follow not their desires away from the truth which hath come unto
thee. For each We have appointed a divine law and a
traced-out way. Had Allah willed He could have made you one community.
But that He may try you by that which He hath given you (He hath made you as ye
are). So vie one with another in good works. Unto Allah ye will all return, and
He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ.
[5:49]
So judge between them by
that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires, but beware of
them lest they seduce thee from some part of that which Allah hath revealed
unto thee. And if they turn away,
then know that Allah’s Will is to smite them for some sin of theirs. Lo! many of mankind are evil-livers.
[5:50]
Is it a judgment of the time of (pagan)
ignorance that they are seeking ? Who is better than
Allah for judgment to a people who have certainty (in their belief) ?
