كَانَ Was kāna mankind l-nāsu a community ummatan single wāḥidatan then raised up fabaʿatha Allah l-lahu [the] Prophets l-nabiyīna (as) bearers of glad tidings mubashirīna and (as) warners wamundhirīna and sent down wa-anzala with them maʿahumu the Book l-kitāba in [the] truth bil-ḥaqi to judge liyaḥkuma between bayna [the] people l-nāsi in what fīmā they differed ikh'talafū [in it] fīhi And (did) not wamā differ[ed] ikh'talafa in it fīhi except illā those who alladhīna were given it ūtūhu from min after baʿdi [what] mā came to them jāathumu the clear proofs l-bayinātu (out of) jealousy baghyan among themselves baynahum And guided fahadā Allah l-lahu those who alladhīna believe[d] āmanū regarding what limā they differed ikh'talafū [in it] fīhi of mina the Truth l-ḥaqi with His permission bi-idh'nihi And Allah wal-lahu guides yahdī whom man He wills yashāu to ilā a path ṣirāṭin straight mus'taqīmin
Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allāh sent the prophets as bringers of good tidings and warners and sent down with them the Scripture in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. And none differed over it [i.e., the Scripture] except those who were given it - after the clear proofs came to them - out of jealous animosity among themselves. And Allāh guided those who believed to the truth concerning that over which they had differed, by His permission. And Allāh guides whom He wills to a straight path.
