Ayah: 213

كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ وَأَنزَلَ مَعَهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لِيَحۡكُمَ بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فِيمَا ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِۚ وَمَا ٱخۡتَلَفَ فِيهِ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوهُ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُ بَغۡيَۢا بَيۡنَهُمۡۖ فَهَدَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لِمَا ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ بِإِذۡنِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ

(213) Mankind was one nation^[356], then Allah sent the Prophets bearing good tidings and cautioning, and He sent down with them the Book^[357] with Truth so as to arbitrate between people in what they dispute over. It^[358] was only disputed over by those to whom it was given after the clear Signs came to them, out of contravention one against the other. But Allah leads the Believers to the Truth, which they disputed over, with His Will—Allah guides those He wills to a straight path.

[356] Ibn ʿAbbās (رضي الله عنهما) narrated: “The time between Adam and Noah was ten centuries. Throughout these, people were on the right path of God, but then they started disputing ˹over matters of faith˺. So, God sent Prophets bearing glad tiding and cautioning”. (al-Ḥākim, ­al-Mustadrak: 2:546, cf. also al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī, al-Shinqīṭī)
[357] Revealed Scriptures which contain Truthful news and fair commands. (al-Ṭabarī, al-Wāḥidī, al-Saʿdī)
[358] The Truth as found in their respective Scriptures (cf. Ibn ʿAṭiyyah, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī). The plight of humans, especially those who lack true sincerity and thereby humbleness, is such that the more knowledge they possess, the more haughty and disputatious they become.
