    Translation

    He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein.

    Translation

    And they did not become divided until after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord [postponing the penalty] until a specified time, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed, those who were granted inheritance of the Scripture after them are, concerning it, in disquieting doubt.

15. 15 Ash-Shura 42:15

    فَلِذٰلِكَ فَادْعُۚ وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَٓا اُمِرْتَۚ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ اَهْوَٓاءَهُمْۚ وَقُلْ اٰمَنْتُ بِمَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ كِتَابٍۚ وَاُمِرْتُ لِاَعْدِلَ بَيْنَكُمْؕ اَللّٰهُ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمْؕ لَـنَٓا اَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ اَعْمَالُكُمْؕ لَا حُجَّةَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْؕ اَللّٰهُ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَاۚ وَاِلَيْهِ الْمَصٖيرُؕ

    So to that [religion of Allah] invite, [O Muhammad], and remain on a right course as you are commanded and do not follow their inclinations but say, "I have believed in what Allah has revealed of the Qur'an, and I have been commanded to do justice among you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. For us are our deeds, and for you your deeds. There is no [need for] argument between us and you. Allah will bring us together, and to Him is the [final] destination."

16. 16 Ash-Shura 42:16

    وَالَّذٖينَ يُحَٓاجُّونَ فِي اللّٰهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا اسْتُجٖيبَ لَهُ حُجَّتُهُمْ دَاحِضَةٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدٖيدٌ
