5:47



5:47-50
**And let the people of the Gospel judge by what God sent down therein; and whoso judges not by what God has sent down: it is they who are the perfidious.**

And We sent down to thee the Writ with the truth, confirming what is before it of the Writ, and as a control over it. So judge thou between them by what God has sent down; and follow thou not their vain desires away from what has come to thee of the truth. For each of you We appointed an ordinance and a procedure. And had God willed, He could have made you one community; but that He might try you in what He gave you[… He gave you varying laws.]. — So vie in good deeds; unto God will you return all together, and He will inform you of that wherein you differed —

And judge thou between them by what God has sent down; and follow thou not their vain desires, and beware thou of them lest they seduce thee away from some of what God has sent down to thee. And if they turn away, know thou that God but intends to afflict them for some of their transgressions; and many among men are perfidious.

Is it the judgment of ignorance they seek? And who is better than God in judgment for people who are certain?

47:1-6
Those who ignore warning and turn away from the path of God, He sends their deeds astray;

But those who heed warning and do righteous deeds, and believe in what was sent down upon Muḥammad — and it is the truth from their Lord — He will remove from them their evil deeds, and make right their state.

For it is that those who ignore warning follow falsehood, and that those who heed warning follow the truth from their Lord! Thus does God strike for men their similitudes.

And when you meet those who ignore warning: — then the smiting of the necks. When you have battled them strenuously, then make strong the bonds; then: — either grace thereafter or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. That when, had God willed, He would have taken revenge upon them; but that He might try some of you by means of others[…He wills that you should fight.]. And those who are slain in the cause of God, He will not send their deeds astray;

**He will guide them, and make right their state,**

And make them enter the Garden He has made known to them.
