Al-Ma'idah 5:49 وان احكم بينهم بما انزل الله ولا تتبع اهواءهم واحذرهم ان يفتنوك عن بعض ما انزل الله اليك فان تولوا فاعلم انما يريد الله ان يصيبهم ببعض ذنوبهم وان كثيرا من الناس لفاسقون ٤٩

5:49
وَأَنِ
ٱحۡكُم
بَيۡنَهُم
بِمَآ
أَنزَلَ
ٱللَّهُ
وَلَا
تَتَّبِعۡ
أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ
وَٱحۡذَرۡهُمۡ
أَن
يَفۡتِنُوكَ
عَنۢ
بَعۡضِ
مَآ
أَنزَلَ
ٱللَّهُ
إِلَيۡكَۖ
فَإِن
تَوَلَّوۡاْ
فَٱعۡلَمۡ
أَنَّمَا
يُرِيدُ
ٱللَّهُ
أَن
يُصِيبَهُم
بِبَعۡضِ
ذُنُوبِهِمۡۗ
وَإِنَّ
كَثِيرٗا
مِّنَ
ٱلنَّاسِ
لَفَٰسِقُونَ

If they turn away, be assured that Allah intends to make them suffer for some of their sins. Surely, many of the people are sinners.

Chapter 5, Page 116, Juz 6

48. We have sent down to you the Book with truth, confirming the Book before it, and a protector for it. So, judge between them according to what Allah has sent down, and do not follow their desires against the truth that has come to you. For each of you We have made a law and a method. Had Allah willed, He would have made a single community of people, but (He did not), so that He may test you in what He has given to you. Strive, then, to excel each other in good deeds. To Allah is the return for all of you. Then Allah shall tell you about that in which you disputed. 49. We order you to judge between them according to what Allah has sent down. Do not follow their desires, and beware of them, lest they should turn you away from some of what Allah has sent down to you. If they turn away, be assured that Allah intends to make them suffer for some of their sins. Surely, many of the people are sinners. 50. Is it, then, the judgement of (the days of) Ignorance that they seek? Who is better in judgement than Allah, for a people who believe?
