Sura 2
Aya 176
176
ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ نَزَّلَ الكِتابَ بِالحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ الَّذينَ اختَلَفوا فِي الكِتابِ لَفي شِقاقٍ بَعيدٍ

Yusuf Ali

(Their doom is) because God sent down the Book in truth but those who seek causes of dispute in the Book are in a schism1 Far (from the purpose).
  • From the mere physical regulation we are at once lifted up into the sphere of morals and faith. For the one acts and reacts on the other. If we are constantly carping at wholesome regulations, we shall do nothing but cause division and schisms among the people, and ordered society would tend to break up. (Cf. 41:52).
