(And gave them plain commandments) regarding Religion. (And they differed not) regarding Muhammad (pbuh) the Qur'an and Islam (until after the knowledge came unto them) until the explanation in their own Scripture came to them, (through rivalry among themselves) because of resentful envy they refused to believe in Muhammad (pbuh) and the Qur'an. (Lo! thy Lord) O Muhammad (will judge between them) between the Jews, Christians and believers (on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein) in matter of religion (they used to differ) in the life of the world.
- 45:1717
وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ بَيِّنَاتٍ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ ۖ فَمَا اخْتَلَفُوا إِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًا بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِي بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ
And gave them a clear exposition of Our laws. And they did not differ until after knowledge came to them, through mutual jealousies. Verily your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgement in what they differed about.
