Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
They did not split ˹into sects˺ out of mutual envy until knowledge came to them.
1 Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord for an appointed term,
2 the matter would have certainly been settled between them ˹at once˺. And surely those who were made to inherit the Scripture
3 after them are truly in alarming doubt about this ˹Quran˺.
