Text Uthmani:

وَمَا كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ إِلَّآ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَٱخۡتَلَفُواْۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٞ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ فِيمَا فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ ١٩

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran:

Humanity was once nothing but a single community ˹of believers˺, but then they differed.¹ Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord,² their differences would have been settled ˹at once˺.

Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali & Muhammad Muhsin Khan:

Mankind were but one community (i.e. on one religion - Islâmic Monotheism), then they differed (later); and had not it been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord, it would have been settled between them regarding what they differed¹.
