كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ وَأَنزَلَ مَعَهُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فِيمَا ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَا ٱخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوهُ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَٰتُ بَغْيًۢا بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ فَهَدَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لِمَا ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

Muhammad Hamidullah · Le Saint Coran, traduction Muhammad Hamidullah

Les gens formaient (à l'origine) une seule communauté (croyante). Puis, (après leurs divergences,) Allah envoya des prophètes comme annonciateurs et avertisseurs; et Il fit descendre avec eux le Livre contenant la vérité, pour régler parmi les gens leurs divergences. Mais, ce sont ceux-là mêmes à qui il avait été apporté, qui se mirent à en disputer, après que les preuves leur furent venues, par esprit de rivalité! Puis Allah, de par Sa Grâce, guida ceux qui crurent vers cette Vérité sur laquelle les autres disputaient. Et Allah guide qui Il veut vers le chemin droit.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall · The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (1930)

Mankind were one community, and Allah sent (unto them) prophets as bearers of good tidings and as warners, and revealed therewith the Scripture with the truth that it might judge between mankind concerning that wherein they differed. And only those unto whom (the Scripture) was given differed concerning it, after clear proofs had come unto them, through hatred one of another. And Allah by His Will guided those who believe unto the truth of that concerning which they differed. Allah guideth whom He will unto a straight path.
