هُود : ١١٠

  • وَلَقَدۡ And verily
  • ءَاتَيۡنَا We gave
  • مُوسَى Musa
  • ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ the Book
  • فَٱخۡتُلِفَ but differences arose
  • فِيهِۚ therein
  • وَلَوۡلَا And if not
  • كَلِمَةٞ (for) a Word
  • سَبَقَتۡ (that) preceded
  • مِن from
  • رَّبِّكَ your Lord
  • لَقُضِيَ surely would have been judged
  • بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ between them
  • وَإِنَّهُمۡ And indeed they
  • لَفِي surely (are) in
  • شَكّٖ doubt
  • مِّنۡهُ concerning it
  • مُرِيبٖ suspicious
And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture, but it came under disagreement. And if not for a word1 that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them. And indeed they are, concerning it [i.e., the Qur’ān], in disquieting doubt.
Footnotes
1 See footnote to 10:19.
And We verily gave Moses the Scripture, the Torah, but differences arose concerning it, some believing, others denying, just as [is the case] with Al-Qur'an; and were it not for a word that went forth from your Lord, to defer the reckoning and the requital for creatures to the Day of Resurrection, the case would have been decided between them, in this world, regarding that over which they differed; and truly they, that is, those who deny it, are in grave doubt concerning it, [doubt] creating [great] uncertainty.
