Quran 2:176 — Al-Baqara, verse 176
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
This is because God has sent the Scripture with the Truth; those who pursue differences in the Scripture are deeply entrenched in opposition.
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ نَزَّلَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي الْكِتَابِ لَفِي شِقَاقٍ بَعِيدٍ
dhālika bi-anna l-laha nazzala l-kitāba bil-ḥaqi wa-inna alladhīna ikh'talafū fī l-kitābi lafī shiqāqin baʿīdin

- That, because God has sent down the Book with the truth; and those that are at variance regarding the Book are in wide schism.
- Muhammad Asad
- Thus it is: since it is God who bestows the divine writ from on high, setting forth the truth, all those who set their own views against the divine writ are, verily, most deeply in the wrong.
- Sahih International
- That is [deserved by them] because Allāh has sent down the Book in truth. And indeed, those who differ over the Book are in extreme dissension.
