“It
was We who revealed the law (to Moses): therein was guidance & light. By
its standard have been judged the Jews, by the prophets who bowed (as in Islam)
to Allah's will, by the rabbis & the doctors of law: for to them was
entrusted the protection of Allah's book, & they were witnesses thereto:
therefore fear not men, but fear me, & sell not my signs for a miserable
price. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they
are (no better than) Unbelievers.
We
ordained therein for them: "Life for life, eye for eye, nose or nose, ear
for ear, tooth for tooth, & wounds equal for equal." But if any one
remits the retaliation by way of charity, it is an act of atonement for
himself. And if any fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed,
they are (No better than) wrong-doers.
And
in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had
come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance & light,
& confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance & an
admonition to those who fear Allah.
Let
the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If any do
fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better
than) those who rebel.
To
thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before
it, & guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath
revealed, & follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that
hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law & an open
way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His
plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all
virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth
of the matters in which ye dispute;
And
this (He commands): Judge thou between them by what Allah hath revealed, &
follow not their vain desires, but beware of them lest they beguile thee from
any of that (teaching) which Allah hath sent down to thee. And if they turn
away, be assured that for some of their crime it is Allah's purpose to punish
them. And truly most men are rebellious.” [Holy Quran 5:44-49]
