Sura 24
Aya 48
48
وَإِذا دُعوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ لِيَحكُمَ بَينَهُم إِذا فَريقٌ مِنهُم مُعرِضونَ

Muhammad Asad

And [so it is that] whenever they are summoned unto God and His Apostle in order that [the divine writ] might judge between them,1 lo! some of them turn away;
  • I.e., in order that the divine writ - which is implied in the preceding expression "God and His Apostle" might determine their ethical values and, consequently, their social behaviour.
