Watu wote walikuwa ni umma mmoja. Mwenyezi Mungu akapeleka Manabii wabashiri na (2:213)

﴿كَانَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ النَّبِيِّينَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ وَأَنزَلَ مَعَهُمُ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فِيمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ ۚ وَمَا اخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ أُوتُوهُ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ بَغْيًا بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ فَهَدَى اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ﴾
[ البقرة: 213]

Watu wote walikuwa ni umma mmoja. Mwenyezi Mungu akapeleka Manabii wabashiri na waonyaji. Na pamoja nao akateremsha Kitabu kwa Haki, ili kihukumu baina ya watu katika yale walio khitalifiana. Na wala hawakukhitalifiana ila wale walio pewa Kitabu hicho baada ya kuwafikia hoja zilizo wazi, kwa sababu ya uhasidi baina yao. Ndipo Mwenyezi Mungu kwa idhini yake akawaongoa walio amini kwendea haki katika mambo waliyo khitalifiana. Na Mwenyezi Mungu humwongoa amtakaye kwenye Njia Iliyo Nyooka.

Swahili Translation - Al-Barwani

English - Sahih International

Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allah sent the prophets as bringers of good tidings and warners and sent down with them the Scripture in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. And none differed over the Scripture except those who were given it - after the clear proofs came to them - out of jealous animosity among themselves. And Allah guided those who believed to the truth concerning that over which they had differed, by His permission. And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path.

Tafsiri ya maana yake kwenye lugha ya Kiswahili

Watu wote walikuwa ni umma mmoja. Mwenyezi Mungu akapeleka Manabii wabashiri na waonyaji. Na pamoja nao akateremsha Kitabu kwa Haki, ili kihukumu baina ya watu katika yale walio khitalifiana. Na wala hawakukhitalifiana ila wale walio pewa Kitabu hicho baada ya kuwafikia hoja zilizo wazi, kwa sababu ya uhasidi baina yao. Ndipo Mwenyezi Mungu kwa idhini yake akawaongoa walio amini kwendea haki katika mambo waliyo khitalifiana. Na Mwenyezi Mungu humwongoa amtakaye kwenye Njia Iliyo Nyooka.

Hakika watu wana tabia moja ya kuwa wapo tayari kupotoka, na wapo ambao sababu za uwongofu zinakuwa na nguvu kwao, na wengine upotovu ndio unawatawala. Kwa hivyo wakakhitalifiana. Mwenyezi Mungu akawapelekea Manabii kuwaongoa na kuwabashiria kheri na kuwaonya. Na akateremsha kwa hao Manabii Vitabu vyenye kukusanya Haki, ili viwe ndivyo vya kuwahukumu iondoke mizozo baina yao. Lakini wale walio nafiika na uwongofu wa Manabii ndio wao tu walio amini, hao ambao Mwenyezi Mungu amewaongoa kutokana na khitilafu wakafuata Haki. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye anaye wapa tawfiqi watu wa Haki pindi wakisafi niya zao.
