surah Baqarah aya 213 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿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]
2:213 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.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishPeople were one community.
All of them were in agreement and guided following the way of their father Adam, until the Satan misguided them.
They were then split into believers and disbelievers.
For this reason, God sent messengers bringing good news of the mercy of God for those who had faith in Him and followed Him and warning the disbelievers of the severe punishment of God.
Together with the messengers, God also sent books containing the undoubtable truth so that they could judge between people with respect to their disagreements.
It was only those who were given the Torah that differed with regards to the matter of Muhammad ( s ) and his message despite its being clear.
They did this out of injustice and jealousy.
God then enabled the believers to recognise guidance from misguidance by His permission and will.
God guides whoever He wishes to a perfectly straight path which is the path of faith.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Mankind were one community and Allah sent Prophets with glad tidings and warnings, and with them He sent the Scripture in truth to judge between people in matters wherein they differed. And only those to whom (the Scripture) was given differed concerning it after clear proofs had come unto them through hatred, one to another. Then Allah by His Leave guided those who believed to the truth of that wherein they differed. And Allah guides whom He wills to a Straight Path.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book, after the clear Signs came to them, did not differ among themselves, except through selfish contumacy. Allah by His Grace Guided the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed. For Allah guided whom He will to a path that is straight.
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
Mankind was one community and Allah sent Prophets with glad tidings and warnings, and with them He sent down the Scripture in truth to judge between people in matters wherein they differed. And only those to whom (the Scripture) was given differed concerning it, after clear proofs had come unto them, through hatred, one to another. Then Allah by His leave guided those who believed to the truth of that wherein they differed. And Allah guides whom He wills to the straight path.

2:213 Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allah sent the translate in arabic
كان الناس أمة واحدة فبعث الله النبيين مبشرين ومنذرين وأنـزل معهم الكتاب بالحق ليحكم بين الناس فيما اختلفوا فيه وما اختلف فيه إلا الذين أوتوه من بعد ما جاءتهم البينات بغيا بينهم فهدى الله الذين آمنوا لما اختلفوا فيه من الحق بإذنه والله يهدي من يشاء إلى صراط مستقيم
سورة: البقرة - آية: ( 213 ) - جزء: ( 2 ) - صفحة: ( 33 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Mankind was a single ‘Ummah (Nation) of common descent occupying a definite territory. By natural generation, numbers multiplied and were scattered in various directions and became disunited emotionally and mentally. There and then Allah sent Prophets as a spectacle and warning to all. He equipped them with the Book of Truth guiding into all truth in order to judge between people regarding issues of reason. Yet those who disputed its precepts were the same who were given the Book (Ahl Al-Kitab) imparting enough signs guiding them into illumination and mental enlightenment. But they were no longer disposed to the truth due to their mutual enmity and malignant intention. Nonetheless, Allah will guide the truth-seeking believers to His path. Allah guides whom He will to the path of righteousness
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(2:213) In the beginning all the people followed the same way. (Afterwards there came a change and differences arose). Then Allah sent Prophets to give good tidings to those who followed the Right Way and warnings to those who swerved from it. And He sent down with them the Book based on the Truth so that it should judge between the people concerning their differences. (Differences arose not because people were not given the knowledge of the Truth in the beginning, nay), differences arose between those very people who had been given clear teachings, and (for no other reasons than that) they wanted to tyrannize over one another. *230 So Allah, by His leave, guided those who believed in the Prophets to the Truth about which they had differed; AIIah guides whomever He pleases to the Right Way.

*230). When ignorant people attempt to trace the history of 'religion' they tend to the view that man began his life in the darkness of polytheisrn and that in the course of time, corresponding to man's progress, this darkness gradually receded and light increased till man arrived at monotheism.
The Qur'anic version, however, proclaims that man began his life in full light of the Truth. God revealed this Truth to the very first man He created, one to whom He intimated the right way of life for man. Thereafter the human race remained on the Right Way for some time and lived as one community. Later, however, people invented deviating ways. This did not happen because Truth had not been communicated to them. The cause was rather that some people wilfully sought to acquire privileges, benefits and advantages beyond their legitimate limits, and thus subjected others to injustices. It was in order to enable people to overcome this corruption that God sent His Prophets. These Prophets were not sent to found separate religions in their own names and bring new religious communities into existence. Rather the purpose of the Prophets was to illuminate before people the Truth which they had allowed to be lost, and once again make them into one community.

ابتدا میں سب لوگ ایک ہی طریقہ پر تھے (پھر یہ حالت باقی نہ رہی اور اختلافات رونما ہوئے) تب اللہ نے نبی بھیجے جو راست روی پر بشارت دینے والے اور کج روی کے نتائج سے ڈرانے والے تھے، اور اُن کے ساتھ کتاب بر حق نازل کی تاکہ حق کے بارے میں لوگوں کے درمیان جو اختلافات رونما ہوگئے تھے، ان کا فیصلہ کرے (اور ان اختلافات کے رونما ہونے کی وجہ یہ نہ تھی کہ ابتدا میں لوگوں کو حق بتایا نہیں گیا تھا نہیں،) اختلاف اُن لوگوں نے کیا، جنہیں حق کا عمل دیا چکا تھا اُنہوں نے روشن ہدایات پا لینے کے بعد محض اس کے لیے حق کو چھوڑ کر مختلف طریقے نکالے کہ وہ آپس میں زیادتی کرنا چاہتے تھے پس جو لوگ انبیا پر ایمان لے آئے، انہیں اللہ نے اپنے اذن سے اُس حق کا راستہ دکھا دیا، جس میں لوگوں نے اختلاف کیا تھا اللہ جسے چاہتا ہے، راہ راست دکھا دیتا ہے
