The Holy Quran 11:110 — Surah Hud

Arabic text

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ فَٱخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ ۚ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَفِى شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيبٍ

Translation

Indeed We had granted Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام the Book (Torah), after which differences arose about it (causing people to reject it). If it were not for a word (decision) that proceeded from your Rabb (that they will be punished in the Aakhirah), the decision (that they should be punished in this world) would have been passed between them. They are in such (so many) doubt about it that they have been cast into uncertainty (and cannot determine fact from fallacy).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The wisdom behind the conflict of good and evil: [Allah] sent Musa ﵇ with the Torah, and a split arose among the people: some accepted [it], others did not — just as today the very same disagreement is taking place concerning the Glorious Quran.
