The Holy Quran 5:47 — Surah Al-Ma'idah

Arabic text

وَلْيَحْكُمْ أَهْلُ ٱلْإِنجِيلِ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَن لَّمْ يَحْكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَـٰسِقُونَ

Translation

(We had instructed them saying,) The people of the Injeel should judge (their disputes) in accordance with what Allaah has revealed in it (in the Injeel). Whoever does not judge by what Allaah has revealed, then they surely are sinners (because of their disobedience).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Address to the people of the Injil: either this relates the command that was given to the Christians living at the time of the revelation of the Injil (Gospel), or it may be that the Christians addressed at the time of the revelation of the Quran were told to judge exactly according to what Almighty Allah revealed in the Injil.
