 Al-Baqara, 2:213-Allah has guided



 [Shakir 2:213] (All) people are a single nation; so Allah raised
prophets as bearers of good news and as warners, and He
revealed with them the Book with truth, that it might judge
between people in that in which they differed; and none but the
very people who were given it differed about it after clear
arguments had come to them, revolting among themselves; so
Allah has guided by His will those who believe to the truth about
which they differed and Allah guides whom He pleases to the
right path.

something abominable should modify it with his hand; and
if he has not enough strength to do it, then he should do it

then he should abhor it from his heart and that is the least
of faith. (Muslim, book 1, faith, Hadith no. 0079).
