627. THERE IS NO BASE FOR DIFFERENCES IN NATURE

(وَمَا كَانَ النَّاسُ إِلّا أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَاخْتَلَفُوا وَلَوْلا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ فِيما فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ) .1

"Mankind were but a single [religious] community; then they differed. And were it not for a prior decree of your Lord, decision would have been made between them concerning about that which they differ." 2
