He is the One Who revealed the book to you. In this, there are firm (solid, accurate, precise) verses, those are the sources of the book, and others are similar (obscure passages in Koran). Those who deviate from the truth in their hearts follow what is not specified in this, seeking discord and its interpretation. Only Allah knows its interpretations, and those established in knowledge say, “We believe in all of this, this is all from our Rabb.” But no one remembers except those with intelligent minds.

There is a sign for you in two groups when they meet (to fight). One group fought in Allah's path (cause), and the other was nonbelievers. They saw them with their eyes, twice in number. But Allah aids with His help whomever He desires. In this, there are warnings for those with vision. Ref. The Battle of Badr (غزوة بدر‎, Ghazwat Badr) was fought between Muslims and Quraish, and won by Muslims on Tuesday, 13 March 624 CE (17 Ramadan, 2 AH), near the present-day city of Badr, Al Madinah).

Allah said, “O Essa, I will take you and raise you to Me, and I will make you clean from the disbelievers (clean you of the notion that you are a son of God and that Jesus was crucified or died on the cross). And I will make those who follow you above non-believers until the day of standing. Then to Me, you will return; then I will decide what you have been disputing among you.

And when We took covenant (commitment) from the prophets that, "I am giving you the book and the wisdom; is (to prepare the world) for a messenger ("محمدﷺ" Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him) who will come to testify (endorse) what is with you, you shall surely believe in him, and you shall assist him (by conveying and implementing the Message to humankind that Allah is the One, The Creator)." He said, "Do you confirm and hold onto that with a compact?" They said, "We affirm it." He (Allah) said, "Bear witness, for I am with you among the witnesses." [(Note: This Ayat confirms that all prophets have implemented the same Message and prepared the world slowly and gradually to the final and complete Message, brought by prophet "محمدﷺ" Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him, and he was sent as Mercy in this world)].

Then He sent down peace (the feeling of being safe) on you after the distress. A peaceful slumber covered a group of you, and already other group thought themselves, by considering false thought in Allah, (that was a) consideration of ignorance, they were saying, “Is there anything for us (to say) in the matter?” Say, “The matter altogether is for Allah.” They were hiding in themselves what they were not declaring to you. They said, “If there were anything for us to decide in the matter, We wouldn’t have gotten killed here.” Say, “Even if you had been in your homes, Allah would have made them stand out and decreed on them to get killed on their deathbeds.” Allah would have put you on trial for what is in your mind and put to the test what is in your heart. Allah Knows the hidden thoughts.
