2:113

Salaam all,

This is 2:113
وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ لَيْسَتِ النَّصَارَى عَلَى شَيْءٍ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَارَى لَيْسَتِ الْيَهُودُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ وَهُمْ يَتْلُونَ الْكِتَابَ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْ فَاللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ
Waqalati alyahoodu laysati alnnasaraAAala shay-in waqalati alnnasaralaysati alyahoodu AAala shay-in wahum yatloona alkitabakathalika qala allatheena layaAAlamoona mithla qawlihim faAllahu yahkumubaynahum yawma alqiyamati feema kanoo feehiyakhtalifoona

The AYA says:
And the Jews said: the Christians are not on anything (of good). And said the Christians: the Jews are not on anything (of good), and they (both) recite and follow the book!! So said the people that don’t know similar to their (Christians and Jews) saying. So, the GOD will judge with utmost fairness between them on the day of judgemet in what they differed/diverged/discorded.

My personal note:
This AYA talks to all of us that we should not indulge on who is on any good (in direction) or not. For the judge is GOD. Indulging in such talk is similar to the talk of the people that lack knowledge. People of knowledge are not expected to indulge in such talk.
