42:8

وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَهُمْ أُمَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ وَلَـٰكِن يُدْخِلُ مَن يَشَآءُ فِى رَحْمَتِهِۦ ۚ وَٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ مَا لَهُم مِّن وَلِىٍّۢ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ ٨

And if Allah willed, He could have made them [of] one religion, but He admits whom He wills into His mercy. And the wrongdoers have not any protector or helper.

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

وَلَوْ شَاء اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَهُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةًAnd if Allah had willed, He could have made them one nation,means, either all following guidance or all following misguidance, but He made them all different, and He guides whomsoever He wills to the truth and He sends astray whomsoever He wills, and He has complete wisdom and perfect proof.Allah says:وَلَكِن يُدْخِلُ مَن يَشَاء فِي رَحْمَتِهِوَالظَّالِمُونَ مَا لَهُم مِّن وَلِيٍّ وَلَاا نَصِيرٍbut He admits whom He wills to His mercy. And the wrongdoers will have neither a protector nor a helper.
