AL BAYYINAH
In the name of God, Most Gracious,
Most Merciful.
98-1
Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and
among the Polytheists, were not going to depart (from their ways) until there should
come to them Clear Evidence,-
98-2
An apostle from God, rehearsing scriptures kept pure and
holy:
98-3
Wherein are laws (or decrees) right and straight.
98-4
Nor did the People of the Book make schisms, until after
there came to them Clear Evidence.
98-5
And they have been commanded no more than this: To worship
God, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to establish regular
prayer; and to practise regular charity; and that is the Religion Right and
Straight.
98-6
Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and
among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They
are the worst of creatures.
98-7
Those who have faith and do righteous deeds,- they are the best of creatures.
98-8
Their reward is with God: Gardens of Eternity, beneath which
rivers flow; they will dwell therein for ever; God well pleased with them, and
they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher.
