98. Al-Bayyinah
- لَمْ یَكُنِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ وَالْمُشْرِكِیْنَ مُنْفَكِّیْنَ حَتّٰی تَاْتِیَهُمُ الْبَیِّنَةُ ۟ۙThose who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists were not to be parted [from misbelief] until there came to them clear evidence –
- رَسُوْلٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ یَتْلُوْا صُحُفًا مُّطَهَّرَةً ۟ۙA Messenger from Allāh, reciting purified scriptures
- فِیْهَا كُتُبٌ قَیِّمَةٌ ۟ؕWithin which are correct writings [i.e., rulings and laws].
- وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ اِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ الْبَیِّنَةُ ۟ؕNor did those who were given the Scripture become divided until after there had come to them clear evidence.
- وَمَاۤ اُمِرُوْۤا اِلَّا لِیَعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصِیْنَ لَهُ الدِّیْنَ ۙ۬ حُنَفَآءَ وَیُقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَیُؤْتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَذٰلِكَ دِیْنُ الْقَیِّمَةِ ۟ؕAnd they were not commanded except to worship Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakāh. And that is the correct religion.
- اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ وَالْمُشْرِكِیْنَ فِیْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِیَّةِ ۟ؕIndeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures.
- اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ۙ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمْ خَیْرُ الْبَرِیَّةِ ۟ؕIndeed, they who have believed and done righteous deeds - those are the best of creatures.
- جَزَآؤُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اَبَدًا ؕ رَضِیَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوْا عَنْهُ ؕ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِیَ رَبَّهٗ ۟۠Their reward with their Lord will be gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allāh being pleased with them and they with Him. That is for whoever has feared his Lord.
