98 - The Clear Evidence |
| |
|
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. |
| |
| |
| 1 | Those who disbelieve, 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,- |
| |
| 2 | Messenger from Allah, rehearsing scriptures kept pure and holy: |
| |
| 3 | Wherein are books right and straight. |
| |
| 4 | Nor did the People of the Book make schisms, until after there came to them Clear Evidence. |
| |
| 5 | And they have been commanded no more than this: to worship Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to establish regular prayer; and to give Zakat; and that is the Religion Right and Straight. |
| |
| 6 | Those who disbelieve, 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. |
| |
| 7 | Those who have faith and do righteous deeds,- they are the best of creatures. |
| |
| 8 | Their reward is with Allah. Gardens of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein for ever; Allah well pleased with them, and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher. |
