لَمْ يَكُنِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنفَكِّينَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ   

98.1 . Those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters could not have left off ( erring ) till the clear proof came unto them ,

رَسُولٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ يَتْلُو صُحُفاً مُّطَهَّرَةً   

98.2 . A messenger from Allah , reading purified pages

فِيهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌ   

98.3 . Containing correct scriptures .

وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ   

98.4 . Nor were the People of the Scripture divided until after the clear proof came unto them .

وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ حُنَفَاء وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَذَلِكَ دِينُ الْقَيِّمَةِ   

98.5 . And they are ordered naught else than to serve Allah , keeping religion pure for Him , as men by nature upright , and to establish worship and to pay the poor due . That is true religion .

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ   

98.6 . Lo! those who disbelieve , among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters , will abide in fire of hell . They are the worst of created beings .

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ أُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ   

98.7 . ( And ) lo! those who believe and do good works are the best of created beings .

جَزَاؤُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَداً رَّضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ رَبَّهُ   

98.8 . Their reward is with their Lord : Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow , wherein they dwell for ever . Allah hath pleasure in them and they have pleasure in Him . This is ( in store ) for him who feareth his Lord .
