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― |
|
2. |
A messenger from Allah, rehearsing scriptures kept pure and holy: |
|
3. |
Wherein are laws (or decrees) 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 practise regular Charity; and that is the Religion Right and Straight. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
