Al-Bayyinah

لَمْ يَكُنِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنفَكِّينَ حَتَّىٰ تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ ١

The disbelievers from amongst the People of the Book and the idolaters would not desist (from disbelief) until clear proof came to them.

رَسُولٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ يَتْلُو صُحُفًا مُّطَهَّرَةً ٢

That (proof) is the (last) Messenger from Allah, who recites (to them) holy pages (of the Glorious Qur’an),

فِيهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌ ٣

In which are (written) correct and firm commandments.

وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ ٤

These People of the Book did not dissent amongst themselves (with regard to believing in the Prophethood and Messengership of the Last Messenger and recognizing his holy status), until after the clear proof (of the Prophethood of Muhammad [blessings and peace be upon him]) had come to them. (Then, they broke up: some of them accepted belief in him whilst others became deniers and disbelievers out of jealousy,)

وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ حُنَفَاءَ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ الْقَيِّمَةِ ٥

Whereas they were commanded to worship only Allah, making their Din (faith and devotion) sincerely His (dissociating from every falsehood) to establish Prayer and to pay Zakat (the Alms-due) regularly. And this is the straight and firm Din (Religion).

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ ٦

Indeed, those who disbelieve from amongst the People of the Book and the polytheists (all) will be (abiding) in the Fire of Hell. They are its permanent dwellers. It is they who are the worst of the creation.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ ٧

Indeed, those who believe and keep doing pious actions, it is they who are the best of the creation.

جَزَاؤُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ۖ رَّضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ رَبَّهُ ٨

Their reward is the Gardens of eternal living in the presence of their Lord, with streams flowing under them. They will live in them forever. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. This (status) is meant for the one who fears his Lord.
