98  Clear Evidence  al-Bayyinah

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

1 Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture, and the Polytheists, were not apart, until the Clear Evidence came to them.

2 A messenger from God reciting purified scripts.

3 In them are valuable writings.

4 Those who were given the Scripture did not splinter, except after the Clear Evidence came to them.

5 They were commanded only to worship God, devoting their faith to Him alone, and to practice regular prayer, and to give alms. That is the upright religion.

6 Those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture, and the Polytheists, will be in the Fire of Hell, where they will abide forever. These are the worst of creatures.

7 As for those who believe and lead a righteous life-these are the best of creatures.

8 Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eternity beneath which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. God is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. That is for whoever fears His Lord.
