98. Al-Bayyinah - The Clear Evidence
| 1 | The disbelieving People of the Book(s) and the polytheists would not have left their religion until the clear proof came to them. |
| 2 | (The clear proof is) the Noble Messenger from Allah, who reads the pure pages. |
| 3 | In which are written proper affairs. |
| 4 | Nor did the People of the Book(s) get divided until after the clear proof came to them. |
| 5 | And they were ordered only to worship Allah, believing purely in Him – devoted solely (to Him), and to establish the prayer and to pay the obligatory charity – and this is the straight religion. |
| 6 | Indeed all disbelievers, the People of the Book(s) and the polytheists, are in the fire of hell – they will remain in it for ever; it is they who are the worst among the creation. |
| 7 | Indeed those who accepted faith and did good deeds – it is they who are the best among the creation. |
| 8 | Their reward is – with their Lord – everlasting Gardens of Eden beneath which rivers flow, in which they will abide for ever and ever; Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him; this is for one who fears his Lord. |
