لَمْ یَكُنِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ وَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ مُنْفَكِّیْنَ حَتّٰی تَاْتِیَهُمُ الْبَیِّنَةُۙ۝۱

THOSE AMONG THE people of the Book who disbelieve, and the idolaters, would not have been freed (from false beliefs) until the clear proof came to them --

رَسُوْلٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ یَتْلُوْا صُحُفًا مُّطَهَّرَةًۙ۝۲

An Apostle from God, reading out hallowed pages

فِیْهَا كُتُبٌ قَیِّمَةٌؕ۝۳

Containing firm decrees.

وَ مَا تَفَرَّقَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ الْبَیِّنَةُؕ۝۴

The people of the Book were not divided among themselves till after the clear proof had come to them.

وَ مَاۤ اُمِرُوْۤا اِلَّا لِیَعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصِیْنَ لَهُ الدِّیْنَ ۙ۬ حُنَفَآءَ وَ یُقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ یُؤْتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَ ذٰلِكَ دِیْنُ الْقَیِّمَةِؕ۝۵

They were commanded only to serve God with all-exclusive faith in Him, to be upright, and to fulfil their devotional obligations, and to give zakat; for this is the even way.

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ وَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ فِیْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِیَّةِؕ۝۶

Surely the unbelievers among the people of the Book and the idolaters, will abide in the fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ۙ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمْ خَیْرُ الْبَرِیَّةِؕ۝۷

But those who believe and do the right are surely the best of created beings,

جَزَآؤُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اَبَدًا ؕ رَضِیَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ وَ رَضُوْا عَنْهُ ؕ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِیَ رَبَّهٗ۠۝۸

Whose reward is with their Lord -- gardens of Eden with rivers flowing by, where they will abide for ever, God pleased with their service, they with obedience to Him. This (awaits) him who stands in awe of his Lord.
