-
Those who reject (Truth), among thePeople of the Book and among the Polytheists, were not going to depart (fromtheir ways) until there should come to them Clear Evidence,-
-
An apostle from Allah, rehearsingscriptures kept pure and holy:
-
Wherein are laws (or decrees) right andstraight.
-
Nor did the People of the Book makeschisms, until after there came to them Clear Evidence.
-
And they have been commanded no morethan this: To worship Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (infaith); to establish regular prayer; and to practise regular charity; andthat is the Religion Right and Straight.
-
Those who reject (Truth), among thePeople of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwelltherein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures.
-
Those who have faith and do righteousdeeds,- they are the best of creatures.
-
Their reward is with Allah. Gardens ofEternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein for ever; Allahwell pleased with them, and they with Him: all this for such as fear theirLord and Cherisher.
