98. Surah Al-Bayyinah The Evidence

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, Most Merciful

لَمْ يَكُنِ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْـكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِك۪ينَ مُنْفَكّ۪ينَ حَتّٰى تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُۙ

Lam yakuni allatheena kafaroo min ahlialkitabi walmushrikeena munfakkeena hattata/tiyahumu albayyina

The People of the Book who are kafir and the mushrikun would not be cut off until the Clear Sign came to them:

رَسُولٌ مِنَ اللّٰهِ يَتْلُوا صُحُفاً مُطَهَّرَةًۙ

Rasoolun mina Allahi yatloo suhufanmutahhara

a Messenger from Allah reciting purified texts

ف۪يهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌۜ

Feeha kutubun qayyima

containing upright precepts.

وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْـكِتَابَ اِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَٓاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُۜ

Wama tafarraqa allatheena ootooalkitaba illa min baAAdi ma jaat-humualbayyina

Those who were given the Book did not divide into sects until after the Clear Sign came to them.

وَمَٓا اُمِرُٓوا اِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مُخْلِص۪ينَ لَهُ الدّ۪ينَ حُنَفَٓاءَ وَيُق۪يمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَذٰلِكَ د۪ينُ الْقَيِّمَةِۜ

Wama omiroo illa liyaAAbudooAllaha mukhliseena lahu addeena hunafaawayuqeemoo assalata wayu/too azzakatawathalika deenu alqayyima

They were only ordered to worship Allah, making their deen sincerely His as people of pure natural belief, and to establish salat and pay zakat – that is the deen of the correct.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْـكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِك۪ينَ ف۪ي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَاۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِۜ

Inna allatheena kafaroo min ahli alkitabiwalmushrikeena fee nari jahannama khalideenafeeha ola-ika hum sharru albariyya

The People of the Book who are kafir and the idolaters will be in the Fire of Hell, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. They are the worst of creatures.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِۙ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِۜ

Inna allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati ola-ika humkhayru albariyya

But those who have iman and do right actions – they are the best of creatures.

جَزَٓاؤُ۬هُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَٓا اَبَداًۜ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُۜ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ رَبَّهُ

Jazaohum AAinda rabbihim jannatuAAadnin tajree min tahtiha al-anharu khalideenafeeha abadan radiya Allahu AAanhum waradooAAanhu thalika liman khashiya rabbah

Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. That is for those who fear their Lord.
