Al-Bayyinah

لَمۡ يَكُنِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ مُنفَكِّينَ حَتَّىٰ تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَةُ ١

Lam yakunil-ladhīna kafarū min ahlil-kitābi wal-mushrikīna munfakkīna ḥattā taʾtiyahumul-bayyinah.

Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists were not to be parted [from misbelief]¹ until there came to them clear evidence –

رَسُولٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ يَتۡلُواْ صُحُفٗا مُّطَهَّرَةٗ ٢

Rasūlum minallāhi yatlū ṣuḥufam muṭahharah.

A Messenger from Allāh, reciting purified¹ scriptures

فِيهَا كُتُبٞ قَيِّمَةٞ ٣

Fīhā kutubun qayyimah.

Within which are correct writings [i.e., rulings and laws].

وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَةُ ٤

Wa mā tafarraqal-ladhīna ūtul-kitāba illā mim baʿdi mā jāʾathumul-bayyinah.

Nor did those who were given the Scripture become divided¹ until after there had come to them clear evidence.

وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓاْ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ حُنَفَآءَ وَيُقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤۡتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَۚ وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ ٱلۡقَيِّمَةِ ٥

Wa mā umirū illā liyaʿbudullāha mukhliṣīna lahud-dīna ḥunafāʾa wa yuqīmuṣ-ṣalāta wa yuʾtuz-zakāh, wa dhālika dīnul-qayyimah.

And they were not commanded except to worship Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakāh. And that is the correct religion.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمۡ شَرُّ ٱلۡبَرِيَّةِ ٦

Innal-ladhīna kafarū min ahlil-kitābi wal-mushrikīna fī nāri jahannama khālidīna fīhā, ulāʾika hum sharrul-bariyyah.

Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمۡ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡبَرِيَّةِ ٧

Innal-ladhīna āmanū wa ʿamiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti ulāʾika hum khayrul-bariyyah.

Indeed, they who have believed and done righteous deeds - those are the best of creatures.

جَزَآؤُهُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّٰتُ عَدۡنٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدٗاۖ رَّضِيَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَرَضُواْ عَنۡهُۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنۡ خَشِيَ رَبَّهُۥ ٨

Jazāʾuhum ʿinda rabbihim jannātu ʿadnin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru khālidīna fīhā abadā, raḍiyallāhu ʿanhum wa raḍū ʿanh, dhālika liman khashiya rabbah.

Their reward with their Lord will be gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allāh being pleased with them and they with Him. That is for whoever has feared his Lord.
