1
Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, were not going to depart (from their ways) until there should come to them Clear Evidence-
2
A messenger from Allah, rehearsing scriptures kept pure and Holy:
3
Wherein are laws (or decrees) right and straight.
4
Nor did the People of the Book make schisms, until after there came to them Clear Evidence.
5
And they have been commanded no more than this: to worship Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being True (in Faith); to establish regular Prayer; and to practise regular Charity; and that is the Religion right and straight.
6
Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures.
7
Those who have Faith and do righteous deeds, they are the best of creatures.
8
Their reward is with Allah: Gardens of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein forever; Allah well pleased with them, and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher.
