Those of the People of the Book and the idolaters who disbelieve did not fall away until there came to them the Manifest Sign -

A Messenger from Allah reading pure pages

Wherein are right scriptures:
4
Nor did those who were given the Book divide into sects until after there came to them the Manifest Sign.
5
But they were bidden nothing but to worship Allah, being sincere in religion unto Him as 'Hanifs', and to be steadfast in prayer, and to give alms: for that is the true religion.
6
Verily, those who disbelieve amongst the people of the Book and the idolaters shall be in the fire of hell, to dwell therein for aye; they are wretched creatures!
7
Verily, those who believe and act aright, they are the best of creatures;
8
Their reward with their Lord is Gardens of Eden, beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein for aye; Allah shall be well pleased with them, and they with Him! That is for him who fears his Lord!
