Sura 98, Proof (Al-Bayyinah)
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
[98:1] Those who disbelieved among the people of the scripture, as
well as the idol worshipers, insist on their ways, despite the
proof given to them.*
Footnote
[98:2] A messenger from GOD is reciting to them sacred
instructions.*
Footnote
[98:3] In them there are valuable teachings.
[98:4] In fact, those who received the scripture did not dispute
until the proof was given to them.
[98:5] All that was asked of them was to worship GOD, devoting the
religion absolutely to Him alone, observe the contact prayers
(Salat), and give the obligatory charity (Zakat). Such is the
perfect religion.
[98:6] Those who disbelieved among the people of the scripture,
and the idol worshipers, have incurred the fire of Gehenna
forever. They are the worst creatures.
[98:7] Those who believed and led a righteous life are the best
creatures.
[98:8] Their reward at their Lord is the gardens of Eden with
flowing streams, wherein they abide forever. GOD is pleased with
them, and they are pleased with Him. Such is the reward for those
who reverence their Lord.
