1 Those who disbelieved from among the followers of the Book and the polytheists could not have separated (from the faithful) until there had come to them the clear evidence:

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 An apostle from Allah, reciting pure pages,

2 An messenger from Allah, rehearsing scriptures kept pure and holy:

3 Wherein are all the right ordinances.

3 Wherein are laws (or decrees) right and straight.

4 And those who were given the Book did not become divided except after clear evidence had come to them.

4 Nor did the People of the Book make schisms, until after there came to them Clear Evidence.

5 And they were not enjoined anything except that they should serve Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience, upright, and keep up prayer and pay the poor - rate, and that is the right religion.

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 Surely those who disbelieve from among the followers of the Book and the polytheists shall be in the fire of hell, abiding therein; they are the worst of men.

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 (As for) those who believe and do good, surely they are the - best of men.

7 Those who have faith and do righteous deeds, - they are the best of creatures.

8 Their reward with their Lord is gardens of perpetuity beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein for ever; Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him; that is for him who fears his Lord.

8 Their reward is with Allah: Gardens of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein for ever; Allah well pleased with them, and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher.
