1 Lam yakuni allatheena kafaroo min ahli alkitabi waalmushrikeena munfakkeena hatta tatiyahumu albayyinatu

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters could not have left off (erring) till the clear proof came unto them,

2 Rasoolun mina Allahi yatloo suhufan mutahharatan

2 A messenger from Allah, reading purified pages

3 Feeha kutubun qayyimatun

3 Containing correct scriptures.

4 Wama tafarraqa allatheena ootoo alkitaba illa min baAAdi ma jaathumu albayyinatu

4 Nor were the People of the Scripture divided until after the clear proof came unto them.

5 Wama omiroo illa liyaAAbudoo Allaha mukhliseena lahu alddeena hunafaa wayuqeemoo alssalata wayutoo alzzakata wathalika deenu alqayyimati

5 And they are ordered naught else than to serve Allah, keeping religion pure for Him, as men by nature upright, and to establish worship and to pay the poor - due. That is true religion.

6 Inna allatheena kafaroo min ahli alkitabi waalmushrikeena fee nari jahannama khalideena feeha olaika hum sharru albariyyati

6 Lo! those who disbelieve, among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters, will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings.

7 Inna allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati olaika hum khayru albariyyati

7 (And) lo! those who believe and do good works are the best of created beings.

8 Jazaohum AAinda rabbihim jannatu AAadnin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha abadan radiya Allahu AAanhum waradoo AAanhu thalika liman khashiya rabbahu

8 Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow, wherein they dwell for ever. Allah hath pleasure in them and they have pleasure in Him. This is (in store) for him who feareth his Lord.
