Sura Xcviii. Baiyina, Or The Clear Evidence

*
"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

p. 1767

Sra Xcviii.

\"BAIYINA," Or The Clear Evidence.

In the name of God, Most Gracious,

Most Merciful.

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 God,

Rehearsing scriptures

Kept pure and holy:

3.
Wherein are laws (or decrees)

Right and straight.

4.
Nor did the People

Of the Book

p. 1768

Make schisms,

Until after there came

To them Clear Evidence.

5.
And they have been commanded

No more than this:

To worship God,

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.

p. 1769

8. Their reward is with God:


Gardens of Eternity,

Beneath which rivers flow;

They will dwell therein

For ever; God well pleased

With them, and they with Him;

All this for such as

Fear their Lord and Cherisher.
