The Meanings of the Holy Qur'an: Sura 98, "The Clear Proof, 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 God, rehearsing scriptures kept pure and holy:
|
{3}
Wherein are laws (or decrees) right and straight.
|
{4}
Nor did the People of the Book 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.
|
{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.
