Sura 98: Proof
(Al-Bayyinah)
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

---

لم يكن الذين كفروا من اهل الكتاب والمشركين منفكين حتى تاتيهم البينة

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.*

---

رسول من الله يتلو صحفا مطهرة

A messenger from GOD is reciting to them sacred instructions.*

---

فيها كتب قيمة

In them there are valuable teachings.

---

وما تفرق الذين اوتوا الكتاب الا من بعد ما جاءتهم البينة

In fact, those who received the scripture did not dispute until the proof was given to them.

---

وما امروا الا ليعبدوا الله مخلصين له الدين حنفاء ويقيموا الصلاة ويؤتوا الزكاة وذلك دين القيمة

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.

---

ان الذين كفروا من اهل الكتاب والمشركين في نار جهنم خالدين فيها اولئك هم شر البرية

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.

---

ان الذين امنوا وعملوا الصالحات اولئك هم خير البرية

Those who believed and led a righteous life are the best creatures.

---

جزاؤهم عند ربهم جنات عدن تجري من تحتها الانهار خالدين فيها ابدا رضي الله عنهم ورضوا عنه ذلك لمن خشي ربه

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.
