98:1

لَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنفَكِّينَ حَتَّىٰ تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَةُ ﴿١﴾

Lam yakuni alladhīna kafarū min ahli al-kitābi wal-mushrikīna munfakkīna ḥattā taʾtiyahumu al-bayyinah

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,

رَسُولٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ يَتْلُوا۟ صُحُفًا مُّطَهَّرَةً ﴿٢﴾

Rasūlun mina Allāhi yatlū ṣuḥufan muṭahharah

A messenger from Allah, reading purified pages

98:3

فِيهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌ ﴿٣﴾

Fīhā kutubun qayyimah

Containing correct scriptures.

98:4

وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَةُ ﴿٤﴾

Wamā tafarraqa alladhīna ūtū al-kitāba illā min baʿdi mā jāʾathumu al-bayyinah

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

98:5

وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓا۟ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ حُنَفَآءَ وَيُقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ ٱلْقَيِّمَةِ ﴿٥﴾

Wamā umirū illā liyaʿbudū Allāha mukhliṣīna lahu ad-dīna ḥunafāʾa wayuqīmū aṣ-ṣalāta wayuʾtū az-zakāta wadhālika dīnu al-qayyimah

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.

98:6

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ ٱلْبَرِيَّةِ ﴿٦﴾

Inna alladhīna kafarū min ahli al-kitābi wal-mushrikīna fī nāri jahannama khālidīna fīhā ulāʾika hum sharru al-bariyyah

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.

98:7

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ ٱلْبَرِيَّةِ ﴿٧﴾

Inna alladhīna āmanū waʿamilū aṣ-ṣāliḥāti ulāʾika hum khayru al-bariyyah

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

98:8

جَزَآؤُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ۖ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِىَ رَبَّهُۥ ﴿٨﴾

Jazāʾuhum ʿinda rabbihim jannātu ʿadnin tajrī min taḥtihā al-anhāru khālidīna fīhā abadan raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhum waraḍū ʿanhu dhālika liman khashiya rabbah

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.
