Sura 98

Surah 98. The Clear Proof, Evidence

98:1. Those who reject (Truth), among the People of The Book (Bible) and among the Polytheists, were not going to depart (from their ways) until there should come to them Clear Evidence,-
98:2. An Apostle from God, rehearsing Scriptures kept pure and holy:
98:3. Wherein are Laws (or Decrees) right and straight.
98:4. Nor did the People of The Book make schisms, until after there came to them Clear Evidence.
98:5. And they have been commanded no more than this: to worship God, offering Him sincere devotion, being True (in Faith); to establish constant Prayer (1 Thess. 5:17) and to practise regular Charity and that is the Religion (bonded obligation) Right and Straight.
98:6. Those who reject (Truth), among the People of The Book (Bible) and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for ever). They are the worst of creatures.
98:7. Those who have faith and do righteous deeds,- they are the best of creatures.
98:8. Their reward is with "I AM": Gardens of Eternity, beneath which Rivers flow; they will dwell therein for ever; "I AM" well-pleased with them, and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher.
