Surah 98 - Al Bayyinah THE CLEAR EVIDENCE

098.001 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,-

098.002 An apostle from God, rehearsing scriptures kept pure and holy:

098.003 Wherein are laws (or decrees) right and straight.

098.004 Nor did the People of the Book make schisms, until after there came to them Clear Evidence.

098.005 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.

098.006 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.

098.007 Those who have faith and do righteous deeds,- they are the best of creatures.

098.008 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.

099.004 On that Day will she declare her tidings:

099.005 For that thy Lord will have given her inspiration.

099.006 On that Day will men proceed in companies sorted out, to be shown the deeds that they (had done).

099.007 Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight of good, see it!

099.008 And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil, shall see it.

104.009 In columns outstretched.
