بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
BISMIL LAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHEEM
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful
لَمْ يَكُنِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ وَالْمُشْرِكِيْنَ مُنْفَكِّيْنَ حَتّٰى تَاْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ ۙ(1)
LAM YAKONIL LAZEENA KAFAROO MIN AHLIL KETAABE WAL-MUSHREKEENA MUN-FAKKEENA HATTA TAA-TEYAHOMUL BAYYENATO.
The faithless from among the People of the Book and the polytheists were not set apart [from the community of the faithful] until the proof had come to them:
رَسُوْلٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ يَتْلُوْا صُحُفًا مُّطَهَّرَةً ۙ(2)
RASOOLUM MENAL LAAHE YATLOO SOHOFAM MOTAHHARATAN.
an apostle from Allah reciting impeccable scriptures,
فِيْهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌ ؕ(3)
FEEHAA KOTOBUN QAYYEMAH.
wherein are upright writings.
وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ ؕ(4)
WA MAA TAFARRAQAL LAZEENA OOTUL KETAABA ILLAA MIM BA’DE MAA JAA-AT-HOMUL BAYYENAH.
Those who were given the Book did not divide except after the proof had come to them.
وَمَاۤ اُمِرُوْۤا اِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصِيْنَ لَهُ الدِّيْنَ ۙ حُنَفَآءَ وَيُقِيْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَذٰلِكَ دِيْنُ الْقَيِّمَةِ ؕ(5)
WA MAAA OMEROO ILLAA LE-YA’BODUL LAAHA MUKHLESEENA LAHUD DEENA, HONAFAAA-A WA YOQEEMUS SALAATA WA YOA-TUZ ZAKAATA WA ZAALEKA DEENUL QAYYEMAH.
Though they were not commanded except to worship Allah, dedicating their faith to Him as men of pure faith, and to maintain the prayer and pay the zakat. That is the upright religion.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ وَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ فِىْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا ؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ ؕ(6)
INNAL LAZEENA KAFAROO MIN AHLIL KETAABE WAL-MUSHREKEENA FEE NAARE JAHANNAMA KHAALEDEENA FEEHAA, OO-LAAA-EKA HUM SHARRUL BARIYYAH.
Indeed the faithless from among the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the fire of hell, to remain in it [forever]. It is they who are the worst of creatures.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۙ اُولٰٓئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ ؕ(7)
INNAL LAZEENA AAMANOO WA A’MELUS SAALEHAATE, OO-LAAA-EKA HUM KHAYRUL BARIYYAH.
Indeed those who have faith and do righteous deeds—it is they who are the best of creatures.
جَزَآؤُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِىْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَاۤ اَبَدًا ؕ رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوْا عَنْهُ ؕ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِىَ رَبَّهٗ(8)
JA-ZAAA-OHUM I’NDA RABBEHIM JANNAATO A’DNIN TAJREE MIN TAHTEHAL ANHAARO KHAALEDEENA FEEHAA ABADAA, RAZEYAL LAAHO A’NHUM WA RAZOO A’NH, ZAALEKA LEMAN KHASHEYA RABBAH.
Their reward, near their Lord, is the Gardens of Eden, with streams running in them, to remain in them forever. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. That is for those who fear their Lord.
