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.
Those who disbelieved from among the followers of the Book and the polytheists could not have separated (from the faithful) until there had come to them the clear evidence:
رَسُوْلٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ يَتْلُوْا صُحُفًا مُّطَهَّرَةً ۙ(2)
RASOOLUM MENAL LAAHE YATLOO SOHOFAM MOTAHHARATAN.
An apostle from Allah, reciting pure pages,
فِيْهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌ ؕ(3)
FEEHAA KOTOBUN QAYYEMAH.
Wherein are all the right ordinances.
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.
And those who were given the Book did not become divided except after clear evidence 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.
And they were not enjoined anything except that they should serve Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience, upright, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, and that is the right 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.
Surely those who disbelieve from among the followers of the Book and the polytheists shall be in the fire of hell, abiding therein; they are the worst of men.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۙ اُولٰٓئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ ؕ(7)
INNAL LAZEENA AAMANOO WA A’MELUS SAALEHAATE, OO-LAAA-EKA HUM KHAYRUL BARIYYAH.
(As for) those who believe and do good, surely they are the -best of men.
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 with their Lord is gardens of perpetuity beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein for ever; Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him; that is for him who fears his Lord.
