1.  *     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:
 
2.  *     An messenger from Allah, reciting pure pages,
 
3.  *     Wherein are all the right ordinances.
 
4.  *     And those who were given the Book did not become divided except after clear evidence had come to them.
 
5.  *     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.
 
6.  *     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.
 
7.  *     (As for) those who believe and do good, surely they are the -best of men.
 
8.  *     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.
