Those of the people of the Book and the idolaters who misbelieve did not fall off until there came to them the manifest sign, -
2
An apostle from God reading pure pages
3
wherein are right scriptures:
4
Nor did those who were given the Book divide into sects until after there came to them the manifest sign.
5
But they were not bidden aught but to worship God, being sincere in religion unto Him as Hanifs, and to be steadfast in prayer, and to give alms: for that is the standard religion.
6
Verily, those who disbelieve amongst the people of the Book and the idolaters shall be in the fire of hell, to dwell therein for aye; they are wretched creatures!
7
Verily, those who believe and act aright, they are the best of creatures;
8
their reward with their Lord is gardens of Eden, beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein for aye; God shall be well pleased with them, and they with Him! that is for him who fears his Lord!
