Muhsin Khan And the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) differed not until after there came to them clear evidence. (i.e. Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and whatever was revealed to him). Yusuf Ali Nor did the People of the Book make schisms, until after there came to them Clear Evidence. Dr. Ghali And in no way did the ones to whom the Book was brought (become) disunited, except ever after the Supreme Evidence came up to them. Tafsir al-Jalalayn And those who were given the Scripture did not become divided, regarding belief in him [the Prophet] (s), except after the clear proof had come to them, namely, the Prophet (s) — or the Qur’?n which he brought as his miracle.

Yusuf Ali And they have been commanded no more than this: To worship Allah, 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. Dr. Ghali And in no way were they commanded anything except to worship Allah, making the religion His faithfully (and) unswerving, and to keep up prayer, and bring the Zakat; (i.e., pay the poor-dues) and that is the Religion most upright. Tafsir al-Jalalayn And they were only commanded, in their Scripture, the Torah and the Gospel, to worship God (ill? li-ya‘bud? means ill? an ya‘bud?, an having been omitted and the l?m added) devoting religion purely to Him, [free] of any idolatry, as han?fs, upright in [following] the religion of Abraham and the religion of Muhammad (s), when he would come — so how is it that they disbelieved in him?, and to establish prayer and pay the alms.

Muhsin Khan Verily, those who believe [in the Oneness of Allah, and in His Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) including all obligations ordered by Islam] and do righteous good deeds, they are the best of creatures. Yusuf Ali Those who have faith and do righteous deeds,- they are the best of creatures. Dr. Ghali Surely (the ones) who have believed and done deeds of righteousness, those are they who are the most charitable (i.e., best) of beings. Tafsir al-Jalalayn Truly those who believe and perform righteous deeds — they are the best of creatures (al-bariyya means al-khal?qa). | | 98:8 | Transliteration Jazaohum AAinda rabbihim jannatuAAadnin tajree min tahtiha al-anharu khalideenafeeha abadan radiya Allahu AAanhum waradooAAanhu thalika liman khashiya rabbah Sahih International Their reward with Allah will be gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allah being pleased with them and they with Him. That is for whoever has feared his Lord. Muhsin Khan Their reward with their Lord is 'Adn (Eden) Paradise (Gardens of Eternity), underneath which rivers flow, they will abide therein forever, Allah Well-Pleased with them, and they with Him. That is for him who fears his Lord. Yusuf Ali Their reward is with Allah: Gardens of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein for ever; Allah well pleased with them, and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher. Dr. Ghali Their recompense is with their Lord: Gardens of Adn (Eden) from beneath which rivers run, eternally (abiding) therein forever. Allah is satisfied with them, and they are satisfied with Him. That is for him who is apprehensive of his Lord. Tafsir al-Jalalayn Their reward with their Lord will be Gardens of Eden, as a residence, underneath which rivers flow, wherein they shall abide forever. God is pleased with them, because of [their] obedience of Him, and they are pleased with Him, because of His reward. That is [the reward] for him who fears his Lord, [for him] who fears His punishment and hence desists from disobeying Him, exalted be He. |
