Al-Bayyinah (Surah 98)
Al-Bayyinah (The Clear Proof)
Madni SurahIntroduction
According to this Medinian sûrah, the Prophet (ﷺ) was sent so the disbelievers may change their ways and devote their worship to Allah alone. Those who believe are promised a great reward, whereas those who persist in disbelief are warned of a horrible punishment. The judgment of the believers and disbelievers is the highlight of the next sûrah. In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
The Prophet Is the Clear Proof
1. The disbelievers from the People of the Book and the polytheists were not going to desist (from disbelief) until the clear proof came to them: 2. a messenger from Allah, reciting scrolls of (utmost) purity, 3. containing upright commandments. 4. It was not until this clear proof came to the People of the Book that they became divided (about his prophethood)— 5. even though they were only commanded to worship Allah (alone) with sincere devotion to Him in all uprightness, establish prayer, and pay alms-tax. That is the upright Way.

Fate of the Deniers
6. Indeed, those who disbelieve from the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the Fire of Hell, to stay there forever. They are the worst of (all) beings.

Fate of the Believers
7. Indeed, those who believe and do good—they are the best of (all) beings. 8. Their reward with their Lord will be Gardens of Eternity, under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. This is (only) for those in awe of their Lord.
