Ayah Text in عربي, English (Yusuf Ali translation), عربي (بدون تشكيل) and transliteration
1

Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, were not going to depart (from their ways) until there should come to them Clear Evidence,-
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم لم يكن الذين كفروا من أهل الكتاب والمشركين منفكين حتى تأتيهم البينة
Lam ya kunil lazeena kafaru min ahlil kitaabi wal mushri keena mun fak keena hattaa ta-tiya humul bayyinah
2

An messenger from Allah, rehearsing scriptures kept pure and holy:
رسول من الله يتلو صحفا مطهرة
Rasoolum minal laahi yatlu suhufam mutahharah
3

Wherein are laws (or decrees) right and straight.
فيها كتب قيمة
Feeha kutubun qaiyimah
4

Nor did the People of the Book make schisms, until after there came to them Clear Evidence.
وما تفرق الذين أوتوا الكتاب إلا من بعد ما جاءتهم البينة
Wa maa tafarraqal lazeena ootul kitaaba il-la mim b’adi ma jaa-at humul baiyyinah
5

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.
وما أمروا إلا ليعبدوا الله مخلصين له الدين حنفاء ويقيموا الصلاة ويؤتوا الزكاة ۚ وذلك دين القيمة
Wa maa umiroo il-la liy’abu dul laaha mukhliseena lahud-deena huna faa-a wa yuqeemus salaahta wa yu-tuz zakaata; wa zaalika deenul qaiyimah
6

Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures.
إن الذين كفروا من أهل الكتاب والمشركين في نار جهنم خالدين فيها ۚ أولئك هم شر البرية
Innal lazeena kafaru min ahlil kitaabi wal mushri keena fee nari jahan nama khaali deena feeha; ulaa-ika hum shar rul ba reeyah
7

Those who have faith and do righteous deeds,- they are the best of creatures.
إن الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات أولئك هم خير البرية
Innal lazeena aamanu wa ‘amilus saalihaati ula-ika hum khairul bareey yah
8

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.
جزاؤهم عند ربهم جنات عدن تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها أبدا ۖ رضي الله عنهم ورضوا عنه ۚ ذلك لمن خشي ربه
Jazaa-uhum inda rabbihim jan naatu ‘adnin tajree min tahtihal an haaru khalideena feeha abada; radiy-yallaahu ‘anhum wa ra du ‘an zaalika liman khashiya rabbah.
