[Translation of 1 to 5] (XCVIII. Place of origin doubtful.) IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God. Those of the people of the Book and the idolaters who misbelieve did not fall off until there came to them the manifest sign,-- An apostle from God reading pure pages wherein are right scriptures: Nor did those who were given the Book divide into sects until after there came to them the manifest sign. But they were not bidden aught but to worship God, being sincere in religion unto Him as ‘Hanîfs, and to be steadfast in prayer, and to give alms: for that is the standard religion. |
