"Ali: 1Those 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,- 2An messenger from Allah, rehearsing scriptures kept pure and holy: 3Wherein are laws (or decrees) right and straight. 4Nor did the People of the Book make schisms, until after there came to them Clear Evidence. 5And they have been commanded no more than this: To worship Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to establish regular prayer(to Allah), practise regular charity (according to Islam); and that is the Religion Right and Straight. 6Those 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. 7Those who have faith and do righteous deeds,- they are the best of creatures. 8Their 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."
