لَمۡ lam Not يَكُنِ yakuni were ٱلَّذِينَ alladhīna those who كَفَرُواْ kafarū disbelieved مِنۡ min from أَهۡلِ ahli (the) People ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ l-kitābi of the Book وَٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ wal-mush'rikīna and the polytheists مُنفَكِّينَ munfakkīna to be abandoned حَتَّىٰ ḥattā until تَأۡتِيَهُمُ tatiyahumu (there) comes to them ٱلۡبَيِّنَةُ l-bayinatu the clear evidence
lam yakuni alladhīna kafarū min ahli l-kitābi wal-mush'rikīna munfakkīna ḥattā tatiyahumu l-bayinatu
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:
رَسُولٞ rasūlun A Messenger مِّنَ mina from ٱللَّهِ l-lahi Allah يَتۡلُواْ yatlū reciting صُحُفٗا ṣuḥufan pages مُّطَهَّرَةٗ muṭahharatan purified
rasūlun mina l-lahi yatlū ṣuḥufan muṭahharatan
a messenger from Allah, reciting scrolls of ˹utmost˺ purity,
فِيهَا fīhā Wherein كُتُبٞ kutubun (are) writings قَيِّمَةٞ qayyimatun correct
fīhā kutubun qayyimatun
containing upright commandments.
وَمَا wamā And not تَفَرَّقَ tafarraqa became divided ٱلَّذِينَ alladhīna those who أُوتُواْ ūtū were given ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ l-kitāba the Book إِلَّا illā until مِنۢ min from بَعۡدِ baʿdi after مَا mā what جَآءَتۡهُمُ jāathumu came (to) them ٱلۡبَيِّنَةُ l-bayinatu (of) the clear evidence
wamā tafarraqa alladhīna ūtū l-kitāba illā min baʿdi mā jāathumu l-bayinatu
It was not until this clear proof came to the People of the Book that they became divided ˹about his prophethood˺—
وَمَآ wamā And not أُمِرُوٓاْ umirū they were commanded إِلَّا illā except لِيَعۡبُدُواْ liyaʿbudū to worship ٱللَّهَ l-laha Allah مُخۡلِصِينَ mukh'liṣīna (being) sincere لَهُ lahu to Him ٱلدِّينَ l-dīna (in) the religion حُنَفَآءَ ḥunafāa upright وَيُقِيمُواْ wayuqīmū and to establish ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ l-ṣalata the prayer وَيُؤۡتُواْ wayu'tū and to give ٱلزَّكَوٰةَۚ l-zakata the zakah وَذَٰلِكَ wadhālika And that دِينُ dīnu (is the) religion ٱلۡقَيِّمَةِ l-qayimati the correct
wamā umirū illā liyaʿbudū l-laha mukh'liṣīna lahu l-dīna ḥunafāa wayuqīmū l-ṣalata wayu'tū l-zakata wadhālika dīnu l-qayimati
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.
