~ٱلْبَيِّنَة~‎
Surah Al-Bayyinah

The disbelievers among the People of the Book and the polytheists would not abandon their ways until the clear proof came—a Messenger reciting purified scriptures with upright teachings—then people split after the proof. The surah commands sincere religion for Allah, and distinguishes the worst and the best of creation with their everlasting reward.
