About this surah

Classed as a Medinan sura, it begins by saying that the disbelievers among the People of the Book and the idolaters would not give up their ways until clear evidence came to them. That evidence is identified as a messenger from God reciting purified scriptures that contain upright writings. The sura adds that those who had received the Book divided only after the clear evidence reached them, though they had been commanded only to worship God with sincere and upright devotion, to establish prayer and to give alms — described as 'the upright religion'. It closes by setting two outcomes side by side. Those who disbelieve will remain forever in the Fire of Hell and are called the worst of creation, while those who believe and do righteous deeds are called the best of creatures and will live forever in Gardens of Eden; God is pleased with them and they with Him.

• The clear evidence
• People of the Book
• The upright religion
• Prayer and alms
• Two final outcomes

The name It is named after 'clear evidence' (al-Bayyinah) in verses 1 and 4, which verse 2 explains as a messenger from God.
