Similar were the blessed people who believed in and followed the previous Scriptures. ### Sam Gerrans — The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation And those who believe in what was sent down to thee, and what was sent down before thee, and of the Hereafter they are certain: ### The Monotheist Group — The Quran: A Monotheist Translation And those who believe in what was sent down to you, and what was sent down before you, and regarding the Hereafter they are certain. ### Rashad Khalifa — The Final Testament And they believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you , and with regard to the Hereafter, they are absolutely certain. ### Mohamed Ahmed - Samira Who believe in what has been revealed to you and what was revealed to those before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. ### Sahih International — (Umm Muhammad, Mary Kennedy, Amatullah Bantley) And who believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muúammad], and what was revealed before you, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith]. ### Muhammad Asad And who believe in that which has been bestowed from on high upon thee, [O Prophet,] as well as in that which was bestowed before thy time: for it is they who in their innermost are certain of the life to come! ### Marmaduke Pickthall And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter. ### Abul A'la Maududi — Tafhim commentary who believe in what has been revealed to you and what was revealed before you,[1] and have firm faith in the Hereafter.[2] _Footnotes_ - [1] The fifth requirement is that one should believe in the Books revealed by God to His Prophets in the various ages and regions of the world, in the Book revealed to Muhammad (peace be on him) as well as in those revealed to the other Prophets who preceded him. The door of the Qur'an is closed to all those who do not consider it necessary for man to receive guidance from God. It is also closed to those who, even if they believe in the need for such guidance, do not consider it necessary to seek it through the channel of revelation and prophethood, but would rather weave their own set of ideas and concepts and regard them as equivalent to Divine Guidance. This door is also closed to those who believe in Divine books as such, but confine this belief to those books accepted by their forefathers, and spurn Divine Guidance revealed to anyone born beyond their own racial and national boundaries. The Qur'an excludes all such people and is prepared to open the source of its grace only to those who believe that mankind does require Divine Guidance, who acknowledge that this guidance does not come to people individually but reaches them through Prophets and Divine Books and who are not given to racial or national chauvinism but are devotees of Truth alone, and are therefore prepared to submit to Divine Guidance wherever it be found. - [2] Belief in the After-life is the sixth and last requirement. The term al-Akhirah embraces a whole set of ideas: (i) that man is not an irresponsible being, but is answerable to God for all his conduct in this world; (ii) that the present order of the world is not timeless, but will come to an end at an appointed hour known only to God; (iii) that when this world comes to an end God will bring into being another world in which He will resurrect, at one and the same moment, all the human beings ever born on earth. He will gather them together, examine their conduct and grant each one just reward for his actions; (iv) that those who are accounted good in God's judgement will be sent to Heaven, and those judged by Him as evil-doers will be consigned to Hell; (v) that the real measure of success and failure is not one's prosperity in the present life, but one's success or failure according to God's judgement in the Next. Those who do not accept this set of beliefs can derive no benefit from the Qur'an. For if a man is merely in a state of doubt and hesitation with regard to these matters - let alone disbelieving them - he cannot advance even one step forward along the path charted out by the Qur'an. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab Who faithfully believe in all that has been revealed to you, O Muhammad, -the Quran- way of life, religious and spiritual virtues and all that has been enjoined, crediting all revelations to those sent before you in AL-Tawrah (the Torah) and AL-Injil (the Bible) and the like, affirming the certainty of the Hereafter. ### Bijan Moeinian The above mentioned people are those who believe in this book (Qur’an) that I (God) have revealed to you (Mohammad) as well as the (original) Books that I had revealed to the prophets before you [which do not exist any more as they have been tampered with or partially/ totally lost] and firmly believe in the (existence of) Hereafter. ### Al-Hilali & Khan And who believe in (the Qur’ân and the Sunnah )[1] which has been sent down (revealed) to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) and in that which was sent down before you [the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), etc.] and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter.
