In plain wordsEditorial
An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.
Eight verses turning on a clear evidence that came - the evidence this surah is named for - after which those who had been given the Book divided among themselves. It says that what was commanded was worship, prayer and alms, and it ends by setting the worst of creatures against the best.

Counted from the text and the spine at build time, not written into the page. Opening letters are derived from the edition's orthography: an opening token of at most five letters carrying none of its vocalisation marks. The revelation position is reproduced from Revelation order as encoded by the Tanzil metadata, which does not name whose ordering it is.
