The surah discusses how disbelievers from the people of the book and polytheists would not separate until clear evidence came to them in the form of a messenger from God reciting pure scriptures containing right ordinances. It also notes that those given scripture only divided after clear evidence came and that they were only commanded to worship God alone and establish prayers and charity. Finally, it states that disbelievers will be in hell while believers who do good works will be rewarded with gardens of paradise.
