3:1
Alif, Lām, Mīm.
اَللّٰهُ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّوۡمُ ؕ ٢
3:2
Allāh! There is no god worthy of worship except Him, the Ever-Living, the All-Sustaining.
نَزَّلَ عَلَيۡكَ الۡكِتٰبَ بِالۡحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَاَنۡزَلَ التَّوۡرٰٮةَ وَالۡاِنۡجِيۡلَ ٣
3:3
He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
مِنۡ قَبۡلُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَاَنۡزَلَ الۡفُرۡقَانَ ؕ اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ شَدِيۡدٌ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَزِيۡزٌ ذُو انۡتِقَامٍ ٤
3:4
previously, as a guide for people, and ˹also˺ revealed the Decisive Authority. Surely those who reject Allāh’s revelations will suffer a severe torment. For Allāh is Almighty, capable of punishment.
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَخۡفٰى عَلَيۡهِ شَىۡءٌ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ وَلَا فِى السَّمَآءِ ٥
3:5
Surely nothing on earth or in the heavens is hidden from Allāh.
هُوَ الَّذِىۡ يُصَوِّرُكُمۡ فِى الۡاَرۡحَامِ كَيۡفَ يَشَآءُ ؕ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ ٦
3:6
He is the One Who shapes you in the wombs of your mothers as He wills. There is no god worthy of worship except Him—the Almighty, All-Wise.
هُوَ الَّذِىۡۤ اَنۡزَلَ عَلَيۡكَ الۡكِتٰبَ مِنۡهُ اٰيٰتٌ مُّحۡكَمٰتٌ هُنَّ اُمُّ الۡكِتٰبِ وَاُخَرُ مُتَشٰبِهٰتٌ ؕ فَاَمَّا الَّذِيۡنَ فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ زَيۡغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُوۡنَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنۡهُ ابۡتِغَآءَ الۡفِتۡنَةِ وَابۡتِغَآءَ تَاۡوِيۡلِهٖ ۚ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ تَاۡوِيۡلَهٗۤ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ ۘ وَالرّٰسِخُوۡنَ فِى الۡعِلۡمِ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ اٰمَنَّا بِهٖۙ كُلٌّ مِّنۡ عِنۡدِ رَبِّنَا ؕ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ اِلَّاۤ اُولُوا الۡاَلۡبَابِ ٧
3:7
He is the One Who has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book, of which some verses are precise—they are the foundation of the Book—while others are elusive. Those with deviant hearts follow the elusive verses seeking ˹to spread˺ doubt through their ˹false˺ interpretations—but none grasps their ˹full˺ meaning except Allāh. As for those well-grounded in knowledge, they say, “We believe in this ˹Qur’an˺—it is all from our Lord.” But none will be mindful ˹of this˺ except people of reason.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغۡ قُلُوۡبَنَا بَعۡدَ اِذۡ هَدَيۡتَنَا وَهَبۡ لَنَا مِنۡ لَّدُنۡكَ رَحۡمَةً ۚ اِنَّكَ اَنۡتَ الۡوَهَّابُ ٨
3:8
˹They say,˺ “Our Lord! Do not let our hearts deviate after you have guided us. Grant us Your mercy. You are indeed the Giver ˹of all bounties˺.
رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّكَ جَامِعُ النَّاسِ لِيَوۡمٍ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيۡهِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُخۡلِفُ الۡمِيۡعَادَ ٩
3:9
Our Lord! You will certainly gather all humanity for the ˹promised˺ Day—about which there is no doubt. Surely Allāh does not break His promise.”
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا لَنۡ تُغۡنِىَ عَنۡهُمۡ اَمۡوَالُهُمۡ وَلَاۤ اَوۡلَادُهُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ شَيۡـًٔا ؕ وَاُولٰٓئِكَ هُمۡ وَقُوۡدُ النَّارِ ١٠
3:10
Indeed, the wealth and children of those who disbelieve will be of no benefit to them against ˹the punishment of˺ Allāh. And it is they who will be the fuel for the Fire.
كَدَاۡبِ اٰلِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ ۙ وَالَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡ ؕ كَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَا فَاَخَذَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِذُنُوۡبِهِمۡ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ شَدِيۡدُ الۡعِقَابِ ١١
3:11
Their fate is like that of the people of Pharaoh and those before them: they rejected Our signs, so Allāh seized them for their sins. For Allāh is severe in punishment.
قُل لِّلَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا سَتُغۡلَبُوۡنَ وَتُحۡشَرُوۡنَ اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَ ؕ وَبِئۡسَ الۡمِهَادُ ١٢
3:12
Say to those who disbelieve, “You will be defeated and gathered into Hell—what a terrible resting-place!”
قَدۡ كَانَ لَكُمۡ اٰيَةٌ فِىۡ فِئَتَيۡنِ الۡتَقَتَا ؕ فِئَةٌ تُقَاتِلُ فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ وَاُخۡرٰى كَافِرَةٌ يَّرَوۡنَهُمۡ مِّثۡلَيۡهِمۡ رَاۡىَ الۡعَيۡنِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يُؤَيِّدُ بِنَصۡرِهٖ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ ؕ اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةً لِّاُولِى الۡاَبۡصَارِ ١٣
3:13
There was a sign for you in the two armies that met ˹at Badr˺: one fighting in the cause of Allāh and the other ungrateful, seeing the faithful twice their number in their own eyes. But Allāh supports with His triumph whoever He wills. Surely in this is a lesson for people of insight.
زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوٰتِ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ وَالۡبَنِيۡنَ وَالۡقَنَاطِيۡرِ الۡمُقَنۡطَرَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالۡفِضَّةِ وَالۡخَيۡلِ الۡمُسَوَّمَةِ وَالۡاَنۡعَامِ وَالۡحَرۡثِ ؕ ذٰلِكَ مَتَاعُ الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَا ۚ وَاللّٰهُ عِنۡدَهٗ حُسۡنُ الۡمَاٰبِ ١٤
3:14
Adorned for people is the love of the pleasures ˹that come˺ from women, children, treasures of gold and silver, branded horses, cattle, and crops. These are the enjoyments of this worldly life, but Allāh has the best return ˹for all˺.
قُلۡ اَؤُنَبِّئُكُمۡ بِخَيۡرٍ مِّنۡ ذٰ لِكُمۡ ؕ لِلَّذِيۡنَ اتَّقَوۡا عِنۡدَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنّٰتٌ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَا وَاَزۡوَاجٌ مُّطَهَّرَةٌ وَّرِضۡوَانٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بَصِيۡرٌۢ بِالۡعِبَادِ ١٥
3:15
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Shall I inform you of what is better than all of that? For those who are mindful ˹of Allāh˺, there are Gardens with their Lord, under which rivers flow, where they will abide forever, and purified spouses, and Allāh’s pleasure.” And Allāh is All-Seeing of ˹His˺ servants.
الَّذِيۡنَ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّنَاۤ اٰمَنَّا فَاغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوۡبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ ١٦
3:16
˹They are˺ those who say, “Our Lord! We truly believe, so forgive our sins and save us from the torment of the Fire.”
اَلصّٰبِرِيۡنَ وَالصّٰدِقِيۡنَ وَالۡقٰنِتِيۡنَ وَالۡمُنۡفِقِيۡنَ وَالۡمُسۡتَغۡفِرِيۡنَ بِالۡاَسۡحَارِ ١٧
3:17
˹They are˺ those who are patient, truthful, obedient, spending ˹in Allāh’s way˺, and seeking forgiveness before dawn.
شَهِدَ اللّٰهُ اَنَّهٗ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۙ وَالۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةُ وَاُولُوا الۡعِلۡمِ قَآٮِٕمًا بِالۡقِسۡطِ ؕ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ ١٨
3:18
Allāh ˹Himself˺ is a witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Him—and so are the angels and people of knowledge. He is the Maintainer of justice. There is no god worthy of worship except Him—the Almighty, All-Wise.
اِنَّ الدِّيۡنَ عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ الۡاِسۡلَامُ ؕ وَمَا اخۡتَلَفَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡكِتٰبَ اِلَّا مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ الۡعِلۡمُ بَغۡيًاۢ بَيۡنَهُمۡ ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّكۡفُرۡ بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَرِيۡعُ الۡحِسَابِ ١٩
3:19
The ˹only accepted˺ way of life in the sight of Allāh is Islām ˹submission to Him˺. Those who were given the Scripture did not dispute ˹about this˺ except after knowledge had come to them, out of mutual envy. And whoever denies Allāh’s revelations, then ˹let him know that˺ Allāh is swift in reckoning.
فَاِنۡ حَآجُّوۡكَ فَقُلۡ اَسۡلَمۡتُ وَجۡهِىَ لِلّٰهِ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِ ؕ وَقُل لِّلَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡكِتٰبَ وَالۡاُمِّيّٖنَ ءَاَسۡلَمۡتُمۡ ؕ فَاِنۡ اَسۡلَمُوۡا فَقَدِ اهۡتَدَوۡا ۚ وَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَاِنَّمَا عَلَيۡكَ الۡبَلٰغُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بَصِيۡرٌۢ بِالۡعِبَادِ ٢٠
3:20
If they argue with you ˹O Prophet˺, say, “I have submitted myself to Allāh, and ˹so have˺ those who follow me.” And ask those who were given the Scripture and the illiterate ˹disbelievers˺, “Have you submitted yourselves?” If they submit, they are guided, but if they turn away, then your duty is only to convey the message. And Allāh is All-Seeing of ˹His˺ servants.
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يَكۡفُرُوۡنَ بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَيَقۡتُلُوۡنَ النَّبِيّٖنَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقٍّ وَّيَقۡتُلُوۡنَ الَّذِيۡنَ يَاۡمُرُوۡنَ بِالۡقِسۡطِ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَبَشِّرۡهُمۡ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيۡمٍ ٢١
3:21
Indeed, those who reject the revelations of Allāh and unjustly kill the prophets and kill those who advocate for justice—give them the news of a painful punishment.
اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ الَّذِيۡنَ حَبِطَتۡ اَعۡمَالُهُمۡ فِى الدُّنۡيَا وَالۡاٰخِرَةِ ۖ وَمَا لَهُمۡ مِّنۡ نّٰصِرِيۡنَ ٢٢
3:22
They are the ones whose deeds are void in this life and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers.
اَلَمۡ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوۡا نَصِيۡبًا مِّنَ الۡكِتٰبِ يُدۡعَوۡنَ اِلٰى كِتٰبِ اللّٰهِ لِيَحۡكُمَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلّٰى فَرِيۡقٌ مِّنۡهُمۡ وَهُمۡ مُّعۡرِضُوۡنَ ٢٣
3:23
Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture, how they are invited to the Book of Allāh to settle their disputes, then a party of them turns away in refusal?
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمۡ قَالُوۡا لَنۡ تَمَسَّنَا النَّارُ اِلَّاۤ اَيَّامًا مَّعۡدُوۡدٰتٍ ۚ وَغَرَّهُمۡ فِىۡ دِيۡنِهِمۡ مَّا كَانُوۡا يَفۡتَرُوۡنَ ٢٤
3:24
That is because they claim, “The Fire will not touch us except for a number of days.” And their ˹false˺ beliefs have deceived them in their faith.
فَكَيۡفَ اِذَا جَمَعۡنٰهُمۡ لِيَوۡمٍ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيۡهِ وَوُفِّيَتۡ كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُوۡنَ ٢٥
3:25
How will they fare when We gather them all on a Day about which there is no doubt, and every soul will be paid back fully for what it has earned, and none will be wronged?
قُلِ اللّٰهُمَّ مٰلِكَ الۡمُلۡكِ تُؤۡتِى الۡمُلۡكَ مَنۡ تَشَآءُ وَتَنۡزِعُ الۡمُلۡكَ مِمَّنۡ تَشَآءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَنۡ تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَنۡ تَشَآءُ ؕ بِيَدِكَ الۡخَيۡرُ ؕ اِنَّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌ ٢٦
3:26
Say, “O Allāh! Master of all sovereignty! You give sovereignty to whom you will, and take sovereignty away from whom you will; You honour whom you will, and humble whom you will. All good is in Your Hand. Surely You have power over all things.
تُوۡلِجُ الَّيۡلَ فِى النَّهَارِ وَتُوۡلِجُ النَّهَارَ فِى الَّيۡلِ ۙ وَتُخۡرِجُ الۡحَىَّ مِنَ الۡمَيِّتِ وَتُخۡرِجُ الۡمَيِّتَ مِنَ الۡحَىِّ ؕ وَتَرۡزُقُ مَنۡ تَشَآءُ بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٍ ٢٧
3:27
You merge the night into the day, and merge the day into the night; You bring the living out of the dead, and bring the dead out of the living; and You provide for whoever You will without measure.”
لَا يَتَّخِذِ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ اَوۡلِيَآءَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ۚ وَمَنۡ يَّفۡعَلۡ ذٰلِكَ فَلَيۡسَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ فِىۡ شَىۡءٍ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ تَتَّقُوۡا مِنۡهُمۡ تُقٰٮةً ؕ وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ اللّٰهُ نَفۡسَهٗ ؕ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ الۡمَصِيۡرُ ٢٨
3:28
The believers must not take the disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. And whoever does this will have nothing to hope for from Allāh—unless you genuinely fear a danger from them. And Allāh warns you to beware of Him. For to Allāh is the final return.
قُلۡ اِنۡ تُخۡفُوۡا مَا فِىۡ صُدُوۡرِكُمۡ اَوۡ تُبۡدُوۡهُ يَعۡلَمۡهُ اللّٰهُ ؕ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا فِىۡ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌ ٢٩
3:29
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Whether you conceal what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allāh knows it all.” He knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allāh is All-Powerful over everything.
يَوۡمَ تَجِدُ كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتۡ مِنۡ خَيۡرٍ مُّحۡضَرًا ۚ وَّمَا عَمِلَتۡ مِنۡ سُوۡٓءٍ ۚ تَوَدُّ لَوۡ اَنَّ بَيۡنَهَا وَبَيۡنَهٗۤ اَمَدًا بَعِيۡدًا ؕ وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ اللّٰهُ نَفۡسَهٗ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ رَءُوۡفٌۢ بِالۡعِبَادِ ٣٠
3:30
˹Beware of˺ the Day when every soul will find clearly presented whatever good it has done, and whatever evil it has done, it will wish there were a great distance between itself and that evil. And Allāh warns you to beware of Him. For Allāh is Ever Gracious to ˹His˺ servants.
قُلۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تُحِبُّوۡنَ اللّٰهَ فَاتَّبِعُوۡنِىۡ يُحۡبِبۡكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡ ذُنُوۡبَكُمۡ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ ٣١
3:31
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If you truly love Allāh, then follow me, and Allāh will love you and forgive your sins. For Allāh is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
قُلۡ اَطِيۡعُوا اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوۡلَ ۚ فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ ٣٢
3:32
Say, “Obey Allāh and the Messenger.” But if they turn away, then Allāh does not like the disbelievers.
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اصۡطَفٰىۤ اٰدَمَ وَنُوۡحًا وَّاٰلَ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَاٰلَ عِمۡرٰنَ عَلَى الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ ٣٣
3:33
Indeed, Allāh chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of ʿImrān over ˹all˺ other people
ذُرِّيَّةًۢ بَعۡضُهَا مِنۡۢ بَعۡضٍ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِيۡعٌ عَلِيۡمٌ ٣٤
3:34
as descendants, one from the other. And Allāh is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
اِذۡ قَالَتِ امۡرَاَتُ عِمۡرٰنَ رَبِّ اِنِّىۡ نَذَرۡتُ لَكَ مَا فِىۡ بَطۡنِىۡ مُحَرَّرًا فَتَقَبَّلۡ مِنِّىۡ ۚ اِنَّكَ اَنۡتَ السَّمِيۡعُ الۡعَلِيۡمُ ٣٥
3:35
˹Remember˺ when ʿImrān’s wife said, “My Lord! I dedicate what is in my womb entirely to Your service, so accept it from me. You ˹alone˺ are the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.”
فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتۡهَا قَالَتۡ رَبِّ اِنِّىۡ وَضَعۡتُهَاۤ اُنۡثٰى ؕ وَاللّٰهُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا وَضَعَتۡ ؕ وَلَيۡسَ الذَّكَرُ كَالۡاُنۡثٰى ۚ وَاِنِّىۡ سَمَّيۡتُهَا مَرۡيَمَ وَاِنِّىۡۤ اُعِيۡذُهَا بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا مِنَ الشَّيۡطٰنِ الرَّجِيۡمِ ٣٦
3:36
But when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord! I have delivered a female!” Allāh knew best what she delivered. The male is not like the female. ˹She added,˺ “I have named her Maryam ˹Mary˺, and I seek Your protection for her and her offspring from Satan, the accursed.”
فَتَقَبَّلَهَا رَبُّهَا بِقَبُوۡلٍ حَسَنٍ وَّاَنۡۢبَتَهَا نَبَاتًا حَسَنًا ۙ وَّكَفَّلَهَا زَكَرِيَّا ؕ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ عَلَيۡهَا زَكَرِيَّا الۡمِحۡرَابَ ۙ وَجَدَ عِنۡدَهَا رِزۡقًا ۚ قَالَ يٰمَرۡيَمُ اَنّٰى لَكِ هٰذَا ؕ قَالَتۡ هُوَ مِنۡ عِنۡدِ اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَرۡزُقُ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٍ ٣٧
3:37
So her Lord accepted her with a gracious acceptance and made her grow in purity, and entrusted her to the care of Zachariah. Every time Zachariah entered the sanctuary to ˹see˺ her, he found provision with her. He asked, “O Mary, where did this come from?” She replied, “It is from Allāh.” Surely Allāh provides for whoever He wills without measure.
هُنَالِكَ دَعَا زَكَرِيَّا رَبَّهٗ ۚ قَالَ رَبِّ هَبۡ لِىۡ مِنۡ لَّدُنۡكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً ۚ اِنَّكَ سَمِيۡعُ الدُّعَآءِ ٣٨
3:38
Then and there, Zachariah prayed to his Lord, saying, “My Lord! Grant me, by Your grace, a righteous offspring. You are certainly the Hearer of ˹all˺ prayers.”
فَنَادَتۡهُ الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةُ وَهُوَ قَآٮِٕمٌ يُّصَلِّىۡ فِى الۡمِحۡرَابِ ۙ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يُبَشِّرُكَ بِيَحۡيٰى مُصَدِّقًاۢ بِكَلِمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَسَيِّدًا وَّحَصُوۡرًا وَّنَبِيًّا مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِيۡنَ ٣٩
3:39
So the angels called out to him while he stood praying in the sanctuary, “Allāh gives you good news of ˹the birth of˺ John (Yaḥyā), who will confirm the Word from Allāh, and will be a great leader, virtuous, and a prophet among the righteous.”
قَالَ رَبِّ اَنّٰى يَكُوۡنُ لِىۡ غُلٰمٌ وَّقَدۡ بَلَغَنِىَ الۡكِبَرُ وَامۡرَاَتِىۡ عَاقِرٌ ؕ قَالَ كَذٰلِكَ اللّٰهُ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ ٤٠
3:40
He wondered, “My Lord! How can I have a boy when I am very old, and my wife is barren?” The angel replied, “So will it be! Allāh does what He wills.”
قَالَ رَبِّ اجۡعَل لِّىۡۤ اٰيَةً ؕ قَالَ اٰيَتُكَ اَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلٰثَةَ اَيَّامٍ اِلَّا رَمۡزًا ؕ وَاذۡكُرۡ رَّبَّكَ كَثِيۡرًا وَّسَبِّحۡ بِالۡعَشِىِّ وَالۡاِبۡكَارِ ٤١
3:41
Zachariah pleaded, “My Lord! Grant me a sign.” Allāh replied, “Your sign is that you will not be able to speak to people for three days, except by gestures. Remember your Lord often, and glorify Him in the evening and the morning.”
وَاِذۡ قَالَتِ الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةُ يٰمَرۡيَمُ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اصۡطَفٰٮكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَاصۡطَفٰٮكِ عَلٰى نِسَآءِ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ ٤٢
3:42
˹Remember˺ when the angels said, “O Mary! Allāh has surely chosen you, purified you, and selected you over all women of the world.
يٰمَرۡيَمُ اقۡنُتِىۡ لِرَبِّكِ وَاسۡجُدِىۡ وَارۡكَعِىۡ مَعَ الرّٰكِعِيۡنَ ٤٣
3:43
O Mary! Submit devoutly to your Lord, prostrate yourself, and bow down with those who bow.”
ذٰلِكَ مِنۡ اَنۡۢبَآءِ الۡغَيۡبِ نُوۡحِيۡهِ اِلَيۡكَ ؕ وَمَا كُنۡتَ لَدَيۡهِمۡ اِذۡ يُلۡقُوۡنَ اَقۡلَامَهُمۡ اَيُّهُمۡ يَكۡفُلُ مَرۡيَمَ ۙ وَمَا كُنۡتَ لَدَيۡهِمۡ اِذۡ يَخۡتَصِمُوۡنَ ٤٤
3:44
This is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you ˹O Prophet˺. You were not present when they cast their arrows to decide which of them would take charge of Mary, nor were you present when they disputed ˹over her˺.
اِذۡ قَالَتِ الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةُ يٰمَرۡيَمُ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُبَشِّرُكِ بِكَلِمَةٍ مِّنۡهُ ۖ اسۡمُهُ الۡمَسِيۡحُ عِيۡسَى ابۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ وَجِيۡهًا فِى الدُّنۡيَا وَالۡاٰخِرَةِ وَمِنَ الۡمُقَرَّبِيۡنَ ٤٥
3:45
˹Remember˺ when the angels said, “O Mary! Allāh gives you good news of a Word from Him, whose name is Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary; highly honoured in this world and the next, and one of the closest ˹to Allāh˺.
وَيُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِى الۡمَهۡدِ وَكَهۡلًا وَّمِنَ الصّٰلِحِيۡنَ ٤٦
3:46
He will speak to people in the cradle and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.”
قَالَتۡ رَبِّ اَنّٰى يَكُوۡنُ لِىۡ وَلَدٌ وَّلَمۡ يَمۡسَسۡنِىۡ بَشَرٌ ؕ قَالَ كَذٰلِكِ اللّٰهُ يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ ؕ اِذَا قَضٰىۤ اَمۡرًا فَاِنَّمَا يَقُوۡلُ لَهٗ كُنۡ فَيَكُوۡنُ ٤٧
3:47
She said, “My Lord! How can I have a child when no man has ever touched me?” The angel replied, “So will it be! Allāh creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He simply says to it, ‘Be!’ and it comes to be.
وَيُعَلِّمُهُ الۡكِتٰبَ وَالۡحِكۡمَةَ وَالتَّوۡرٰٮةَ وَالۡاِنۡجِيۡلَ ٤٨
3:48
He will teach him the Scripture, wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel,
وَرَسُوۡلًا اِلٰى بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرٰٓءِيۡلَ ۙ اَنِّىۡ قَدۡ جِئۡتُكُمۡ بِاٰيَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ ۙ اَنِّىۡۤ اَخۡلُقُ لَكُمۡ مِّنَ الطِّيۡنِ كَهَيۡـَٔةِ الطَّيۡرِ فَاَنۡفُخُ فِيۡهِ فَيَكُوۡنُ طَيۡرًاۢ بِاِذۡنِ اللّٰهِ ۚ وَاُبۡرِئُ الۡاَكۡمَهَ وَالۡاَبۡرَصَ وَاُحۡىِ الۡمَوۡتٰى بِاِذۡنِ اللّٰهِ ۚ وَاُنَبِّئُكُمۡ بِمَا تَاۡكُلُوۡنَ وَمَا تَدَّخِرُوۡنَ ۙ فِىۡ بُيُوۡتِكُمۡ ؕ اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لَّكُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ٤٩
3:49
and appoint him as a Messenger to the Children of Israel ˹to say˺: ‘I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I will create for you from clay the shape of a bird, then breathe into it and, by Allāh’s Will, it will become a ˹living˺ bird. I will heal the blind and the leper, and raise the dead by Allāh’s Will. And I will tell you what you eat and what you store up in your houses. Surely there is a sign for you in this, if you are believers.
وَمُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَىَّ مِنَ التَّوۡرٰٮةِ وَلِاُحِلَّ لَكُمۡ بَعۡضَ الَّذِىۡ حُرِّمَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ۚ وَجِئۡتُكُمۡ بِاٰيَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيۡعُوۡنِ ٥٠
3:50
And I have come confirming the Torah which is before me, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so be mindful of Allāh and obey me.
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَبِّىۡ وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَاعۡبُدُوۡهُ ؕ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٌ ٥١
3:51
Surely Allāh is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him ˹alone˺. This is the Straight Path.’”
فَلَمَّاۤ اَحَسَّ عِيۡسٰى مِنۡهُمُ الۡكُفۡرَ قَالَ مَنۡ اَنۡصَارِىۡۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِ ؕ قَالَ الۡحَوَارِيُّوۡنَ نَحۡنُ اَنۡصَارُ اللّٰهِ ۚ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ ۚ وَاشۡهَدۡ بِاَنَّا مُسۡلِمُوۡنَ ٥٢
3:52
When Jesus perceived ˹their˺ disbelief, he asked, “Who will be my helpers for ˹the cause of˺ Allāh?” The disciples answered, “We are the helpers of Allāh! We believe in Allāh, and bear witness that we are Muslims ˹in submission to Him˺.
رَبَّنَاۤ اٰمَنَّا بِمَاۤ اَنۡزَلۡتَ وَاتَّبَعۡنَا الرَّسُوۡلَ فَاكۡتُبۡنَا مَعَ الشّٰهِدِيۡنَ ٥٣
3:53
Our Lord! We believe in what You have revealed, and we follow the Messenger. So register us among those who bear witness ˹to the truth˺.”
وَمَكَرُوۡا وَمَكَرَ اللّٰهُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ خَيۡرُ الۡمٰكِرِيۡنَ ٥٤
3:54
And they schemed, and Allāh countered their schemes. And Allāh is the best of schemers.
اِذۡ قَالَ اللّٰهُ يٰعِيۡسٰٓى اِنِّىۡ مُتَوَفِّيۡكَ وَرَافِعُكَ اِلَىَّ وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا وَجَاعِلُ الَّذِيۡنَ اتَّبَعُوۡكَ فَوۡقَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡۤا اِلٰى يَوۡمِ الۡقِيٰمَةِ ۚ ثُمَّ اِلَىَّ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَاَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَكُمۡ فِيۡمَا كُنۡتُمۡ فِيۡهِ تَخۡتَلِفُوۡنَ ٥٥
3:55
˹Remember˺ when Allāh said, “O Jesus! I will take you and raise you up to Myself, and cleanse you of ˹the slander of˺ those who disbelieve. And I will make your followers superior to the disbelievers until the Day of Judgment. Then to Me you will ˹all˺ return, and I will judge between you regarding your disputes.
فَاَمَّا الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا فَاُعَذِّبُهُمۡ عَذَابًا شَدِيۡدًا فِى الدُّنۡيَا وَالۡاٰخِرَةِ ۙ وَمَا لَهُمۡ مِّنۡ نّٰصِرِيۡنَ ٥٦
3:56
As for the disbelievers, I will punish them with a severe torment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers.”
وَاَمَّا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَيُوَفِّيۡهِمۡ اُجُوۡرَهُمۡ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ ٥٧
3:57
As for those who believe and do good, He will give them their full reward. And Allāh does not like the wrongdoers.
ذٰلِكَ نَتۡلُوۡهُ عَلَيۡكَ مِنَ الۡاٰيٰتِ وَالذِّكۡرِ الۡحَكِيۡمِ ٥٨
3:58
This is what We recite to you ˹O Prophet˺ from the verses and the Wise Reminder ˹the Qur’an˺.
اِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيۡسٰى عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ كَمَثَلِ اٰدَمَ ؕ خَلَقَهٗ مِنۡ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهٗ كُنۡ فَيَكُوۡنُ ٥٩
3:59
The case of Jesus in the sight of Allāh is like the case of Adam. He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be!” and he came to be.
اَلۡحَقُّ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُنۡ مِّنَ الۡمُمۡتَرِيۡنَ ٦٠
3:60
This is the truth from your Lord, so do not be one of the doubters.
فَمَنۡ حَآجَّكَ فِيۡهِ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ الۡعِلۡمِ فَقُلۡ تَعَالَوۡا نَدۡعُ اَبۡنَآءَنَا وَاَبۡنَآءَكُمۡ وَنِسَآءَنَا وَنِسَآءَكُمۡ وَاَنۡفُسَنَا وَاَنۡفُسَكُمۡ ثُمَّ نَبۡتَهِلۡ فَنَجۡعَل لَّعۡنَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَى الۡكٰذِبِيۡنَ ٦١
3:61
If anyone argues with you ˹O Prophet˺ about Jesus after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us gather our children and your children, our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us supplicate, invoking the curse of Allāh upon the liars.”
اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ الۡقَصَصُ الۡحَقُّ ۚ وَمَا مِنۡ اِلٰهٍ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ ؕ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ ٦٢
3:62
This is certainly the true narrative. There is no god worthy of worship except Allāh. And Allāh is certainly the Almighty, All-Wise.
فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيۡمٌۢ بِالۡمُفۡسِدِيۡنَ ٦٣
3:63
If they turn away, then Allāh surely knows the corruptors.
قُلۡ يٰۤاَهۡلَ الۡكِتٰبِ تَعَالَوۡا اِلٰى كَلِمَةٍ سَوَآءٍۭ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكُمۡ اَلَّا نَعۡبُدَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ وَلَا نُشۡرِكَ بِهٖ شَيۡـًٔا وَّلَا يَتَّخِذَ بَعۡضُنَا بَعۡضًا اَرۡبَابًا مِّنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَقُوۡلُوا اشۡهَدُوۡا بِاَنَّا مُسۡلِمُوۡنَ ٦٤
3:64
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O People of the Scripture! Let us come to common terms: that we will worship none but Allāh, associate none with Him, and neither of us will take others as lords besides Allāh.” If they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we are Muslims ˹submitting to Allāh˺.”
يٰۤاَهۡلَ الۡكِتٰبِ لِمَ تُحَآجُّوۡنَ فِىۡۤ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَتِ التَّوۡرٰٮةُ وَالۡاِنۡجِيۡلُ اِلَّا مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِهٖ ؕ اَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ ٦٥
3:65
O People of the Scripture! Why do you dispute about Abraham, while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until long after him? Will you not reason?
هٰۤاَنۡتُمۡ هٰٓؤُلَآءِ حَاجَجۡتُمۡ فِيۡمَا لَكُمۡ بِهٖ عِلۡمٌ فَلِمَ تُحَآجُّوۡنَ فِيۡمَا لَيۡسَ لَكُمۡ بِهٖ عِلۡمٌ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يَعۡلَمُ وَاَنۡتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٦٦
3:66
You may dispute about what you have ˹some˺ knowledge of, but why do you dispute about what you know nothing about? Allāh knows, and you do not know.
مَا كَانَ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمُ يَهُوۡدِيًّا وَّلَا نَصۡرَانِيًّا وَّلٰكِنۡ كَانَ حَنِيۡفًا مُّسۡلِمًا ؕ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَ ٦٧
3:67
Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a true Muslim ˹submitting to Allāh˺, and he was not one of the polytheists.
اِنَّ اَوۡلَى النَّاسِ بِاِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ لَلَّذِيۡنَ اتَّبَعُوۡهُ وَهٰذَا النَّبِىُّ وَالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا ؕ وَاللّٰهُ وَلِىُّ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ٦٨
3:68
Indeed, the people most worthy of Abraham are those who followed him, as well as this Prophet ˹Muḥammad˺ and those who believe. And Allāh is the Guardian of the believers.
وَدَّتۡ طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّنۡ اَهۡلِ الۡكِتٰبِ لَوۡ يُضِلُّوۡنَكُمۡ ؕ وَمَا يُضِلُّوۡنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُوۡنَ ٦٩
3:69
A faction of the People of the Scripture wish to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, yet they do not realize it.
يٰۤاَهۡلَ الۡكِتٰبِ لِمَ تَكۡفُرُوۡنَ بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَاَنۡتُمۡ تَشۡهَدُوۡنَ ٧٠
3:70
O People of the Scripture! Why do you reject the revelations of Allāh while you yourselves bear witness ˹to their truth˺?
يٰۤاَهۡلَ الۡكِتٰبِ لِمَ تَلۡبِسُوۡنَ الۡحَقَّ بِالۡبَاطِلِ وَتَكۡتُمُوۡنَ الۡحَقَّ وَاَنۡتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٧١
3:71
O People of the Scripture! Why do you mix the truth with falsehood and knowingly hide the truth?
وَقَالَتۡ طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّنۡ اَهۡلِ الۡكِتٰبِ اٰمِنُوۡا بِالَّذِىۡۤ اُنۡزِلَ عَلَى الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَجۡهَ النَّهَارِ وَاكۡفُرُوۡۤا اٰخِرَهٗ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُوۡنَ ٧٢
3:72
A faction of the People of the Scripture say, “Believe in what has been revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so perhaps they may return ˹to disbelief˺.
وَلَا تُؤۡمِنُوۡۤا اِلَّا لِمَنۡ تَبِعَ دِيۡنَكُمۡ ؕ قُلۡ اِنَّ الۡهُدٰى هُدَى اللّٰهِ ۙ اَنۡ يُّؤۡتٰۤى اَحَدٌ مِّثۡلَ مَاۤ اُوۡتِيۡتُمۡ اَوۡ يُحَآجُّوۡكُمۡ عِنۡدَ رَبِّكُمۡ ؕ قُلۡ اِنَّ الۡفَضۡلَ بِيَدِ اللّٰهِ ۚ يُؤۡتِيۡهِ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيۡمٌ ٧٣
3:73
And do not believe except those who follow your religion.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Surely guidance is the guidance of Allāh, ˹and do not believe˺ that anyone else can be given the like of what you have been given, or that they can argue with you before your Lord.” Say, “The bounty is in the Hand of Allāh. He grants it to whom He wills. And Allāh is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing.”
يَخۡتَصُّ بِرَحۡمَتِهٖ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ ذُوۡ الۡفَضۡلِ الۡعَظِيۡمِ ٧٤
3:74
He selects for His mercy whom He wills. And Allāh is the possessor of infinite bounty.
وَمِنۡ اَهۡلِ الۡكِتٰبِ مَنۡ اِنۡ تَاۡمَنۡهُ بِقِنۡطَارٍ يُّؤَدِّهٖۤ اِلَيۡكَ ۚ وَمِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ اِنۡ تَاۡمَنۡهُ بِدِيۡنَارٍ لَّا يُؤَدِّهٖۤ اِلَيۡكَ اِلَّا مَا دُمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ قَآٮِٕمًا ؕ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمۡ قَالُوۡا لَيۡسَ عَلَيۡنَا فِىۡ الۡاُمِّيّٖنَ سَبِيۡلٌ ۚ وَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ الۡكَذِبَ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٧٥
3:75
Among the People of the Scripture are those who, if you trust them with a treasure of gold, will readily return it; and among them are those who, if you trust them with a single silver coin, will not return it unless you keep insisting. This is because they claim, “We are not bound to keep our word with these illiterate ˹Arabs˺.” They knowingly tell a lie about Allāh.
بَلٰى مَنۡ اَوۡفٰى بِعَهۡدِهٖ وَاتَّقٰى فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ ٧٦
3:76
No! Those who fulfil their covenant and are mindful of Allāh—then Allāh certainly loves those who are mindful ˹of Him˺.
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يَشۡتَرُوۡنَ بِعَهۡدِ اللّٰهِ وَاَيۡمَانِهِمۡ ثَمَنًا قَلِيۡلًا اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُمۡ فِى الۡاٰخِرَةِ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَلَا يَنۡظُرُ اِلَيۡهِمۡ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيۡهِمۡ ۫ۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌ ٧٧
3:77
Indeed, those who sell Allāh’s covenant and their oaths for a small price, they will have no share in the Hereafter. Allāh will neither speak to them nor look at them nor purify them on the Day of Judgment, and they will suffer a painful torment.
وَاِنَّ مِنۡهُمۡ لَفَرِيۡقًا يَّلۡوٗنَ اَلۡسِنَتَهُمۡ بِالۡكِتٰبِ لِتَحۡسَبُوۡهُ مِنَ الۡكِتٰبِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنَ الۡكِتٰبِ ۚ وَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ هُوَ مِنۡ عِنۡدِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنۡ عِنۡدِ اللّٰهِ ۚ وَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ الۡكَذِبَ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٧٨
3:78
And indeed, there is a group among them who distort the Scripture with their tongues so that you may think it is from the Scripture, while it is not. And they say, “It is from Allāh,” but it is not from Allāh. And they knowingly tell a lie about Allāh.
مَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ اَنۡ يُّؤۡتِيَهُ اللّٰهُ الۡكِتٰبَ وَالۡحُكۡمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ ثُمَّ يَقُوۡلَ لِلنَّاسِ كُوۡنُوۡا عِبَادًا لِّىۡ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ وَلٰكِنۡ كُوۡنُوۡا رَبّٰنِيّٖنَ بِمَا كُنۡتُمۡ تُعَلِّمُوۡنَ الۡكِتٰبَ وَبِمَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَدۡرُسُوۡنَ ٧٩
3:79
It is not right for a human being whom Allāh has given the Scripture, wisdom, and prophecy to then say to people, “Worship me instead of Allāh.” Rather, ˹he would say,˺ “Be devoted to the worship of your Lord, because you teach the Scripture and study it.”
وَلَا يَاۡمُرَكُمۡ اَنۡ تَتَّخِذُوا الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةَ وَالنَّبِيّٖنَ اَرۡبَابًا ؕ اَيَاۡمُرُكُمۡ بِالۡكُفۡرِ بَعۡدَ اِذۡ اَنۡتُمۡ مُّسۡلِمُوۡنَ ٨٠
3:80
Nor would he order you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he order you to disbelieve after you have submitted ˹to Allāh˺?
وَاِذۡ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ مِيۡثَاقَ النَّبِيّٖنَ لَمَاۤ اٰتَيۡتُكُمۡ مِّنۡ كِتٰبٍ وَّحِكۡمَةٍ ثُمَّ جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُوۡلٌ مُّصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَكُمۡ لَتُؤۡمِنُنَّ بِهٖ وَلَتَنۡصُرُنَّهٗ ؕ قَالَ ءَاَقۡرَرۡتُمۡ وَاَخَذۡتُمۡ عَلٰى ذٰلِكُمۡ اِصۡرِىۡ ؕ قَالُوۡۤا اَقۡرَرۡنَا ؕ قَالَ فَاشۡهَدُوۡا وَاَنَا مَعَكُمۡ مِّنَ الشّٰهِدِيۡنَ ٨١
3:81
And ˹remember, O People of the Scripture˺ when Allāh took the covenant from the prophets, ˹saying,˺ “If I give you the Scripture and wisdom, and then a messenger comes to you confirming what you already have, you must believe in him and support him.” He asked, “Do you affirm this and accept My covenant upon this condition?” They replied, “We affirm it.” Allāh said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.”
فَمَنۡ تَوَلّٰى بَعۡدَ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡفٰسِقُوۡنَ ٨٢
3:82
Whoever turns away after this, they are indeed the rebellious.
اَفَغَيۡرَ دِيۡنِ اللّٰهِ يَبۡغُوۡنَ وَلَهٗۤ اَسۡلَمَ مَنۡ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ طَوۡعًا وَّكَرۡهًا وَّاِلَيۡهِ يُرۡجَعُوۡنَ ٨٣
3:83
Do they desire a religion other than that of Allāh, when ˹in fact˺ everyone in the heavens and on the earth has submitted to Him, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will all be returned?
قُلۡ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ عَلَيۡنَا وَمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ عَلٰٓى اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَاِسۡمٰعِيۡلَ وَاِسۡحٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوۡبَ وَالۡاَسۡبَاطِ وَمَاۤ اُوۡتِىَ مُوۡسٰى وَعِيۡسٰى وَالنَّبِيُّوۡنَ مِنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡ ۖ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيۡنَ اَحَدٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ ۖ وَنَحۡنُ لَهٗ مُسۡلِمُوۡنَ ٨٤
3:84
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “We believe in Allāh and what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes; and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and all the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we ˹fully˺ submit.”
وَمَنۡ يَّبۡتَغِ غَيۡرَ الۡاِسۡلَامِ دِيۡنًا فَلَنۡ يُّقۡبَلَ مِنۡهُ ۚ وَهُوَ فِى الۡاٰخِرَةِ مِنَ الۡخٰسِرِيۡنَ ٨٥
3:85
Whoever seeks a way of life other than Islam ˹submission to Allāh˺, it will never be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter, he will be among the losers.
كَيۡفَ يَهۡدِىۡ اللّٰهُ قَوۡمًا كَفَرُوۡا بَعۡدَ اِيۡمَانِهِمۡ وَشَهِدُوۡۤا اَنَّ الرَّسُوۡلَ حَقٌّ وَّجَآءَهُمُ الۡبَيِّنٰتُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهۡدِى الۡقَوۡمَ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ ٨٦
3:86
How can Allāh guide people who denied the truth after believing and testifying that the Messenger is true, and after clear signs had come to them? Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.
اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ جَزَآؤُهُمۡ اَنَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ لَعۡنَةَ اللّٰهِ وَالۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَ ٨٧
3:87
Their penalty is that the curse of Allāh, the angels, and all people is upon them.
خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَا ۚ لَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنۡهُمُ الۡعَذَابُ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنۡظَرُوۡنَ ۙ ٨٨
3:88
They will stay in this state forever. Their punishment will not be lightened, nor will they be given a respite.
اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ تَابُوۡا مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ ذٰلِكَ وَاَصۡلَحُوۡا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ ٨٩
3:89
Except for those who repent afterwards and mend their ways, then Allāh is surely All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا بَعۡدَ اِيۡمَانِهِمۡ ثُمَّ ازۡدَادُوۡا كُفۡرًا لَّنۡ تُقۡبَلَ تَوۡبَتُهُمۡ ۚ وَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الضَّآلُّوۡنَ ٩٠
3:90
Indeed, those who disbelieve after believing, then increase in disbelief, their repentance will never be accepted. And it is they who are the truly lost.
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا وَمَاتُوۡا وَهُمۡ كُفَّارٌ فَلَنۡ يُقۡبَلَ مِنۡ اَحَدِهِمۡ مِّلۡءُ الۡاَرۡضِ ذَهَبًا وَّلَوِ افۡتَدٰى بِهٖ ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌ وَّمَا لَهُمۡ مِّنۡ نّٰصِرِيۡنَ ٩١
3:91
Indeed, those who disbelieve and die as disbelievers, the entire world full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, even if they offered it as ransom. They will suffer a painful torment, and they will have no helpers.
لَنۡ تَنَالُوا الۡبِرَّ حَتّٰى تُنۡفِقُوۡا مِمَّا تُحِبُّوۡنَ ؕ وَمَا تُنۡفِقُوۡا مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِهٖ عَلِيۡمٌ ٩٢
3:92
You will never achieve piety until you donate some of what you cherish. And whatever you give, Allāh certainly knows it.
كُلُّ الطَّعَامِ كَانَ حِلًّا لِّبَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرٰٓءِيۡلَ اِلَّا مَا حَرَّمَ اِسۡرٰٓءِيۡلُ عَلٰى نَفۡسِهٖ مِنۡ قَبۡلِ اَنۡ تُنَزَّلَ التَّوۡرٰٮةُ ؕ قُلۡ فَاۡتُوۡا بِالتَّوۡرٰٮةِ فَتۡلُوۡهَاۤ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ ٩٣
3:93
All food was lawful for the Children of Israel except what Israel ˹Jacob˺ forbade himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Bring the Torah and recite it, if you are truthful.”
فَمَنِ افۡتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ الۡكَذِبَ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ ٩٤
3:94
Whoever fabricates lies against Allāh after this—it is they who are the wrongdoers.
قُلۡ صَدَقَ اللّٰهُ ؕ فَاتَّبِعُوۡا مِلَّةَ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ حَنِيۡفًا ؕ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَ ٩٥
3:95
Say, “Allāh speaks the truth. So follow the religion of Abraham, the upright, who was not one of the polytheists.”
اِنَّ اَوَّلَ بَيۡتٍ وُّضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِىۡ بِبَكَّةَ مُبٰرَكًا وَّهُدًى لِّلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ ٩٦
3:96
Indeed, the first House ˹of worship˺ established for humanity is the one at Mecca, a blessed place and a source of guidance for all peoples.
فِيۡهِ اٰيٰتٌۢ بَيِّنٰتٌ مَّقَامُ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ ۚ وَمَنۡ دَخَلَهٗ كَانَ اٰمِنًا ؕ وَلِلّٰهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الۡبَيۡتِ مَنِ اسۡتَطَاعَ اِلَيۡهِ سَبِيۡلًا ؕ وَمَنۡ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِىٌّ عَنِ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ ٩٧
3:97
In it are clear signs: the Standing-Place of Abraham. Whoever enters it is secure. Pilgrimage to the House is an obligation for people due to Allāh—for whoever can afford the journey. But whoever disbelieves, then Allāh is certainly not in need of ˹anyone in˺ the universe.
قُلۡ يٰۤاَهۡلَ الۡكِتٰبِ لِمَ تَكۡفُرُوۡنَ بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَاللّٰهُ شَهِيۡدٌ عَلٰى مَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ٩٨
3:98
Say, “O People of the Scripture! Why do you reject the revelations of Allāh, while Allāh is a witness over everything you do?”
قُلۡ يٰۤاَهۡلَ الۡكِتٰبِ لِمَ تَصُدُّوۡنَ عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ مَنۡ اٰمَنَ تَبۡغُوۡنَهَا عِوَجًا وَّاَنۡتُمۡ شُهَدَآءُ ؕ وَمَا اللّٰهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ٩٩
3:99
Say, “O People of the Scripture! Why do you turn the believers away from the Path of Allāh, seeking to make it appear crooked, while you yourselves witness ˹its truth˺? And Allāh is not unaware of what you do.”
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِنۡ تُطِيۡعُوۡا فَرِيۡقًا مِّنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡكِتٰبَ يَرُدُّوۡكُمۡ بَعۡدَ اِيۡمَانِكُمۡ كٰفِرِيۡنَ ١٠٠
3:100
O believers! If you obey a faction of those who were given the Scripture, they will turn you back into disbelievers after your faith.
وَكَيۡفَ تَكۡفُرُوۡنَ وَاَنۡتُمۡ تُتۡلٰى عَلَيۡكُمۡ اٰيٰتُ اللّٰهِ وَفِيۡكُمۡ رَسُوۡلُهٗ ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّعۡتَصِمۡ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدۡ هُدِىَ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٍ ١٠١
3:101
But how can you disbelieve when the revelations of Allāh are recited to you, and His Messenger is among you? And whoever holds firmly to Allāh is certainly guided to the Straight Path.
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ تُقٰتِهٖ وَلَا تَمُوۡتُنَّ اِلَّا وَاَنۡتُمۡ مُّسۡلِمُوۡنَ ١٠٢
3:102
O believers! Be mindful of Allāh, as is His due, and do not die except in a state of submission ˹to Him˺.
وَاعۡتَصِمُوۡا بِحَبۡلِ اللّٰهِ جَمِيۡعًا وَّلَا تَفَرَّقُوۡا ۫ۖ وَاذۡكُرُوۡا نِعۡمَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اِذۡ كُنۡتُمۡ اَعۡدَآءً فَاَلَّفَ بَيۡنَ قُلُوۡبِكُمۡ فَاَصۡبَحۡتُمۡ بِنِعۡمَتِهٖۤ اِخۡوَانًا ۚ وَكُنۡتُمۡ عَلٰى شَفَا حُفۡرَةٍ مِّنَ النَّارِ فَاَنۡقَذَكُمۡ مِّنۡهَا ؕ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمۡ اٰيٰتِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُوۡنَ ١٠٣
3:103
And hold firmly to the rope of Allāh, all together, and do not be divided. Remember Allāh’s favour upon you when you were enemies, then He united your hearts, so you became brothers by His grace. You were at the brink of a fiery pit and He saved you from it. This is how Allāh makes His revelations clear to you, so that you may be guided.
وَلۡتَكُنۡ مِّنۡكُمۡ اُمَّةٌ يَّدۡعُوۡنَ اِلَى الۡخَيۡرِ وَيَاۡمُرُوۡنَ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ وَيَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ الۡمُنۡكَرِ ؕ وَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَ ١٠٤
3:104
And let there be a group among you who call ˹others˺ to goodness, encourage what is good, and forbid what is evil—it is these who will be successful.
وَلَا تَكُوۡنُوۡا كَالَّذِيۡنَ تَفَرَّقُوۡا وَاخۡتَلَفُوۡا مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ الۡبَيِّنٰتُ ؕ وَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيۡمٌ ١٠٥
3:105
And do not be like those who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. It is they who will suffer a tremendous punishment.
يَوۡمَ تَبۡيَضُّ وُجُوۡهٌ وَّتَسۡوَدُّ وُجُوۡهٌ ۚ فَاَمَّا الَّذِيۡنَ اسۡوَدَّتۡ وُجُوۡهُهُمۡ اَكَفَرۡتُمۡ بَعۡدَ اِيۡمَانِكُمۡ فَذُوۡقُوا الۡعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَكۡفُرُوۡنَ ١٠٦
3:106
˹That will be˺ the Day when some faces will be bright and some faces will be black. To those whose faces are black ˹it will be said˺, “Did you disbelieve after your belief? Then taste the torment for what you used to reject.”
وَاَمَّا الَّذِيۡنَ ابۡيَضَّتۡ وُجُوۡهُهُمۡ فَفِىۡ رَحۡمَةِ اللّٰهِ ؕ هُمۡ فِيۡهَا خٰلِدُوۡنَ ١٠٧
3:107
And as for those whose faces are bright, they will be in the mercy of Allāh, where they will reside forever.
تِلۡكَ اٰيٰتُ اللّٰهِ نَتۡلُوۡهَا عَلَيۡكَ بِالۡحَقِّ ؕ وَمَا اللّٰهُ يُرِيۡدُ ظُلۡمًا لِّلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ ١٠٨
3:108
These are the revelations of Allāh that We recite to you ˹O Prophet˺ in truth. And Allāh does not intend injustice to ˹anyone in˺ the universe.
وَلِلّٰهِ مَا فِىۡ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ ؕ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرۡجَعُ الۡاُمُوۡرُ ١٠٩
3:109
To Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And all matters are destined to return to Allāh.
كُنۡتُمۡ خَيۡرَ اُمَّةٍ اُخۡرِجَتۡ لِلنَّاسِ تَاۡمُرُوۡنَ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ وَتَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ الۡمُنۡكَرِ وَتُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاللّٰهِ ؕ وَلَوۡ اٰمَنَ اَهۡلُ الۡكِتٰبِ لَكَانَ خَيۡرًا لَّهُمۡ ؕ مِنۡهُمُ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ وَاَكۡثَرُهُمُ الۡفٰسِقُوۡنَ ١١٠
3:110
You are the best community ever raised for humanity—you encourage what is good, forbid what is evil, and believe in Allāh. Had the People of the Scripture believed, it would have been better for them. Some of them are believers, but most are rebellious.
لَنۡ يَّضُرُّوۡكُمۡ اِلَّاۤ اَذًى ؕ وَاِنۡ يُّقَاتِلُوۡكُمۡ يُوَلُّوۡكُمُ الۡاَدۡبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يُنۡصَرُوۡنَ ١١١
3:111
They can do you no harm beyond annoyance. If they fight you, they will turn their backs and flee, and they will not be helped.
ضُرِبَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ الذِّلَّةُ اَيۡنَ مَا ثُقِفُوۡۤا اِلَّا بِحَبۡلٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَحَبۡلٍ مِّنَ النَّاسِ وَبَآءُوۡ بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَضُرِبَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ الۡمَسۡكَنَةُ ؕ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡا يَكۡفُرُوۡنَ بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَيَقۡتُلُوۡنَ الۡاَنۡۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقٍّ ؕ ذٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوۡا وَّكَانُوۡا يَعۡتَدُوۡنَ ١١٢
3:112
Humiliation has been imposed upon them wherever they are found, except when under a covenant with Allāh or a covenant with people. They have incurred Allāh’s wrath, and misery has been imposed upon them. This is because they rejected Allāh’s revelations and unjustly killed the prophets. This is because they disobeyed and transgressed.
لَيۡسُوۡا سَوَآءً ؕ مِنۡ اَهۡلِ الۡكِتٰبِ اُمَّةٌ قَآٮِٕمَةٌ يَّتۡلُوۡنَ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ اٰنَآءَ الَّيۡلِ وَهُمۡ يَسۡجُدُوۡنَ ١١٣
3:113
They are not all alike. Among the People of the Scripture is an upright community who recite the revelations of Allāh throughout the night, bowing down ˹in prayer˺.
يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالۡيَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ وَيَاۡمُرُوۡنَ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ وَيَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ الۡمُنۡكَرِ وَيُسَارِعُوۡنَ فِى الۡخَيۡرٰتِ ؕ وَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيۡنَ ١١٤
3:114
They believe in Allāh and the Last Day, encourage what is good and forbid what is evil, and hasten to do good deeds. They are among the righteous.
وَمَا يَفۡعَلُوۡا مِنۡ خَيۡرٍ فَلَنۡ يُكۡفَرُوۡهُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمٌۢ بِالۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ ١١٥
3:115
And whatever good they do, they will never be denied its reward. And Allāh is All-Knowing of those who are mindful ˹of Him˺.
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا لَنۡ تُغۡنِىَ عَنۡهُمۡ اَمۡوَالُهُمۡ وَلَاۤ اَوۡلَادُهُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ شَيۡـًٔا ؕ وَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَصۡحٰبُ النَّارِ ۚ هُمۡ فِيۡهَا خٰلِدُوۡنَ ١١٦
3:116
Indeed, the wealth and children of those who disbelieve will be of no benefit to them against ˹the punishment of˺ Allāh. And it is they who will be the residents of the Fire, where they will abide forever.
مَثَلُ مَا يُنۡفِقُوۡنَ فِىۡ هٰذِهِ الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَا كَمَثَلِ رِيۡحٍ فِيۡهَا صِرٌّ اَصَابَتۡ حَرۡثَ قَوۡمٍ ظَلَمُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ فَاَهۡلَكَتۡهُ ؕ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَلٰكِنۡ اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُوۡنَ ١١٧
3:117
The example of what they spend in this worldly life is like a wind containing intense frost, striking the crops of people who wronged themselves and destroying them. Allāh did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves.
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَتَّخِذُوۡا بِطَانَةً مِّنۡ دُوۡنِكُمۡ لَا يَاۡلُوۡنَكُمۡ خَبَالًا ؕ وَدُّوۡا مَا عَنِتُّمۡ ۚ قَدۡ بَدَتِ الۡبَغۡضَآءُ مِنۡ اَفۡوَاهِهِمۡ ۚ وَمَا تُخۡفِىۡ صُدُوۡرُهُمۡ اَكۡبَرُ ؕ قَدۡ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الۡاٰيٰتِ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ ١١٨
3:118
O believers! Do not take as confidantes those outside your circle who spare no effort to corrupt you. They wish to see you suffer. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their hearts conceal is far worse. We have certainly made the signs clear for you, if only you understand.
هٰۤاَنۡتُمۡ اُولَآءِ تُحِبُّوۡنَهُمۡ وَلَا يُحِبُّوۡنَكُمۡ وَتُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡكِتٰبِ كُلِّهٖ ۚ وَاِذَا لَقُوۡكُمۡ قَالُوۡۤا اٰمَنَّا ۙ وَاِذَا خَلَوۡا عَضُّوۡا عَلَيۡكُمُ الۡاَنَامِلَ مِنَ الۡغَيۡظِ ؕ قُلۡ مُوۡتُوۡا بِغَيۡظِكُمۡ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيۡمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوۡرِ ١١٩
3:119
There you are, loving them, yet they do not love you, although you believe in the whole of the Scripture. When they meet you, they say, “We believe,” but when they are alone, they bite their fingertips at you out of rage. Say, “Die in your rage!” Surely Allāh knows best what is hidden in the chest.
اِنۡ تَمۡسَسۡكُمۡ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤۡهُمۡ ۚ وَاِنۡ تُصِبۡكُمۡ سَيِّئَةٌ يَّفۡرَحُوۡا بِهَا ؕ وَاِنۡ تَصۡبِرُوۡا وَتَتَّقُوۡا لَا يَضُرُّكُمۡ كَيۡدُهُمۡ شَيۡـًٔا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ مُحِيۡطٌ ١٢٠
3:120
If anything good happens to you, it distresses them; and if any misfortune befalls you, they rejoice at it. But if you are patient and mindful ˹of Allāh˺, their schemes will not harm you at all. Indeed, Allāh encompasses whatever they do.
وَاِذۡ غَدَوۡتَ مِنۡ اَهۡلِكَ تُبَوِّئُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ مَقٰعِدَ لِلۡقِتَالِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِيۡعٌ عَلِيۡمٌ ١٢١
3:121
˹Remember, O Prophet,˺ when you left your family in the early morning to position the believers for battle ˹at Uḥud˺. And Allāh is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
اِذۡ هَمَّتۡ طَّآئِفَتٰنِ مِنۡكُمۡ اَنۡ تَفۡشَلَا ۙ وَاللّٰهُ وَلِيُّهُمَا ؕ وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ١٢٢
3:122
˹Remember˺ when two groups among you were about to lose courage, yet Allāh was their Guardian. And in Allāh let the believers put their trust.
وَلَقَدۡ نَصَرَكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِبَدۡرٍ وَّاَنۡتُمۡ اَذِلَّةٌ ۚ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُوۡنَ ١٢٣
3:123
Allāh had certainly granted you victory at Badr when you were few and weak. So be mindful of Allāh, so that you may be grateful.
اِذۡ تَقُوۡلُ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ اَلَنۡ يَّكۡفِيَكُمۡ اَنۡ يُّمِدَّكُمۡ رَبُّكُمۡ بِثَلٰثَةِ اٰلَافٍ مِّنَ الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةِ مُنۡزَلِيۡنَ ١٢٤
3:124
˹Remember˺ when you said to the believers, “Is it not enough for you that your Lord will reinforce you with three thousand angels sent down ˹from above˺?
بَلٰىۤ ۙ اِنۡ تَصۡبِرُوۡا وَتَتَّقُوۡا وَيَاۡتُوۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ فُوۡرِهِمۡ هٰذَا يُمۡدِدۡكُمۡ رَبُّكُمۡ بِخَمۡسَةِ اٰلَافٍ مِّنَ الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةِ مُسَوِّمِيۡنَ ١٢٥
3:125
Yes! If you are patient and mindful ˹of Allāh˺, and the enemy attacks you suddenly, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels, distinguished ˹by their marks˺.”
وَمَا جَعَلَهُ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بُشۡرٰى لَكُمۡ وَلِتَطۡمَٮِٕنَّ قُلُوۡبُكُمۡ بِهٖ ؕ وَمَا النَّصۡرُ اِلَّا مِنۡ عِنۡدِ اللّٰهِ الۡعَزِيۡزِ الۡحَكِيۡمِ ١٢٦
3:126
Allāh made it only as good news for you, and so that your hearts would be reassured by it. Victory comes only from Allāh, the Almighty, All-Wise.
لِيَقۡطَعَ طَرَفًا مِّنَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡۤا اَوۡ يَكۡبِتَهُمۡ فَيَنۡقَلِبُوۡا خَآٮِٕبِيۡنَ ١٢٧
3:127
˹This was˺ so He might cut off a group of the disbelievers or utterly disgrace them, causing them to retreat in failure.
لَيۡسَ لَكَ مِنَ الۡاَمۡرِ شَىۡءٌ اَوۡ يَتُوۡبَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ اَوۡ يُعَذِّبَهُمۡ فَاِنَّهُمۡ ظٰلِمُوۡنَ ١٢٨
3:128
You ˹O Prophet˺ have no say in the matter—whether Allāh forgives them or punishes them—for they are wrongdoers.
وَلِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ ؕ يَغۡفِرُ لِمَنۡ يَّشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ ١٢٩
3:129
To Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allāh is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَاۡكُلُوۡا الرِّبٰواۤ اَضۡعَافًا مُّضٰعَفَةً ۫ۖ وَّاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُوۡنَ ١٣٠
3:130
O believers! Do not consume interest, compounded over and over. Be mindful of Allāh, so that you may prosper.
وَاتَّقُوا النَّارَ الَّتِىۡۤ اُعِدَّتۡ لِلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ ١٣١
3:131
And guard against the Fire, which has been prepared for the disbelievers.
وَاَطِيۡعُوا اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوۡلَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُوۡنَ ١٣٢
3:132
And obey Allāh and the Messenger, so that you may be granted mercy.
وَسَارِعُوۡۤا اِلٰى مَغۡفِرَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرۡضُهَا السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالۡاَرۡضُ ۙ اُعِدَّتۡ لِلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ ١٣٣
3:133
And race towards your Lord’s forgiveness and a Paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the mindful ˹of Allāh˺.
الَّذِيۡنَ يُنۡفِقُوۡنَ فِى السَّرَّآءِ وَالضَّرَّآءِ وَالۡكٰظِمِيۡنَ الۡغَيۡظَ وَالۡعَافِيۡنَ عَنِ النَّاسِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يُحِبُّ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ ١٣٤
3:134
˹They are˺ those who donate in prosperity and adversity, control their anger, and pardon others. And Allāh loves the good-doers.
وَالَّذِيۡنَ اِذَا فَعَلُوۡا فٰحِشَةً اَوۡ ظَلَمُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ ذَكَرُوا اللّٰهَ فَاسۡتَغۡفَرُوۡا لِذُنُوۡبِهِمۡ ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّغۡفِرُ الذُّنُوۡبَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ ۫ۖ وَلَمۡ يُصِرُّوۡا عَلٰى مَا فَعَلُوۡا وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ١٣٥
3:135
And those who, when they commit a shameful deed or wrong themselves, remember Allāh and pray for the forgiveness of their sins—and who can forgive sins except Allāh? And they do not knowingly persist in their wrongdoing.
اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ جَزَآؤُهُمۡ مَّغۡفِرَةٌ مِّنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡ وَجَنّٰتٌ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَا ؕ وَنِعۡمَ اَجۡرُ الۡعٰمِلِيۡنَ ١٣٦
3:136
Their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and Gardens under which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. How excellent is the reward for the workers!
قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِنۡ قَبۡلِكُمۡ سُنَنٌ فَسِيۡرُوۡا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ فَانۡظُرُوۡا كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الۡمُكَذِّبِيۡنَ ١٣٧
3:137
There have been many ˹similar˺ events before you ˹O believers˺. So travel throughout the land and see what was the end of the deniers.
هٰذَا بَيَانٌ لِّلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَّمَوۡعِظَةٌ لِّلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ ١٣٨
3:138
This ˹Quran˺ is a clear statement for humanity, a guidance, and an admonition for the mindful ˹of Allāh˺.
وَلَا تَهِنُوۡا وَلَا تَحۡزَنُوۡا وَاَنۡتُمُ الۡاَعۡلَوۡنَ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ١٣٩
3:139
Do not falter or grieve, for you will have the upper hand, if you are truly believers.
اِنۡ يَّمۡسَسۡكُمۡ قَرۡحٌ فَقَدۡ مَسَّ الۡقَوۡمَ قَرۡحٌ مِّثۡلُهٗ ؕ وَتِلۡكَ الۡاَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيۡنَ النَّاسِ ۚ وَلِيَعۡلَمَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنۡكُمۡ شُهَدَآءَ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ ١٤٠
3:140
If you have suffered a setback, the others have suffered a similar setback. We alternate these days ˹of varying fortunes˺ among people so that Allāh may reveal the ˹true˺ believers and choose martyrs from among you. And Allāh does not like the wrongdoers.
وَلِيُمَحِّصَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَيَمۡحَقَ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ ١٤١
3:141
And so that Allāh may purify the believers and destroy the disbelievers.
اَمۡ حَسِبۡتُمۡ اَنۡ تَدۡخُلُوا الۡجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَعۡلَمِ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيۡنَ جٰهَدُوۡا مِنۡكُمۡ وَيَعۡلَمَ الصّٰبِرِيۡنَ ١٤٢
3:142
Do you think you will enter Paradise without Allāh knowing those among you who ˹truly˺ strive and knowing those who are steadfast?
وَلَقَدۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تَمَنَّوۡنَ الۡمَوۡتَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِ اَنۡ تَلۡقَوۡهُ فَقَدۡ رَاَيۡتُمُوۡهُ وَاَنۡتُمۡ تَنۡظُرُوۡنَ ١٤٣
3:143
You certainly wished for death before you encountered it, but now you have seen it with your own eyes.
وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ اِلَّا رَسُوۡلٌ ۚ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِ الرُّسُلُ ؕ اَفَا۟ٮِٕنۡ مَّاتَ اَوۡ قُتِلَ انۡقَلَبۡتُمۡ عَلٰٓى اَعۡقَابِكُمۡ ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّنۡقَلِبۡ عَلٰى عَقِبَيۡهِ فَلَنۡ يَّضُرَّ اللّٰهَ شَيۡـًٔا ؕ وَسَيَجۡزِى اللّٰهُ الشّٰكِرِيۡنَ ١٤٤
3:144
Muḥammad is no more than a Messenger, and certainly ˹many˺ Messengers came and passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you turn back on your heels? Whoever turns back on his heels will not harm Allāh whatsoever. And Allāh will reward the grateful.
وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفۡسٍ اَنۡ تَمُوۡتَ اِلَّا بِاِذۡنِ اللّٰهِ كِتٰبًا مُّؤَجَّلًا ؕ وَمَنۡ يُّرِدۡ ثَوَابَ الدُّنۡيَا نُؤۡتِهٖ مِنۡهَا ۚ وَمَنۡ يُّرِدۡ ثَوَابَ الۡاٰخِرَةِ نُؤۡتِهٖ مِنۡهَا ؕ وَسَنَجۡزِى الشّٰكِرِيۡنَ ١٤٥
3:145
No soul can ever die except by Allāh’s permission, at a term appointed. Whoever desires the reward of this world, We will grant it to him; and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter, We will grant it to him. And We will reward the grateful.
وَكَاَيِّنۡ مِّنۡ نَّبِىٍّ قٰتَلَ ۙ مَعَهٗ رِبِّيُّوۡنَ كَثِيۡرٌ ۙ فَمَا وَهَنُوۡا لِمَاۤ اَصَابَهُمۡ فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُوۡا وَمَا اسۡتَكَانُوۡا ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يُحِبُّ الصّٰبِرِيۡنَ ١٤٦
3:146
How many prophets fought, and along with them great numbers of godly people! They did not lose courage on account of what afflicted them in the cause of Allāh, nor did they weaken, nor did they surrender. And Allāh loves the steadfast.
وَمَا كَانَ قَوۡلَهُمۡ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ قَالُوۡا رَبَّنَا اغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوۡبَنَا وَاِسۡرَافَنَا فِىۡۤ اَمۡرِنَا وَثَبِّتۡ اَقۡدَامَنَا وَانۡصُرۡنَا عَلَى الۡقَوۡمِ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ ١٤٧
3:147
Their only words were, “Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and our excesses in our affairs, make our steps firm, and give us victory over the disbelieving people.”
فَاٰتٰٮهُمُ اللّٰهُ ثَوَابَ الدُّنۡيَا وَحُسۡنَ ثَوَابِ الۡاٰخِرَةِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يُحِبُّ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ ١٤٨
3:148
So Allāh gave them the reward of this world and the excellent reward of the Hereafter. And Allāh loves the good-doers.
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِنۡ تُطِيۡعُوا الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا يَرُدُّوۡكُمۡ عَلٰٓى اَعۡقَابِكُمۡ فَتَنۡقَلِبُوۡا خٰسِرِيۡنَ ١٤٩
3:149
O believers! If you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back on your heels, and you will return as losers.
بَلِ اللّٰهُ مَوۡلٰٮكُمۡ ۚ وَهُوَ خَيۡرُ النّٰصِرِيۡنَ ١٥٠
3:150
No! Allāh is your Protector, and He is the best of helpers.
سَنُلۡقِىۡ فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعۡبَ بِمَاۤ اَشۡرَكُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ مَا لَمۡ يُنَزِّلۡ بِهٖ سُلۡطٰنًا ۚ وَمَاۡوٰٮهُمُ النَّارُ ؕ وَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ ١٥١
3:151
We will cast horror into the hearts of those who disbelieve because they associate others with Allāh—a practice for which He has sent down no authority. Their destination is the Fire, and miserable is the abode of the wrongdoers.
وَلَقَدۡ صَدَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَعۡدَهٗۤ اِذۡ تَحُسُّوۡنَهُمۡ بِاِذۡنِهٖ ؕ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا فَشِلۡتُمۡ وَتَنَازَعۡتُمۡ فِى الۡاَمۡرِ وَعَصَيۡتُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مَاۤ اَرٰٮكُمۡ مَّا تُحِبُّوۡنَ ؕ مِنۡكُمۡ مَّنۡ يُّرِيۡدُ الدُّنۡيَا وَمِنۡكُمۡ مَّنۡ يُّرِيۡدُ الۡاٰخِرَةَ ۚ ثُمَّ صَرَفَكُمۡ عَنۡهُمۡ لِيَبۡتَلِيَكُمۡ ۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَفَا عَنۡكُمۡ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ ذُوۡ فَضۡلٍ عَلَى الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ١٥٢
3:152
Allāh certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were eliminating them by His leave, until you lost courage, disputed over the command, and disobeyed after He had showed you what you desired ˹the spoils of war˺. Among you were those who desired this world, and among you were those who desired the Hereafter. Then He turned you away from them to test you. Yet He has pardoned you. And Allāh is gracious to the believers.
اِذۡ تُصۡعِدُوۡنَ وَلَا تَلۡوٗنَ عَلٰٓى اَحَدٍ وَّالرَّسُوۡلُ يَدۡعُوۡكُمۡ فِىۡۤ اُخۡرٰٮكُمۡ فَاَثَابَكُمۡ غَمًّاۢ بِغَمٍّ لِّكَيۡلَا تَحۡزَنُوۡا عَلٰى مَا فَاتَكُمۡ وَلَا مَاۤ اَصَابَكُمۡ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ خَبِيۡرٌۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ١٥٣
3:153
˹Remember˺ when you were fleeing, paying no heed to anyone, and the Messenger was calling you from behind. So Allāh repaid you with distress upon distress, so that you would not grieve over what you missed or what afflicted you. And Allāh is All-Aware of what you do.
ثُمَّ اَنۡزَلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡدِ الۡغَمِّ اَمَنَةً نُّعَاسًا يَّغۡشٰى طَآٮِٕفَةً مِّنۡكُمۡ ۙ وَطَآٮِٕفَةٌ قَدۡ اَهَمَّتۡهُمۡ اَنۡفُسُهُمۡ يَظُنُّوۡنَ بِاللّٰهِ غَيۡرَ الۡحَقِّ ظَنَّ الۡجَاهِلِيَّةِ ؕ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ هَل لَّنَا مِنَ الۡاَمۡرِ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ ؕ قُلۡ اِنَّ الۡاَمۡرَ كُلَّهٗ لِلّٰهِ ؕ يُخۡفُوۡنَ فِىۡۤ اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ مَّا لَا يُبۡدُوۡنَ لَكَ ؕ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ لَوۡ كَانَ لَنَا مِنَ الۡاَمۡرِ شَىۡءٌ مَّا قُتِلۡنَا هٰهُنَا ؕ قُل لَّوۡ كُنۡتُمۡ فِىۡ بُيُوۡتِكُمۡ لَبَرَزَ الَّذِيۡنَ كُتِبَ عَلَيۡهِمُ الۡقَتۡلُ اِلٰى مَضَاجِعِهِمۡ ۚ وَلِيَبۡتَلِىَ اللّٰهُ مَا فِىۡ صُدُوۡرِكُمۡ وَلِيُمَحِّصَ مَا فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِكُمۡ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوۡرِ ١٥٤
3:154
Then after the distress, He sent down security upon you in the form of slumber overcoming a group of you, while another group was troubled by their own thoughts, entertaining false suspicions about Allāh—suspicions typical of the days of ignorance. They asked ˹one another˺, “Do we have any say in the matter?” Say, “The whole matter belongs to Allāh.” They conceal within themselves what they do not reveal to you, saying, “If we had any say in the matter, none of us would have been killed here.” Say, “Even if you had remained in your homes, those destined to be killed would have come forth to the places where they were to die.” This was so Allāh may test what is in your chests and purify what is in your hearts. And Allāh is All-Knowing of what is hidden in the chest.
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ تَوَلَّوۡا مِنۡكُمۡ يَوۡمَ الۡتَقَى الۡجَمۡعٰنِ ۙ اِنَّمَا اسۡتَزَلَّهُمُ الشَّيۡطٰنُ بِبَعۡضِ مَا كَسَبُوۡا ۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَفَا اللّٰهُ عَنۡهُمۡ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوۡرٌ حَلِيۡمٌ ١٥٥
3:155
Indeed, those of you who turned away on the day the two armies met, Satan only caused them to slip up because of some ˹sins˺ they had committed. But Allāh has certainly pardoned them. Surely Allāh is All-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَكُوۡنُوۡا كَالَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا وَقَالُوۡا لِاِخۡوَانِهِمۡ اِذَا ضَرَبُوۡا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ اَوۡ كَانُوۡا غُزًّى لَّوۡ كَانُوۡا عِنۡدَنَا مَا مَاتُوۡا وَمَا قُتِلُوۡا ۚ لِيَجۡعَلَ اللّٰهُ ذٰلِكَ حَسۡرَةً فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يُحۡىٖ وَيُمِيۡتُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ بَصِيۡرٌ ١٥٦
3:156
O believers! Do not be like the disbelievers who say about their brethren who died while travelling or fighting, “If only they had stayed with us, they would not have died or been killed.” Allāh makes that a source of regret in their hearts. Allāh gives life and causes death. And Allāh is All-Seeing of what you do.
وَلَٮِٕنۡ قُتِلۡتُمۡ فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ اَوۡ مُتُّمۡ لَمَغۡفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَحۡمَةٌ خَيۡرٌ مِّمَّا يَجۡمَعُوۡنَ ١٥٧
3:157
And if you are killed in the cause of Allāh or die, forgiveness from Allāh and mercy are far better than whatever they accumulate.
وَلَٮِٕنۡ مُّتُّمۡ اَوۡ قُتِلۡتُمۡ لَاِ اِلَى اللّٰهِ تُحۡشَرُوۡنَ ١٥٨
3:158
And whether you die or are killed, you will certainly be gathered to Allāh.
فَبِمَا رَحۡمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ لِنۡتَ لَهُمۡ ۚ وَلَوۡ كُنۡتَ فَظًّا غَلِيۡظَ الۡقَلۡبِ لَانۡفَضُّوۡا مِنۡ حَوۡلِكَ ۖ فَاعۡفُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَاسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ وَشَاوِرۡهُمۡ فِى الۡاَمۡرِ ۚ فَاِذَا عَزَمۡتَ فَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الۡمُتَوَكِّلِيۡنَ ١٥٩
3:159
It is only by a mercy from Allāh that you ˹O Prophet˺ were lenient with them. Had you been harsh and hard-hearted, they would have certainly disbanded from around you. So pardon them and ask for ˹Allāh’s˺ forgiveness for them, and consult with them in ˹conducting˺ matters. Once you make a decision, put your trust in Allāh. Surely Allāh loves those who trust ˹in Him˺.
اِنۡ يَّنۡصُرۡكُمُ اللّٰهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمۡ ۚ وَاِنۡ يَّخۡذُلۡكُمۡ فَمَنۡ ذَا الَّذِىۡ يَنۡصُرُكُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡدِهٖ ؕ وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ١٦٠
3:160
If Allāh helps you, none can overcome you. But if He abandons you, who then can help you after Him? So in Allāh let the believers put their trust.
وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِىٍّ اَنۡ يَّغُلَّ ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّغۡلُلۡ يَاۡتِ بِمَا غَلَّ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ ۚ ثُمَّ تُوَفّٰى كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُوۡنَ ١٦١
3:161
It is not conceivable for a prophet to defraud ˹the people˺. And whoever defrauds, will bring the object of his fraud on the Day of Judgment. Then every soul will be paid back fully for what it has earned, and none will be wronged.
اَفَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضۡوَانَ اللّٰهِ كَمَنۡۢ بَآءَ بِسَخَطٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَمَاۡوٰٮهُ جَهَنَّمُ ؕ وَبِئۡسَ الۡمَصِيۡرُ ١٦٢
3:162
Can a person who seeks the pleasure of Allāh be compared to one who incurs the displeasure of Allāh, and whose abode is Hell? What a terrible destination!
هُمۡ دَرَجٰتٌ عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بَصِيۡرٌۢ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ١٦٣
3:163
They are in varying ranks in the sight of Allāh. And Allāh is All-Seeing of what they do.
لَقَدۡ مَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَى الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ اِذۡ بَعَثَ فِيۡهِمۡ رَسُوۡلًا مِّنۡ اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ يَتۡلُوۡا عَلَيۡهِمۡ اٰيٰتِهٖ وَيُزَكِّيۡهِمۡ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الۡكِتٰبَ وَالۡحِكۡمَةَ ۚ وَاِنۡ كَانُوۡا مِنۡ قَبۡلُ لَفِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ ١٦٤
3:164
Allāh has certainly blessed the believers when He sent to them a Messenger from among themselves, reciting to them His revelations, purifying them, and teaching them the Scripture and wisdom, even though they were clearly astray before that.
اَوَلَمَّاۤ اَصَابَتۡكُمۡ مُّصِيۡبَةٌ قَدۡ اَصَبۡتُمۡ مِّثۡلَيۡهَا ۙ قُلۡتُمۡ اَنّٰى هٰذَا ؕ قُلۡ هُوَ مِنۡ عِنۡدِ اَنۡفُسِكُمۡ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌ ١٦٥
3:165
How is it that when a setback afflicted you—though you had inflicted twice as much ˹on the enemy at Badr˺—you cried, “How did this happen?” Say, “It is from your own selves ˹due to your disobedience˺.” Surely Allāh has power over everything.
وَمَاۤ اَصَابَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ الۡتَقَى الۡجَمۡعٰنِ فَبِاِذۡنِ اللّٰهِ وَلِيَعۡلَمَ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ١٦٦
3:166
And what afflicted you on the day the two armies met was by Allāh’s leave, so that He might reveal the true believers,
وَلِيَعۡلَمَ الَّذِيۡنَ نَافَقُوۡا ۚ وَقِيۡلَ لَهُمۡ تَعَالَوۡا قَاتِلُوۡا فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ اَوِ ادۡفَعُوۡا ؕ قَالُوۡا لَوۡ نَعۡلَمُ قِتَالًا لَّاتَّبَعۡنٰكُمۡ ؕ هُمۡ لِلۡكُفۡرِ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ اَقۡرَبُ مِنۡهُمۡ لِلۡاِيۡمَانِ ۚ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ بِاَفۡوَاهِهِمۡ مَّا لَيۡسَ فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَكۡتُمُوۡنَ ١٦٧
3:167
and reveal the hypocrites. When they were told, “Come, fight in the cause of Allāh or defend yourselves,” they replied, “If we knew there would be fighting, we would certainly follow you.” They were closer to disbelief on that day than to belief. They say with their mouths what is not in their hearts. And Allāh knows best what they conceal.
اَلَّذِيۡنَ قَالُوۡا لِاِخۡوَانِهِمۡ وَقَعَدُوۡا لَوۡ اَطَاعُوۡنَا مَا قُتِلُوۡا ؕ قُلۡ فَادۡرَءُوۡا عَنۡ اَنۡفُسِكُمُ الۡمَوۡتَ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ ١٦٨
3:168
They are the ones who stayed behind and said about their ˹killed˺ brethren, “If they had only obeyed us, they would not have been killed.” Say, “Then repel death from yourselves, if you are truthful!”
وَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ قُتِلُوۡا فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ اَمۡوَاتًا ؕ بَلۡ اَحۡيَآءٌ عِنۡدَ رَبِّهِمۡ يُرۡزَقُوۡنَ ١٦٩
3:169
Never think of those killed in the cause of Allāh as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, well provided for—
فَرِحِيۡنَ بِمَاۤ اٰتٰٮهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنۡ فَضۡلِهٖ ۙ وَيَسۡتَبۡشِرُوۡنَ بِالَّذِيۡنَ لَمۡ يَلۡحَقُوۡا بِهِمۡ مِّنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ ۙ اَلَّا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُوۡنَ ١٧٠
3:170
joyful in what Allāh has granted them of His grace, and delighting for those ˹believers˺ yet to join them, that they have no fear, nor will they grieve.
يَسۡتَبۡشِرُوۡنَ بِنِعۡمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَفَضۡلٍ وَّاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُضِيۡعُ اَجۡرَ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ١٧١
3:171
They rejoice at the favour and grace from Allāh, and that Allāh will not allow the reward of the believers to be lost.
اَلَّذِيۡنَ اسۡتَجَابُوۡا لِلّٰهِ وَالرَّسُوۡلِ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مَاۤ اَصَابَهُمُ الۡقَرۡحُ ۘ لِلَّذِيۡنَ اَحۡسَنُوۡا مِنۡهُمۡ وَاتَّقَوۡا اَجۡرٌ عَظِيۡمٌ ١٧٢
3:172
Those who responded to the call of Allāh and the Messenger after suffering a setback—for those among them who did good and were mindful ˹of Allāh˺, there will be a great reward.
اَلَّذِيۡنَ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ اِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدۡ جَمَعُوۡا لَكُمۡ فَاخۡشَوۡهُمۡ فَزَادَهُمۡ اِيۡمَانًا ۙ وَّقَالُوۡا حَسۡبُنَا اللّٰهُ وَنِعۡمَ الۡوَكِيۡلُ ١٧٣
3:173
Those who were warned, “The people have gathered against you, so fear them,”—but this only increased their faith, and they replied, “Allāh is sufficient for us, and ˹He is˺ the best Disposer of affairs.”
فَانۡقَلَبُوۡا بِنِعۡمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَفَضۡلٍ لَّمۡ يَمۡسَسۡهُمۡ سُوۡٓءٌ وَّاتَّبَعُوۡا رِضۡوَانَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ ذُوۡ فَضۡلٍ عَظِيۡمٍ ١٧٤
3:174
So they returned with favour and grace from Allāh, having suffered no harm, and followed the pleasure of Allāh. And Allāh is the possessor of infinite bounty.
اِنَّمَا ذٰلِكُمُ الشَّيۡطٰنُ يُخَوِّفُ اَوۡلِيَآءَهٗ ۖ فَلَا تَخَافُوۡهُمۡ وَخَافُوۡنِ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ١٧٥
3:175
It is only Satan who frightens ˹you with˺ his allies. So do not fear them, but fear Me, if you are ˹true˺ believers.
وَلَا يَحۡزُنۡكَ الَّذِيۡنَ يُسَارِعُوۡنَ فِى الۡكُفۡرِ ۚ اِنَّهُمۡ لَنۡ يَّضُرُّوا اللّٰهَ شَيۡـًٔا ؕ يُرِيۡدُ اللّٰهُ اَلَّا يَجۡعَلَ لَهُمۡ حَظًّا فِى الۡاٰخِرَةِ ۚ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيۡمٌ ١٧٦
3:176
Do not be grieved by those who rush into disbelief. They will never harm Allāh in the least. Allāh intends not to give them any share in the Hereafter, and they will suffer a tremendous punishment.
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اشۡتَرَوُا الۡكُفۡرَ بِالۡاِيۡمَانِ لَنۡ يَّضُرُّوا اللّٰهَ شَيۡـًٔا ۚ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌ ١٧٧
3:177
Indeed, those who exchange belief for disbelief will never harm Allāh in the least, and they will suffer a painful torment.
وَلَا يَحۡسَبَنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡۤا اَنَّمَا نُمۡلِىۡ لَهُمۡ خَيۡرٌ لّـِّلۡاَنۡفُسِهِمۡ ؕ اِنَّمَا نُمۡلِىۡ لَهُمۡ لِيَزۡدَادُوۡۤا اِثۡمًا ۚ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيۡنٌ ١٧٨
3:178
And let the disbelievers not assume that Our respite to them is good for their souls. We only respite them so they may increase in sin, and they will suffer a humiliating punishment.
مَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيَذَرَ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ عَلٰى مَاۤ اَنۡتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ حَتّٰى يَمِيۡزَ الۡخَبِيۡثَ مِنَ الطَّيِّبِ ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُطۡلِعَكُمۡ عَلَى الۡغَيۡبِ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَجۡتَبِىۡ مِنۡ رُّسُلِهٖ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ ۫ۖ فَاٰمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِهٖ ۚ وَاِنۡ تُؤۡمِنُوۡا وَتَتَّقُوۡا فَلَكُمۡ اَجۡرٌ عَظِيۡمٌ ١٧٩
3:179
Allāh would not leave the believers in the state you are in until He separates the wicked from the good. Nor would Allāh disclose the unseen to you, but Allāh chooses whoever He wills from His Messengers ˹for that privilege˺. So believe in Allāh and His Messengers. And if you believe and are mindful ˹of Allāh˺, then there will be a magnificent reward for you.
وَلَا يَحۡسَبَنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يَبۡخَلُوۡنَ بِمَاۤ اٰتٰٮهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنۡ فَضۡلِهٖ هُوَ خَيۡرًا لَّهُمۡ ؕ بَلۡ هُوَ شَرٌّ لَّهُمۡ ؕ سَيُطَوَّقُوۡنَ مَا بَخِلُوۡا بِهٖ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ ؕ وَلِلّٰهِ مِيۡرَاثُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ خَبِيۡرٌ ١٨٠
3:180
And let not those who withhold what Allāh has granted them of His grace think that it is good for them. Rather, it is evil for them. They will have what they withheld encircled around their necks on the Day of Judgment. And to Allāh belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth. And Allāh is All-Aware of what you do.
لَقَدۡ سَمِعَ اللّٰهُ قَوۡلَ الَّذِيۡنَ قَالُوۡۤا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ فَقِيۡرٌ وَّنَحۡنُ اَغۡنِيَآءُ ۘ سَنَكۡتُبُ مَا قَالُوۡا وَقَتۡلَهُمُ الۡاَنۡۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقٍّ وَّنَقُوۡلُ ذُوۡقُوۡا عَذَابَ الۡحَرِيۡقِ ١٨١
3:181
Allāh has certainly heard the words of those who said, “Allāh is poor, and we are rich.” We will record what they said and their unjustified killing of the prophets, and We will say, “Taste the torment of the burning Fire!”
ذٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ اَيۡدِيۡكُمۡ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَيۡسَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلۡعَبِيۡدِ ١٨٢
3:182
This is for what your hands have sent forth, and because Allāh is never unjust to ˹His˺ servants.
اَلَّذِيۡنَ قَالُوۡۤا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَهِدَ اِلَيۡنَاۤ اَلَّا نُؤۡمِنَ لِرَسُوۡلٍ حَتّٰى يَاۡتِيَنَا بِقُرۡبَانٍ تَاۡكُلُهُ النَّارُ ؕ قُلۡ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ رُسُلٌ مِّنۡ قَبۡلِىۡ بِالۡبَيِّنٰتِ وَبِالَّذِىۡ قُلۡتُمۡ فَلِمَ قَتَلۡتُمُوۡهُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ ١٨٣
3:183
˹They are˺ those who claimed, “Allāh has commanded us not to believe in any messenger unless he brings us an offering consumed by fire.” Say, “Messengers came to you before me with clear proofs and with what you requested. Why, then, did you kill them, if you are truthful?”
فَاِنۡ كَذَّبُوۡكَ فَقَدۡ كُذِّبَ رُسُلٌ مِّنۡ قَبۡلِكَ جَآءُوۡ بِالۡبَيِّنٰتِ وَالزُّبُرِ وَالۡكِتٰبِ الۡمُنِيۡرِ ١٨٤
3:184
So if they reject you ˹O Prophet˺, Messengers before you were also rejected, though they came with clear proofs, scriptures, and the enlightening Book.
كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ ذَآٮِٕقَةُ الۡمَوۡتِ ؕ وَاِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوۡنَ اُجُوۡرَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ ؕ فَمَنۡ زُحۡزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَاُدۡخِلَ الۡجَنَّةَ فَقَدۡ فَازَ ؕ وَمَا الۡحَيٰوةُ الدُّنۡيَاۤ اِلَّا مَتَاعُ الۡغُرُوۡرِ ١٨٥
3:185
Every soul will taste death. And you will only receive your full rewards on the Day of Judgment. So whoever is kept away from the Fire and admitted into Paradise is truly successful. And the life of this world is nothing but an enjoyment of delusion.
لَتُبۡلَوُنَّ فِىۡۤ اَمۡوَالِكُمۡ وَاَنۡفُسِكُمۡ ؕ وَلَتَسۡمَعُنَّ مِنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡكِتٰبَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِكُمۡ وَمِنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَشۡرَكُوۡۤا اَذًى كَثِيۡرًا ؕ وَاِنۡ تَصۡبِرُوۡا وَتَتَّقُوۡا فَاِنَّ ذٰلِكَ مِنۡ عَزۡمِ الۡاُمُوۡرِ ١٨٦
3:186
You will surely be tested in your wealth and in yourselves, and you will certainly hear many hurtful things from those who were given the Scripture before you and from the polytheists. But if you are patient and mindful ˹of Allāh˺—that is a matter of resolve.
وَاِذۡ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ مِيۡثَاقَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡكِتٰبَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهٗ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَكۡتُمُوۡنَهٗ ۫ فَنَبَذُوۡهُ وَرَآءَ ظُهُوۡرِهِمۡ وَاشۡتَرَوۡا بِهٖ ثَمَنًا قَلِيۡلًا ؕ فَبِئۡسَ مَا يَشۡتَرُوۡنَ ١٨٧
3:187
And ˹remember, O People of the Scripture,˺ when Allāh took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture: “You must make it clear to people and never hide it.” But they cast it behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price. What a miserable exchange!
لَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يَفۡرَحُوۡنَ بِمَاۤ اَتَوۡا وَّيُحِبُّوۡنَ اَنۡ يُّحۡمَدُوۡا بِمَا لَمۡ يَفۡعَلُوۡا فَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّهُمۡ بِمَفَازَةٍ مِّنَ الۡعَذَابِ ۚ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌ ١٨٨
3:188
Do not assume that those who rejoice in what they have done and love to be praised for what they have not done—do not assume they will escape the punishment. For them, there will be a painful torment.
وَلِلّٰهِ مُلۡكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌ ١٨٩
3:189
To Allāh belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. And Allāh is All-Powerful over everything.
اِنَّ فِىۡ خَلۡقِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَاخۡتِلَافِ الَّيۡلِ وَالنَّهَارِ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّاُولِى الۡاَلۡبَابِ ١٩٠
3:190
Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day, there are signs for people of reason.
الَّذِيۡنَ يَذۡكُرُوۡنَ اللّٰهَ قِيَامًا وَّقُعُوۡدًا وَّعَلٰى جُنُوۡبِهِمۡ وَيَتَفَكَّرُوۡنَ فِىۡ خَلۡقِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ ۚ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقۡتَ هٰذَا بَاطِلًا سُبۡحٰنَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ ١٩١
3:191
˹They are˺ those who remember Allāh while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth, ˹and pray,˺ “Our Lord! You have not created ˹all of˺ this pointlessly. Glory be to You! So save us from the torment of the Fire.
رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّكَ مَنۡ تُدۡخِلِ النَّارَ فَقَدۡ اَخۡزَيۡتَهٗ ؕ وَمَا لِلظّٰلِمِيۡنَ مِنۡ اَنۡصَارٍ ١٩٢
3:192
Our Lord! Indeed, whoever You admit into the Fire, You have disgraced them. And the wrongdoers will have no helpers.
رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّنَا سَمِعۡنَا مُنَادِيًا يُّنَادِىۡ لِلۡاِيۡمَانِ اَنۡ اٰمِنُوۡا بِرَبِّكُمۡ فَاٰمَنَّا ٚ رَبَّنَا فَاغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوۡبَنَا وَكَفِّرۡ عَنَّا سَيِّاٰتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ الۡاَبۡرَارِ ١٩٣
3:193
Our Lord! We have heard a caller inviting ˹us˺ to faith, ˹saying,˺ ‘Believe in your Lord,’ and we have believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins, absolve us of our misdeeds, and grant us death in the company of the virtuous.
رَبَّنَا وَاٰتِنَا مَا وَعَدۡتَّنَا عَلٰى رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخۡزِنَا يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ ؕ اِنَّكَ لَا تُخۡلِفُ الۡمِيۡعَادَ ١٩٤
3:194
Our Lord! Grant us what You promised us through Your Messengers, and do not disgrace us on the Day of Judgment. Surely You never break Your promise.”
فَاسۡتَجَابَ لَهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ اَنِّىۡ لَاۤ اُضِيۡعُ عَمَلَ عَامِلٍ مِّنۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ ذَكَرٍ اَوۡ اُنۡثٰى ۚ بَعۡضُكُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡضٍ ۚ فَالَّذِيۡنَ هَاجَرُوۡا وَاُخۡرِجُوۡا مِنۡ دِيَارِهِمۡ وَاُوۡذُوۡا فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِىۡ وَقٰتَلُوۡا وَقُتِلُوۡا لَاُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنۡهُمۡ سَيِّاٰتِهِمۡ وَلَاُدۡخِلَنَّهُمۡ جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ ۚ ثَوَابًا مِّنۡ عِنۡدِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عِنۡدَهٗ حُسۡنُ الثَّوَابِ ١٩٥
3:195
So their Lord responded to them: “I will never allow the deed of any worker among you to be lost, whether male or female; you are members of one another. So those who emigrated or were driven from their homes, and suffered harm in My cause, and fought and were killed—I will certainly absolve them of their misdeeds, and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, as a reward from Allāh. And Allāh has the best reward.”
لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ تَقَلُّبُ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا فِى الۡبِلَادِ ١٩٦
3:196
Do not be deceived by the disbelievers’ movement throughout the land ˹for trade˺.
مَتَاعٌ قَلِيۡلٌ ثُمَّ مَاۡوٰٮهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُ ؕ وَبِئۡسَ الۡمِهَادُ ١٩٧
3:197
It is a brief enjoyment, then their final home will be Hell. What a terrible resting-place!
لٰكِنِ الَّذِيۡنَ اتَّقَوۡا رَبَّهُمۡ لَهُمۡ جَنّٰتٌ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَا نُزُلًا مِّنۡ عِنۡدِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَمَا عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ خَيۡرٌ لِّلۡاَبۡرَارِ ١٩٨
3:198
But those who are mindful of their Lord will have Gardens under which rivers flow, abiding therein forever, as an accommodation from Allāh. And what Allāh has is far better for the virtuous.
وَاِنَّ مِنۡ اَهۡلِ الۡكِتٰبِ لَمَنۡ يُّؤۡمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكُمۡ وَمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡهِمۡ خٰشِعِيۡنَ لِلّٰهِ ۙ لَا يَشۡتَرُوۡنَ بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيۡلًا ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ لَهُمۡ اَجۡرُهُمۡ عِنۡدَ رَبِّهِمۡ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَرِيۡعُ الۡحِسَابِ ١٩٩
3:199
And indeed, there are some among the People of the Scripture who truly believe in Allāh and what has been revealed to you, and what has been revealed to them, humbling themselves before Allāh. They do not sell Allāh’s revelations for a small price. It is they who will have their reward with their Lord. Surely Allāh is swift in reckoning.
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوا اصۡبِرُوۡا وَصَابِرُوۡا وَرَابِطُوۡا وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُوۡنَ ٢٠٠
3:200
O believers! Be patient, persevere, be ready ˹to fight˺, and be mindful of Allāh, so that you may be successful.
