مِن From قَبْلُ before (this) هُدًۭى (as) guidance لِّلنَّاسِ for the mankind وَأَنزَلَ And (He) revealed ٱلْفُرْقَانَ ۗ the Criterion إِنَّ Verily ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve[d] بِـَٔايَـٰتِ in (the) Verses ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah لَهُمْ for them عَذَابٌۭ (is) a punishment شَدِيدٌۭ ۗ severe وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَزِيزٌۭ (is) All-Mighty ذُو All-Able ٱنتِقَامٍ (of) retribution ٤ (4)

Before, as guidance for the people. And He revealed the Criterion [i.e., the Qur’ān]. Indeed, those who disbelieve in the verses of Allāh will have a severe punishment, and Allāh is Exalted in Might, the Owner of Retribution.

٣:٥

إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَا not يَخْفَىٰ is hidden عَلَيْهِ from Him شَىْءٌۭ anything فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth وَلَا and not فِى in ٱلسَّمَآءِ the heaven ٥ (5)

٣:٧

هُوَ He ٱلَّذِىٓ (is) the One Who أَنزَلَ revealed عَلَيْكَ to you ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book مِنْهُ of it ءَايَـٰتٌۭ (are) Verses مُّحْكَمَـٰتٌ absolutely clear هُنَّ they (are) أُمُّ the foundation ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book وَأُخَرُ and others مُتَشَـٰبِهَـٰتٌۭ ۖ (are) allegorical فَأَمَّا Then as for ٱلَّذِينَ those فِى in قُلُوبِهِمْ their hearts زَيْغٌۭ (is) perversity فَيَتَّبِعُونَ [so] they follow مَا what تَشَـٰبَهَ (is) allegorical مِنْهُ of it ٱبْتِغَآءَ seeking ٱلْفِتْنَةِ [the] discord وَٱبْتِغَآءَ and seeking تَأْوِيلِهِۦ ۗ its interpretation وَمَا And not يَعْلَمُ knows تَأْوِيلَهُۥٓ its interpretation إِلَّا except ٱللَّهُ ۗ Allah وَٱلرَّٰسِخُونَ And those firm فِى in ٱلْعِلْمِ [the] knowledge يَقُولُونَ they say ءَامَنَّا We believe بِهِۦ in it كُلٌّۭ All مِّنْ (is) عِندِ from رَبِّنَا ۗ our Lord وَمَا And not يَذَّكَّرُ will take heed إِلَّآ except أُو۟لُوا۟ men ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ (of) understanding ٧ (7)

It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muḥammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific. As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allāh. But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.

٣:٨

رَبَّنَا Our Lord لَا (Do) not تُزِغْ deviate قُلُوبَنَا our hearts بَعْدَ after إِذْ [when] هَدَيْتَنَا You (have) guided us وَهَبْ and grant لَنَا (for) us مِن from لَّدُنكَ Yourself رَحْمَةً ۚ mercy إِنَّكَ Indeed You أَنتَ You ٱلْوَهَّابُ (are) the Bestower ٨ (8)

[Who say], "Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.

٣:٩

رَبَّنَآ Our Lord إِنَّكَ Indeed, You جَامِعُ will gather ٱلنَّاسِ [the] mankind لِيَوْمٍۢ on a Day لَّا (there is) no رَيْبَ doubt فِيهِ ۚ in it إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَا (does) not يُخْلِفُ break ٱلْمِيعَادَ the Promise ٩ (9)

Our Lord, surely You will gather the people for a Day about which there is no doubt. Indeed, Allāh does not fail in His promise."

٣:١٠

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve[d] لَن never تُغْنِىَ will avail عَنْهُمْ [for] them أَمْوَٰلُهُمْ their wealth وَلَآ and not أَوْلَـٰدُهُم their children مِّنَ against ٱللَّهِ Allah شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ anything وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ and those هُمْ they (are) وَقُودُ (the) fuel ٱلنَّارِ (for) the Fire ١٠ (10)

Indeed, those who disbelieve - never will their wealth or their children avail them against Allāh at all. And it is they who are fuel for the Fire.

٣:١١

كَدَأْبِ Like behavior ءَالِ (of the) people فِرْعَوْنَ (of) Firaun وَٱلَّذِينَ and those who مِن (were) from قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ before them كَذَّبُوا۟ They denied بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا Our Signs فَأَخَذَهُمُ so seized them ٱللَّهُ Allah بِذُنُوبِهِمْ ۗ for their sins وَٱللَّهُ And Allah شَدِيدُ (is) severe ٱلْعِقَابِ (in) [the] punishment ١١ (11)

[Theirs is] like the custom of the people of Pharaoh and those before them. They denied Our signs, so Allāh seized them for their sins. And Allāh is severe in penalty.

٣:١٢

قُل Say لِّلَّذِينَ to those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve[d] سَتُغْلَبُونَ You will be overcome وَتُحْشَرُونَ and you will be gathered إِلَىٰ to جَهَنَّمَ ۚ Hell وَبِئْسَ [and] an evil ٱلْمِهَادُ [the] resting place ١٢ (12)

Say to those who disbelieve, "You will be overcome and gathered together to Hell, and wretched is the resting place."

٣:١٣

قَدْ Surely كَانَ it was لَكُمْ for you ءَايَةٌۭ a sign فِى in فِئَتَيْنِ (the) two hosts ٱلْتَقَتَا ۖ which met فِئَةٌۭ one group تُقَـٰتِلُ fighting فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَأُخْرَىٰ and another كَافِرَةٌۭ disbelievers يَرَوْنَهُم They were seeing them مِّثْلَيْهِمْ twice of them رَأْىَ with the sight ٱلْعَيْنِ ۚ (of) their eyes وَٱللَّهُ And Allah يُؤَيِّدُ supports بِنَصْرِهِۦ with His help مَن whom يَشَآءُ ۗ He wills إِنَّ Indeed فِى in ذَٰلِكَ that لَعِبْرَةًۭ surely (is) a lesson لِّأُو۟لِى for the owners ٱلْأَبْصَـٰرِ (of) vision ١٣ (13)

Already there has been for you a sign in the two armies which met [in combat at Badr] - one fighting in the cause of Allāh and another of disbelievers. They saw them [to be] twice their [own] number by [their] eyesight. But Allāh supports with His victory whom He wills. Indeed in that is a lesson for those of vision.

٣:١٤

زُيِّنَ Beautified لِلنَّاسِ for mankind حُبُّ (is) love ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ (of) the (things they) desire مِنَ of ٱلنِّسَآءِ [the] women وَٱلْبَنِينَ and [the] sons وَٱلْقَنَـٰطِيرِ and [the] heaps ٱلْمُقَنطَرَةِ [the] stored up مِنَ of ٱلذَّهَبِ [the] gold وَٱلْفِضَّةِ and [the] silver وَٱلْخَيْلِ and [the] horses ٱلْمُسَوَّمَةِ [the] branded وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ and [the] cattle وَٱلْحَرْثِ ۗ and [the] tilled land ذَٰلِكَ That مَتَـٰعُ (is) provision ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ (of) life ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ (of) the world وَٱللَّهُ but Allah عِندَهُۥ with Him حُسْنُ (is an) excellent ٱلْمَـَٔابِ [the] abode to return ١٤ (14)

Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allāh has with Him the best return [i.e., Paradise].

٣:١٥

۞ قُلْ Say أَؤُنَبِّئُكُم Shall I inform you بِخَيْرٍۢ of better مِّن than ذَٰلِكُمْ ۚ that لِلَّذِينَ For those who ٱتَّقَوْا۟ fear[ed] عِندَ with رَبِّهِمْ their Lord جَنَّـٰتٌۭ (are) Gardens تَجْرِى flows مِن from تَحْتِهَا underneath them ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ [the] rivers خَـٰلِدِينَ abiding forever فِيهَا in it وَأَزْوَٰجٌۭ and spouses مُّطَهَّرَةٌۭ pure وَرِضْوَٰنٌۭ and approval مِّنَ from ٱللَّهِ ۗ Allah وَٱللَّهُ And Allah بَصِيرٌۢ (is) All-Seer بِٱلْعِبَادِ of (His) slaves ١٥ (15)

Say, "Shall I inform you of [something] better than that? For those who fear Allāh will be gardens in the presence of their Lord beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally, and purified spouses and approval from Allāh. And Allāh is Seeing [i.e., aware] of [His] servants -

٣:١٦

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who يَقُولُونَ say رَبَّنَآ Our Lord إِنَّنَآ Indeed, we ءَامَنَّا (have) believed فَٱغْفِرْ so forgive لَنَا for us ذُنُوبَنَا our sins وَقِنَا and save us عَذَابَ (from) punishment ٱلنَّارِ (of) the Fire ١٦ (16)

Those who say, "Our Lord, indeed we have believed, so forgive us our sins and protect us from the punishment of the Fire,"

٣:١٧

ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ The patient وَٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ and the truthful وَٱلْقَـٰنِتِينَ and the obedient وَٱلْمُنفِقِينَ and those who spend وَٱلْمُسْتَغْفِرِينَ and those who seek forgiveness بِٱلْأَسْحَارِ [in the] before dawn ١٧ (17)

The patient, the true, the obedient, those who spend [in the way of Allāh], and those who seek forgiveness before dawn.

٣:١٨

شَهِدَ Bears witness ٱللَّهُ Allah أَنَّهُۥ that [He] لَآ (there is) no إِلَـٰهَ god إِلَّا except هُوَ Him وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ and (so do) the Angels وَأُو۟لُوا۟ and owners ٱلْعِلْمِ (of) [the] knowledge قَآئِمًۢا standing بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۚ in justice لَآ (There is) no إِلَـٰهَ god إِلَّا except هُوَ Him ٱلْعَزِيزُ the All-Mighty ٱلْحَكِيمُ the All-Wise ١٨ (18)

Allāh witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

٣:١٩

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلدِّينَ the religion عِندَ near ٱللَّهِ Allah ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمُ ۗ (is) Islam وَمَا And not ٱخْتَلَفَ differed ٱلَّذِينَ those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book إِلَّا except مِنۢ from بَعْدِ after مَا [what] جَآءَهُمُ came to them ٱلْعِلْمُ [the] knowledge بَغْيًۢا out of envy بَيْنَهُمْ ۗ among them وَمَن And whoever يَكْفُرْ disbelieves بِـَٔايَـٰتِ in (the) Verses ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah سَرِيعُ (is) swift ٱلْحِسَابِ (in taking) account ١٩ (19)

Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allāh is Islām. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allāh, then indeed, Allāh is swift in [taking] account.

٣:٢٠

فَإِنْ Then if حَآجُّوكَ they argue with you فَقُلْ then say أَسْلَمْتُ I have submitted وَجْهِىَ myself لِلَّهِ to Allah وَمَنِ and (those) who ٱتَّبَعَنِ ۗ follow me وَقُل And say لِّلَّذِينَ to those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book وَٱلْأُمِّيِّـۧنَ and the unlettered people ءَأَسْلَمْتُمْ ۚ Have you submitted yourselves فَإِنْ Then if أَسْلَمُوا۟ they submit فَقَدِ then surely ٱهْتَدَوا۟ ۖ they are guided وَّإِن But if تَوَلَّوْا۟ they turn back فَإِنَّمَا then only عَلَيْكَ on you ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ۗ (is) to [the] convey وَٱللَّهُ And Allah بَصِيرٌۢ (is) All-Seer بِٱلْعِبَادِ of [His] slaves ٢٠ (20)

So if they argue with you, say, "I have submitted myself to Allāh [in Islām], and [so have] those who follow me." And say to those who were given the Scripture and [to] the unlearned, "Have you submitted yourselves?" And if they submit [in Islām], they are rightly guided; but if they turn away - then upon you is only the [duty of] notification. And Allāh is Seeing of [His] servants.

٣:٢١

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَكْفُرُونَ disbelieve بِـَٔايَـٰتِ in (the) Signs (of) ٱللَّهِ Allah وَيَقْتُلُونَ and they kill ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ the Prophets بِغَيْرِ without حَقٍّۢ right وَيَقْتُلُونَ and they kill ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَأْمُرُونَ order بِٱلْقِسْطِ [with] justice مِنَ among ٱلنَّاسِ the people فَبَشِّرْهُم then give them tidings بِعَذَابٍ of a punishment أَلِيمٍ painful ٢١ (21)

Those who disbelieve in the signs of Allāh and kill the prophets without right and kill those who order justice from among the people - give them tidings of a painful punishment.

٣:٢٢

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those ٱلَّذِينَ (are) the ones who حَبِطَتْ became worthless أَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ their deeds فِى in ٱلدُّنْيَا the world وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ and (in) the Hereafter وَمَا And not لَهُم (will be) for them مِّن any نَّـٰصِرِينَ helpers ٢٢ (22)

They are the ones whose deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and for them there will be no helpers.

٣:٢٣

أَلَمْ Have not تَرَ you seen إِلَى [to] ٱلَّذِينَ those who أُوتُوا۟ were given نَصِيبًۭا a portion مِّنَ of ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ the Scripture يُدْعَوْنَ They are invited إِلَىٰ to كِتَـٰبِ (the) Book ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah لِيَحْكُمَ that (it should) arbitrate بَيْنَهُمْ between them ثُمَّ then يَتَوَلَّىٰ turns away فَرِيقٌۭ a party مِّنْهُمْ of them وَهُم and they (are) مُّعْرِضُونَ those who are averse ٢٣ (23)

Do you not consider, [O Muḥammad], those who were given a portion of the Scripture? They are invited to the Scripture of Allāh that it should arbitrate between them; then a party of them turns away, and they are refusing.

٣:٢٤

ذَٰلِكَ That بِأَنَّهُمْ (is) because they قَالُوا۟ say لَن Never تَمَسَّنَا will touch us ٱلنَّارُ the Fire إِلَّآ except أَيَّامًۭا (for) days مَّعْدُودَٰتٍۢ ۖ numbered وَغَرَّهُمْ And deceived them فِى in دِينِهِم their religion مَّا what كَانُوا۟ they were يَفْتَرُونَ inventing ٢٤ (24)

That is because they say, "Never will the Fire touch us except for [a few] numbered days," and [because] they were deluded in their religion by what they were inventing.

٣:٢٥

فَكَيْفَ Then how (will it be) إِذَا when جَمَعْنَـٰهُمْ We will gather them لِيَوْمٍۢ on a Day لَّا no رَيْبَ doubt فِيهِ in it وَوُفِّيَتْ And will be paid in full كُلُّ every نَفْسٍۢ soul مَّا what كَسَبَتْ it earned وَهُمْ and they لَا (will) not يُظْلَمُونَ be wronged ٢٥ (25)

So how will it be when We assemble them for a Day about which there is no doubt? And each soul will be compensated [in full for] what it earned, and they will not be wronged.

٣:٢٦

قُلِ Say ٱللَّهُمَّ O Allah مَـٰلِكَ Owner ٱلْمُلْكِ (of) the Dominion تُؤْتِى You give ٱلْمُلْكَ the dominion مَن (to) whom تَشَآءُ You will وَتَنزِعُ and You take away ٱلْمُلْكَ the dominion مِمَّن from whom تَشَآءُ You will وَتُعِزُّ and You honor مَن whom تَشَآءُ You will وَتُذِلُّ and You humiliate مَن whom تَشَآءُ ۖ You will بِيَدِكَ In Your hand ٱلْخَيْرُ ۖ (is all) the good إِنَّكَ Indeed, You عَلَىٰ (are) on كُلِّ every شَىْءٍۢ thing قَدِيرٌۭ All-Powerful ٢٦ (26)

Say, "O Allāh, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.

٣:٢٧

تُولِجُ You cause to enter ٱلَّيْلَ the night فِى in ٱلنَّهَارِ the day وَتُولِجُ and You cause to enter ٱلنَّهَارَ the day فِى in ٱلَّيْلِ ۖ the night وَتُخْرِجُ and You bring forth ٱلْحَىَّ the living مِنَ from ٱلْمَيِّتِ the dead وَتُخْرِجُ and You bring forth ٱلْمَيِّتَ the dead مِنَ from ٱلْحَىِّ ۖ the living وَتَرْزُقُ and You give provision مَن (to) whom تَشَآءُ You will بِغَيْرِ without حِسَابٍۢ measure ٢٧ (27)

You cause the night to enter the day, and You cause the day to enter the night; and You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give provision to whom You will without account [i.e., limit or measure]."

٣:٢٨

لَّا (Let) not يَتَّخِذِ take ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ the believers ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers أَوْلِيَآءَ (as) allies مِن from دُونِ instead of ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۖ the believers وَمَن And whoever يَفْعَلْ does ذَٰلِكَ that فَلَيْسَ then not he (has) مِنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah فِى in شَىْءٍ anything إِلَّآ except أَن that تَتَّقُوا۟ you fear مِنْهُمْ from them تُقَىٰةًۭ ۗ (as) a precaution وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ And warns you ٱللَّهُ Allah نَفْسَهُۥ ۗ (of) Himself وَإِلَى and to ٱللَّهِ Allah ٱلْمَصِيرُ (is) the final return ٢٨ (28)

Let not believers take disbelievers as allies [i.e., supporters or protectors] rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing [i.e., no association] with Allāh, except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allāh warns you of Himself, and to Allāh is the [final] destination.

٣:٢٩

قُلْ Say إِن Whether تُخْفُوا۟ you conceal مَا what فِى (is) in صُدُورِكُمْ your breasts أَوْ or تُبْدُوهُ you disclose it يَعْلَمْهُ knows it ٱللَّهُ ۗ Allah وَيَعْلَمُ And He knows مَا what فِى (is) in ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَمَا and what فِى (is) in ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ the earth وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلَىٰ (is) on كُلِّ every شَىْءٍۢ thing قَدِيرٌۭ All-Powerful ٢٩ (29)

Say, "Whether you conceal what is in your breasts or reveal it, Allāh knows it. And He knows that which is in the heavens and that which is on the earth. And Allāh is over all things competent.

٣:٣٠

يَوْمَ (On the) day تَجِدُ will find كُلُّ every نَفْسٍۢ soul مَّا what عَمِلَتْ it did مِنْ of خَيْرٍۢ good مُّحْضَرًۭا presented وَمَا and what عَمِلَتْ it did مِن of سُوٓءٍۢ evil تَوَدُّ it will wish لَوْ [if] أَنَّ that بَيْنَهَا between itself وَبَيْنَهُۥٓ and between it (evil) أَمَدًۢا (was) a distance بَعِيدًۭا ۗ great وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ And warns you ٱللَّهُ Allah نَفْسَهُۥ ۗ (against) Himself وَٱللَّهُ and Allah رَءُوفٌۢ (is) Most Kind بِٱلْعِبَادِ to (His) [the] slaves ٣٠ (30)

The Day every soul will find what it has done of good present [before it] and what it has done of evil, it will wish that between itself and that [evil] was a great distance. And Allāh warns you of Himself, and Allāh is Kind to [His] servants."

٣:٣١

قُلْ Say إِن If كُنتُمْ you تُحِبُّونَ love ٱللَّهَ Allah فَٱتَّبِعُونِى then follow me يُحْبِبْكُمُ will love you ٱللَّهُ Allah وَيَغْفِرْ and He will forgive لَكُمْ for you ذُنُوبَكُمْ ۗ your sins وَٱللَّهُ And Allah غَفُورٌۭ (is) Oft-Forgiving رَّحِيمٌۭ Most Merciful ٣١ (31)

Say, [O Muḥammad], "If you should love Allāh, then follow me, [so] Allāh will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful."

٣:٣٢

قُلْ Say أَطِيعُوا۟ Obey ٱللَّهَ Allah وَٱلرَّسُولَ ۖ and the Messenger فَإِن Then if تَوَلَّوْا۟ they turn away فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَا (does) not يُحِبُّ love ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers ٣٢ (32)

Say, "Obey Allāh and the Messenger. But if you turn away - then indeed, Allāh does not like the disbelievers."

٣:٣٣

۞ إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ chose ءَادَمَ Adam وَنُوحًۭا and Nuh وَءَالَ and (the) family إِبْرَٰهِيمَ (of) Ibrahim وَءَالَ and (the) family عِمْرَٰنَ (of) Imran عَلَى over ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ the worlds ٣٣ (33)

Indeed, Allāh chose Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of ʿImrān over the worlds -

٣:٣٤

ذُرِّيَّةًۢ Descendents بَعْضُهَا some of them مِنۢ from بَعْضٍۢ ۗ others وَٱللَّهُ And Allah سَمِيعٌ (is) All-Hearing عَلِيمٌ All-Knowing ٣٤ (34)

Descendants, some of them from others. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.

٣:٣٥

إِذْ When قَالَتِ [she] said ٱمْرَأَتُ (the) wife عِمْرَٰنَ (of) Imran رَبِّ My Lord إِنِّى Indeed, I نَذَرْتُ [I] vowed لَكَ to You مَا what فِى (is) in بَطْنِى my womb مُحَرَّرًۭا dedicated فَتَقَبَّلْ so accept مِنِّىٓ ۖ from me إِنَّكَ Indeed, You أَنتَ You ٱلسَّمِيعُ (are) the All-Hearing ٱلْعَلِيمُ the All-Knowing ٣٥ (35)

[Mention, O Muḥammad], when the wife of ʿImrān said, "My Lord, indeed I have pledged to You what is in my womb, consecrated [for Your service], so accept this from me. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing."

٣:٣٦

فَلَمَّا Then when وَضَعَتْهَا she delivered her قَالَتْ she said رَبِّ My Lord إِنِّى indeed I وَضَعْتُهَآ [I] (have) delivered [her] أُنثَىٰ a female وَٱللَّهُ And Allah أَعْلَمُ knows better بِمَا [of] what وَضَعَتْ she delivered وَلَيْسَ and is not ٱلذَّكَرُ the male كَٱلْأُنثَىٰ ۖ like the female وَإِنِّى And that I سَمَّيْتُهَا [I] (have) named her مَرْيَمَ Maryam وَإِنِّىٓ and that I أُعِيذُهَا [I] seek refuge for her بِكَ in You وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا and her offspring مِنَ from ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ the Shaitaan ٱلرَّجِيمِ the rejected ٣٦ (36)

But when she delivered her, she said, "My Lord, I have delivered a female." And Allāh was most knowing of what she delivered, and the male is not like the female. "And I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of Allāh]."

٣:٣٧

فَتَقَبَّلَهَا So accepted her رَبُّهَا her Lord بِقَبُولٍ with acceptance حَسَنٍۢ good وَأَنۢبَتَهَا and reared her نَبَاتًا a rearing حَسَنًۭا good وَكَفَّلَهَا and put her in (the) care زَكَرِيَّا ۖ (of) Zakariya كُلَّمَا Whenever دَخَلَ entered عَلَيْهَا upon her زَكَرِيَّا Zakariya ٱلْمِحْرَابَ [the] prayer chamber وَجَدَ he found عِندَهَا with her رِزْقًۭا ۖ provision قَالَ He said يَـٰمَرْيَمُ O Maryam أَنَّىٰ From where لَكِ for you هَـٰذَا ۖ (is) this قَالَتْ She said هُوَ This مِنْ (is) عِندِ from ٱللَّهِ ۖ Allah إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يَرْزُقُ gives provision مَن (to) whom يَشَآءُ He wills بِغَيْرِ without حِسَابٍ measure ٣٧ (37)

So her Lord accepted her with good acceptance and caused her to grow in a good manner and put her in the care of Zechariah. Every time Zechariah entered upon her in the prayer chamber, he found with her provision. He said, "O Mary, from where is this [coming] to you?" She said, "It is from Allāh. Indeed, Allāh provides for whom He wills without account."

٣:٣٨

هُنَالِكَ There only دَعَا invoked زَكَرِيَّا Zakariya رَبَّهُۥ ۖ his Lord قَالَ he said رَبِّ My Lord هَبْ grant لِى [for] me مِن from لَّدُنكَ Yourself ذُرِّيَّةًۭ offspring طَيِّبَةً ۖ pure إِنَّكَ Indeed, You سَمِيعُ (are) All-Hearer ٱلدُّعَآءِ (of) the prayer ٣٨ (38)

At that, Zechariah called upon his Lord, saying, "My Lord, grant me from Yourself a good offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication."

٣:٣٩

فَنَادَتْهُ Then called him ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ the Angels وَهُوَ when he قَآئِمٌۭ (was) standing يُصَلِّى praying فِى in ٱلْمِحْرَابِ the prayer chamber أَنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يُبَشِّرُكَ gives you glad tidings بِيَحْيَىٰ of Yahya مُصَدِّقًۢا confirming بِكَلِمَةٍۢ [of] a Word مِّنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah وَسَيِّدًۭا and a noble وَحَصُورًۭا and chaste وَنَبِيًّۭا and a Prophet مِّنَ among ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ the righteous ٣٩ (39)

So the angels called him while he was standing in prayer in the chamber, "Indeed, Allāh gives you good tidings of John, confirming a word from Allāh and [who will be] honorable, abstaining [from women], and a prophet from among the righteous."

٣:٤٠

قَالَ He said رَبِّ My Lord أَنَّىٰ how يَكُونُ can (there) be لِى for me غُلَـٰمٌۭ a son وَقَدْ and verily بَلَغَنِىَ has reached me ٱلْكِبَرُ [the] old age وَٱمْرَأَتِى and my wife عَاقِرٌۭ ۖ (is) [a] barren قَالَ He said كَذَٰلِكَ Thus ٱللَّهُ Allah يَفْعَلُ does مَا what يَشَآءُ He wills ٤٠ (40)

He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when I have reached old age and my wife is barren?" He [the angel] said, "Such is Allāh; He does what He wills."

٣:٤١

قَالَ He said رَبِّ My Lord ٱجْعَل make لِّىٓ for me ءَايَةًۭ ۖ a sign قَالَ He said ءَايَتُكَ your sign أَلَّا (is) that not تُكَلِّمَ you will speak ٱلنَّاسَ (to) the people ثَلَـٰثَةَ (for) three أَيَّامٍ days إِلَّا except رَمْزًۭا ۗ (with) gestures وَٱذْكُر And remember رَّبَّكَ your Lord كَثِيرًۭا much وَسَبِّحْ and glorify (Him) بِٱلْعَشِىِّ in the evening وَٱلْإِبْكَـٰرِ and (in) the morning ٤١ (41)

He said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not [be able to] speak to the people for three days except by gesture. And remember your Lord much and exalt [Him with praise] in the evening and the morning."

٣:٤٢

وَإِذْ And when قَالَتِ said ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ the Angels يَـٰمَرْيَمُ O Maryam إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah ٱصْطَفَىٰكِ (has) chosen you وَطَهَّرَكِ and purified you وَٱصْطَفَىٰكِ and chosen you عَلَىٰ over نِسَآءِ (the) women ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ (of) the worlds ٤٢ (42)

And [mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allāh has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds.

٣:٤٣

يَـٰمَرْيَمُ O Maryam ٱقْنُتِى Be obedient لِرَبِّكِ to your Lord وَٱسْجُدِى and prostrate وَٱرْكَعِى and bow down مَعَ with ٱلرَّٰكِعِينَ those who bow down ٤٣ (43)

O Mary, be devoutly obedient to your Lord and prostrate and bow with those who bow [in prayer]."

٣:٤٤

ذَٰلِكَ That مِنْ (is) from أَنۢبَآءِ (the) news ٱلْغَيْبِ (of) the unseen نُوحِيهِ We reveal it إِلَيْكَ ۚ to you وَمَا And not كُنتَ you were لَدَيْهِمْ with them إِذْ when يُلْقُونَ they cast أَقْلَـٰمَهُمْ their pens أَيُّهُمْ (as to) which of them يَكْفُلُ takes charge (of) مَرْيَمَ Maryam وَمَا and not كُنتَ you were لَدَيْهِمْ with them إِذْ when يَخْتَصِمُونَ they (were) disputing ٤٤ (44)

That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muḥammad]. And you were not with them when they cast their pens as to which of them should be responsible for Mary. Nor were you with them when they disputed.

٣:٤٥

إِذْ When قَالَتِ said ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ the Angels يَـٰمَرْيَمُ O Maryam إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يُبَشِّرُكِ gives you glad tidings بِكَلِمَةٍۢ of a word مِّنْهُ from Him ٱسْمُهُ his name ٱلْمَسِيحُ (is) the Messiah عِيسَى Isa ٱبْنُ son مَرْيَمَ (of) Maryam وَجِيهًۭا honored فِى in ٱلدُّنْيَا the world وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ and (in) the Hereafter وَمِنَ and of ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ those brought near (to Allah) ٤٥ (45)

[And mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allāh gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allāh].

٣:٤٦

وَيُكَلِّمُ And he will speak ٱلنَّاسَ (to) the people فِى in ٱلْمَهْدِ the cradle وَكَهْلًۭا and (in) maturity وَمِنَ and (he will be) of ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ the righteous ٤٦ (46)

He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous."

٣:٤٧

قَالَتْ She said رَبِّ My Lord أَنَّىٰ how يَكُونُ is [it] لِى for me وَلَدٌۭ a boy وَلَمْ and (has) not يَمْسَسْنِى touch(ed) me بَشَرٌۭ ۖ any man قَالَ He said كَذَٰلِكِ Thus ٱللَّهُ Allah يَخْلُقُ creates مَا what يَشَآءُ ۚ He wills إِذَا When قَضَىٰٓ He decrees أَمْرًۭا a matter فَإِنَّمَا then only يَقُولُ He says لَهُۥ to it كُن Be فَيَكُونُ and it becomes ٤٧ (47)

She said, "My Lord, how will I have a child when no man has touched me?" [The angel] said, "Such is Allāh; He creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is.

٣:٤٨

وَيُعَلِّمُهُ And He will teach him ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ and [the] wisdom وَٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ and the Taurat وَٱلْإِنجِيلَ and the Injeel ٤٨ (48)

And He will teach him writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel

٣:٤٩

وَرَسُولًا And (make him) a Messenger إِلَىٰ to بَنِىٓ (the) Children إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ (of) Israel أَنِّى Indeed, I قَدْ [surely] جِئْتُكُم [I] (have) come (to) you بِـَٔايَةٍۢ with a sign مِّن from رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ your Lord أَنِّىٓ that I أَخْلُقُ [I] design لَكُم for you مِّنَ from ٱلطِّينِ [the] clay كَهَيْـَٔةِ like the form ٱلطَّيْرِ (of) the bird فَأَنفُخُ then I breath فِيهِ into it فَيَكُونُ and it becomes طَيْرًۢا a bird بِإِذْنِ by (the) permission ٱللَّهِ ۖ (of) Allah وَأُبْرِئُ And I cure ٱلْأَكْمَهَ the blind وَٱلْأَبْرَصَ and the leper وَأُحْىِ and I give life ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ (to) the dead بِإِذْنِ by (the) permission ٱللَّهِ ۖ (of) Allah وَأُنَبِّئُكُم And I inform you بِمَا of what تَأْكُلُونَ you eat وَمَا and what تَدَّخِرُونَ you store فِى in بُيُوتِكُمْ ۚ your houses إِنَّ Indeed فِى in ذَٰلِكَ that لَـَٔايَةًۭ (is) surely a sign لَّكُمْ for you إِن if كُنتُم you are مُّؤْمِنِينَ believers ٤٩ (49)

And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allāh. And I cure the blind [from birth] and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allāh. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.

٣:٥٠

وَمُصَدِّقًۭا And confirming لِّمَا that which بَيْنَ (was) يَدَىَّ before me مِنَ of ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ the Taurat وَلِأُحِلَّ and so that I make lawful لَكُم for you بَعْضَ some ٱلَّذِى (of) that which حُرِّمَ was forbidden عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ to you وَجِئْتُكُم And I (have) come to you بِـَٔايَةٍۢ with a sign مِّن from رَّبِّكُمْ your Lord فَٱتَّقُوا۟ So fear ٱللَّهَ Allah وَأَطِيعُونِ and obey me ٥٠ (50)

And [I have come] confirming what was before me of the Torah and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. And I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear Allāh and obey me.

٣:٥١

إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah رَبِّى (is) my Lord وَرَبُّكُمْ and your Lord فَٱعْبُدُوهُ ۗ so worship Him هَـٰذَا This صِرَٰطٌۭ (is) the path مُّسْتَقِيمٌۭ straight ٥١ (51)

Indeed, Allāh is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is the straight path.'"

٣:٥٢

۞ فَلَمَّآ Then when أَحَسَّ perceived عِيسَىٰ Isa مِنْهُمُ from them ٱلْكُفْرَ [the] disbelief قَالَ he said مَنْ Who أَنصَارِىٓ (will be) my helpers إِلَى to ٱللَّهِ ۖ Allah قَالَ Said ٱلْحَوَارِيُّونَ the disciples نَحْنُ We أَنصَارُ (will be the) helpers ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah ءَامَنَّا we believe[d] بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَٱشْهَدْ and bear witness بِأَنَّا that we مُسْلِمُونَ (are) Muslims ٥٢ (52)

But when Jesus felt [persistence in] disbelief from them, he said, "Who are my supporters for [the cause of] Allāh?" The disciples said, "We are supporters for Allāh. We have believed in Allāh and testify that we are Muslims [submitting to Him].

٣:٥٣

رَبَّنَآ Our Lord ءَامَنَّا we believe[d] بِمَآ in what أَنزَلْتَ You revealed وَٱتَّبَعْنَا and we follow[ed] ٱلرَّسُولَ the Messenger فَٱكْتُبْنَا then write us مَعَ among ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ the witnesses ٥٣ (53)

Our Lord, we have believed in what You revealed and have followed the messenger [i.e., Jesus], so register us among the witnesses [to truth]."

٣:٥٤

وَمَكَرُوا۟ And they schemed وَمَكَرَ and planned ٱللَّهُ ۖ Allah وَٱللَّهُ And Allah خَيْرُ (is the) best ٱلْمَـٰكِرِينَ (of) the planners ٥٤ (54)

And they [i.e., the disbelievers] planned, but Allāh planned. And Allāh is the best of planners.

٣:٥٥

إِذْ When قَالَ said ٱللَّهُ Allah يَـٰعِيسَىٰٓ O Isa إِنِّى Indeed, I مُتَوَفِّيكَ (will) take you وَرَافِعُكَ and raise you إِلَىَّ to Myself وَمُطَهِّرُكَ and purify you مِنَ from ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve[d] وَجَاعِلُ and I will make ٱلَّذِينَ those who ٱتَّبَعُوكَ follow[ed] you فَوْقَ superior ٱلَّذِينَ (to) those who كَفَرُوٓا۟ disbelieve[d] إِلَىٰ on يَوْمِ (the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۖ (of) [the] Resurrection ثُمَّ Then إِلَىَّ to Me مَرْجِعُكُمْ (is) your return فَأَحْكُمُ and I will judge بَيْنَكُمْ between you فِيمَا about what كُنتُمْ you were فِيهِ [in it] تَخْتَلِفُونَ differing ٥٥ (55)

[Mention] when Allāh said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify [i.e., free] you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allāh alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ.

٣:٥٦

فَأَمَّا Then as for ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve[d] فَأُعَذِّبُهُمْ then I will punish them عَذَابًۭا (with) a punishment شَدِيدًۭا severe فِى in ٱلدُّنْيَا the world وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ and (in) the Hereafter وَمَا And not لَهُم for them مِّن any نَّـٰصِرِينَ helpers ٥٦ (56)

And as for those who disbelieved, I will punish them with a severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers."

٣:٥٧

وَأَمَّا And as for ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] وَعَمِلُوا۟ and did ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ [the] righteous deeds فَيُوَفِّيهِمْ then He will grant them in full أُجُورَهُمْ ۗ their reward وَٱللَّهُ And Allah لَا (does) not يُحِبُّ love ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers ٥٧ (57)

But as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, He will give them in full their rewards, and Allāh does not like the wrongdoers.

٣:٥٨

ذَٰلِكَ That نَتْلُوهُ (is what) We recite [it] عَلَيْكَ to you مِنَ of ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ the Verses وَٱلذِّكْرِ and the Reminder ٱلْحَكِيمِ [the] Wise ٥٨ (58)

This is what We recite to you, [O Muḥammad], of [Our] verses and the precise [and wise] message [i.e., the Qur’ān].

٣:٥٩

إِنَّ Indeed مَثَلَ (the) likeness عِيسَىٰ (of) Isa عِندَ near ٱللَّهِ Allah كَمَثَلِ (is) like (the) likeness ءَادَمَ ۖ (of) Adam خَلَقَهُۥ He created him مِن from تُرَابٍۢ dust ثُمَّ then قَالَ He said لَهُۥ to him كُن Be فَيَكُونُ and he was ٥٩ (59)

Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allāh is like that of Adam. He created him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was.

٣:٦٠

ٱلْحَقُّ The truth مِن (is) from رَّبِّكَ your Lord فَلَا so (do) not تَكُن be مِّنَ among ٱلْمُمْتَرِينَ the doubters ٦٠ (60)

The truth is from your Lord, so do not be among the doubters.

٣:٦١

فَمَنْ Then whoever حَآجَّكَ argues (with) you فِيهِ concerning it مِنۢ from بَعْدِ after مَا what جَآءَكَ came to you مِنَ of ٱلْعِلْمِ the knowledge فَقُلْ then say تَعَالَوْا۟ Come نَدْعُ let us call أَبْنَآءَنَا our sons وَأَبْنَآءَكُمْ and your sons وَنِسَآءَنَا and our women وَنِسَآءَكُمْ and your women وَأَنفُسَنَا and ourselves وَأَنفُسَكُمْ and yourselves ثُمَّ then نَبْتَهِلْ let us pray humbly فَنَجْعَل and [we] invoke لَّعْنَتَ the curse ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah عَلَى on ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ the liars ٦١ (61)

Then whoever argues with you about it after [this] knowledge has come to you - say, "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then supplicate earnestly [together] and invoke the curse of Allāh upon the liars [among us]."

٣:٦٢

إِنَّ Indeed هَـٰذَا this لَهُوَ surely it (is) ٱلْقَصَصُ the narration ٱلْحَقُّ ۚ [the] true وَمَا And (there is) no مِنْ (of) إِلَـٰهٍ god إِلَّا except ٱللَّهُ ۚ Allah وَإِنَّ And indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَهُوَ surely He ٱلْعَزِيزُ (is) the All-Mighty ٱلْحَكِيمُ the All-Wise ٦٢ (62)

Indeed, this is the true narration. And there is no deity except Allāh. And indeed, Allāh is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

٣:٦٣

فَإِن And if تَوَلَّوْا۟ they turn back فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah عَلِيمٌۢ (is) All-Knowing بِٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ of the corrupters ٦٣ (63)

But if they turn away, then indeed - Allāh is Knowing of the corrupters.

٣:٦٤

قُلْ Say يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book تَعَالَوْا۟ Come إِلَىٰ to كَلِمَةٍۢ a word سَوَآءٍۭ equitable بَيْنَنَا between us وَبَيْنَكُمْ and between you أَلَّا that not نَعْبُدَ we worship إِلَّا except ٱللَّهَ Allah وَلَا and not نُشْرِكَ we associate partners بِهِۦ with Him شَيْـًۭٔا anything وَلَا and not يَتَّخِذَ take بَعْضُنَا some of us بَعْضًا (to) others أَرْبَابًۭا (as) lords مِّن from دُونِ besides ٱللَّهِ ۚ Allah فَإِن Then if تَوَلَّوْا۟ they turn away فَقُولُوا۟ then say ٱشْهَدُوا۟ Bear witness بِأَنَّا that we مُسْلِمُونَ (are) Muslims ٦٤ (64)

Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allāh and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allāh."1 But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]."

٣:٦٥

يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book لِمَ Why تُحَآجُّونَ (do) you argue فِىٓ concerning إِبْرَٰهِيمَ Ibrahim وَمَآ while not أُنزِلَتِ was revealed ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةُ the Taurat وَٱلْإِنجِيلُ and the Injeel إِلَّا except مِنۢ from بَعْدِهِۦٓ ۚ after him أَفَلَا Then why don't تَعْقِلُونَ you use your intellect ٦٥ (65)

O People of the Scripture, why do you argue about Abraham while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Then will you not reason?

٣:٦٦

هَـٰٓأَنتُمْ Here you are هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ those who حَـٰجَجْتُمْ argued فِيمَا about what لَكُم [for] you بِهِۦ of it عِلْمٌۭ (have some) knowledge فَلِمَ Then why تُحَآجُّونَ (do) you argue فِيمَا about what لَيْسَ not لَكُم for you بِهِۦ of it عِلْمٌۭ ۚ (any) knowledge وَٱللَّهُ And Allah يَعْلَمُ knows وَأَنتُمْ while you لَا (do) not تَعْلَمُونَ know ٦٦ (66)

Here you are - those who have argued about that of which you have [some] knowledge, but why do you argue about that of which you have no knowledge? And Allāh knows, while you know not.

٣:٦٧

مَا Not كَانَ was إِبْرَٰهِيمُ Ibrahim يَهُودِيًّۭا a Jew وَلَا and not نَصْرَانِيًّۭا a Christian وَلَـٰكِن [and] but كَانَ he was حَنِيفًۭا a true مُّسْلِمًۭا Muslim وَمَا and not كَانَ he was مِنَ from ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ the polytheists ٦٧ (67)

Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allāh]. And he was not of the polytheists.

٣:٦٨

إِنَّ Indeed أَوْلَى the best to claim relationship ٱلنَّاسِ (of) people بِإِبْرَٰهِيمَ with Ibrahim لَلَّذِينَ (are) those who ٱتَّبَعُوهُ follow him وَهَـٰذَا and this ٱلنَّبِىُّ [the] Prophet وَٱلَّذِينَ and those who ءَامَنُوا۟ ۗ believe[d] وَٱللَّهُ And Allah وَلِىُّ (is) a Guardian ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (of) the believers ٦٨ (68)

Indeed, the most worthy of Abraham among the people are those who followed him [in submission to Allāh] and this prophet [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] and those who believe [in his message]. And Allāh is the Ally of the believers.

٣:٦٩

وَدَّت Wished طَّآئِفَةٌۭ a group مِّنْ from أَهْلِ (the) People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book لَوْ if يُضِلُّونَكُمْ they could lead you astray وَمَا and not يُضِلُّونَ they lead astray إِلَّآ except أَنفُسَهُمْ themselves وَمَا and not يَشْعُرُونَ they perceive ٦٩ (69)

A faction of the People of the Scripture wish they could mislead you. But they do not mislead except themselves, and they perceive [it] not.

٣:٧٠

يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book لِمَ Why do تَكْفُرُونَ you deny بِـَٔايَـٰتِ [in] the Signs ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَأَنتُمْ while you تَشْهَدُونَ bear witness ٧٠ (70)

O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allāh while you witness [to their truth]?

٣:٧١

يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book لِمَ Why تَلْبِسُونَ do you mix ٱلْحَقَّ the truth بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ with the falsehood وَتَكْتُمُونَ and conceal ٱلْحَقَّ the truth وَأَنتُمْ while you تَعْلَمُونَ know ٧١ (71)

O People of the Scripture, why do you mix [i.e., confuse] the truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know [it]?

٣:٧٢

وَقَالَت And said طَّآئِفَةٌۭ a group مِّنْ of أَهْلِ (the) People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book ءَامِنُوا۟ Believe بِٱلَّذِىٓ in what أُنزِلَ was revealed عَلَى on ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] وَجْهَ (at the) beginning ٱلنَّهَارِ (of) the day وَٱكْفُرُوٓا۟ and reject ءَاخِرَهُۥ (at) its end لَعَلَّهُمْ perhaps they may يَرْجِعُونَ return ٧٢ (72)

And a faction of the People of the Scripture say [to each other], "Believe in that which was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day and reject it at its end that perhaps they will return [i.e., abandon their religion],

٣:٧٣

وَلَا And (do) not تُؤْمِنُوٓا۟ believe إِلَّا except لِمَن (the one) who تَبِعَ follows دِينَكُمْ your religion قُلْ Say إِنَّ Indeed ٱلْهُدَىٰ the (true) guidance هُدَى (is the) Guidance ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah أَن lest يُؤْتَىٰٓ is given أَحَدٌۭ (to) one مِّثْلَ (the) like مَآ (of) what أُوتِيتُمْ was given to you أَوْ or يُحَآجُّوكُمْ they may argue with you عِندَ near رَبِّكُمْ ۗ your Lord قُلْ Say إِنَّ Indeed ٱلْفَضْلَ the Bounty بِيَدِ (is) in the Hand ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah يُؤْتِيهِ He gives it مَن (to) whom يَشَآءُ ۗ He wills وَٱللَّهُ and Allah وَٰسِعٌ (is) All-Encompassing عَلِيمٌۭ All-Knowing ٧٣ (73)

And do not trust except those who follow your religion." Say, "Indeed, the [true] guidance is the guidance of Allāh. [Do you fear] lest someone be given [knowledge] like you were given or that they would [thereby] argue with you before your Lord?" Say, "Indeed, [all] bounty is in the hand of Allāh - He grants it to whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Wise."

٣:٧٤

يَخْتَصُّ He chooses بِرَحْمَتِهِۦ for His Mercy مَن whom يَشَآءُ ۗ He wills وَٱللَّهُ And Allah ذُو (is) the Possessor ٱلْفَضْلِ (of) Bounty ٱلْعَظِيمِ [the] great ٧٤ (74)

He selects for His mercy whom He wills. And Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.

٣:٧٥

۞ وَمِنْ And from أَهْلِ (the) People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book مَنْ (is he) who إِن if تَأْمَنْهُ you entrust him بِقِنطَارٍۢ with a great amount of wealth يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ he will return it إِلَيْكَ to you وَمِنْهُم And from them مَّنْ (is he) who إِن if تَأْمَنْهُ you entrust him بِدِينَارٍۢ with a single coin لَّا not يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ he will return it إِلَيْكَ to you إِلَّا except مَا that دُمْتَ you keep constantly عَلَيْهِ over him قَآئِمًۭا ۗ standing ذَٰلِكَ That بِأَنَّهُمْ (is) because they قَالُوا۟ said لَيْسَ Not عَلَيْنَا on us فِى concerning ٱلْأُمِّيِّـۧنَ the unlettered people سَبِيلٌۭ any [way] (accountability) وَيَقُولُونَ And they say عَلَى about ٱللَّهِ Allah ٱلْكَذِبَ the lie وَهُمْ while they يَعْلَمُونَ know ٧٥ (75)

And among the People of the Scripture is he who, if you entrust him with a great amount [of wealth], he will return it to you. And among them is he who, if you entrust him with a [single] coin, he will not return it to you unless you are constantly standing over him [demanding it]. That is because they say, "There is no blame upon us concerning the unlearned."1 And they speak untruth about Allāh while they know [it].

٣:٧٦

بَلَىٰ Nay مَنْ whoever أَوْفَىٰ fulfills بِعَهْدِهِۦ his covenant وَٱتَّقَىٰ and fears (Allah) فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يُحِبُّ loves ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ those who fear (Him) ٧٦ (76)

But yes, whoever fulfills his commitment and fears Allāh - then indeed, Allāh loves those who fear Him.

٣:٧٧

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَشْتَرُونَ exchange بِعَهْدِ (the) Covenant ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَأَيْمَـٰنِهِمْ and their oaths ثَمَنًۭا (for) a price قَلِيلًا little أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ those لَا no خَلَـٰقَ share لَهُمْ for them فِى in ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ the Hereafter وَلَا and not يُكَلِّمُهُمُ will speak to them ٱللَّهُ Allah وَلَا and not يَنظُرُ look إِلَيْهِمْ at them يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection وَلَا and not يُزَكِّيهِمْ purify them وَلَهُمْ and for them عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment أَلِيمٌۭ painful ٧٧ (77)

Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allāh and their [own] oaths for a small price will have no share in the Hereafter, and Allāh will not speak to them or look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them; and they will have a painful punishment.

٣:٧٨

وَإِنَّ And indeed مِنْهُمْ among them لَفَرِيقًۭا surely (is) a group يَلْوُۥنَ they distort أَلْسِنَتَهُم their tongues بِٱلْكِتَـٰبِ in (reciting) the Book لِتَحْسَبُوهُ so that you may think it مِنَ (is) from ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ the Book وَمَا and not هُوَ it مِنَ (is) from ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ the Book وَيَقُولُونَ And they say هُوَ It مِنْ (is) عِندِ from ٱللَّهِ Allah وَمَا But not هُوَ it مِنْ (is) عِندِ from ٱللَّهِ Allah وَيَقُولُونَ And they say عَلَى about ٱللَّهِ Allah ٱلْكَذِبَ the lie وَهُمْ while they يَعْلَمُونَ know ٧٨ (78)

And indeed, there is among them a party who alter the Scripture with their tongues so you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And they say, "This is from Allāh," but it is not from Allāh. And they speak untruth about Allāh while they know.

٣:٧٩

مَا Not كَانَ is لِبَشَرٍ for a human أَن that يُؤْتِيَهُ gives him ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book وَٱلْحُكْمَ and the wisdom وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَ and the Prophethood ثُمَّ then يَقُولَ he says لِلنَّاسِ to the people كُونُوا۟ Be عِبَادًۭا worshippers لِّى of me مِن from دُونِ besides ٱللَّهِ Allah وَلَـٰكِن but (would say) كُونُوا۟ Be رَبَّـٰنِيِّـۧنَ worshippers of the Lord بِمَا because كُنتُمْ you have been تُعَلِّمُونَ teaching ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book وَبِمَا and because كُنتُمْ you have been تَدْرُسُونَ studying (it) ٧٩ (79)

It is not for a human [prophet]1 that Allāh should give him the Scripture and authority and prophethood and then he would say to the people, "Be servants to me rather than Allāh," but [instead, he would say], "Be pious scholars of the Lord because of what you have taught of the Scripture and because of what you have studied."

٣:٨٠

وَلَا And not يَأْمُرَكُمْ he will order you أَن that تَتَّخِذُوا۟ you take ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ the Angels وَٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ and the Prophets أَرْبَابًا ۗ (as) lords أَيَأْمُرُكُم Would he order you بِٱلْكُفْرِ to [the] disbelief بَعْدَ after إِذْ [when] أَنتُم you (have become) مُّسْلِمُونَ Muslims ٨٠ (80)

Nor could he order you to take the angels and prophets as lords. Would he order you to disbelief after you had been Muslims?

٣:٨١

وَإِذْ And when أَخَذَ took ٱللَّهُ Allah مِيثَـٰقَ covenant ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ (of) the Prophets لَمَآ Certainly, whatever ءَاتَيْتُكُم I (have) given you مِّن of كِتَـٰبٍۢ (the) Book وَحِكْمَةٍۢ and wisdom ثُمَّ then جَآءَكُمْ comes to you رَسُولٌۭ a Messenger مُّصَدِّقٌۭ confirming لِّمَا that which مَعَكُمْ (is) with you لَتُؤْمِنُنَّ you must believe بِهِۦ in him وَلَتَنصُرُنَّهُۥ ۚ and you must help him قَالَ He said ءَأَقْرَرْتُمْ Do you affirm وَأَخَذْتُمْ and take عَلَىٰ on ذَٰلِكُمْ that (condition) إِصْرِى ۖ My Covenant قَالُوٓا۟ They said أَقْرَرْنَا ۚ We affirm قَالَ He said فَٱشْهَدُوا۟ Then bear witness وَأَنَا۠ and I (am) مَعَكُم with you مِّنَ among ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ the witnesses ٨١ (81)

And [recall, O People of the Scripture], when Allāh took the covenant of the prophets, [saying], "Whatever I give you of the Scripture and wisdom and then there comes to you a messenger confirming what is with you, you [must] believe in him and support him." [Allāh] said, "Have you acknowledged and taken upon that My commitment?"1 They said, "We have acknowledged it." He said, "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses."

٣:٨٢

فَمَن Then whoever تَوَلَّىٰ turns away بَعْدَ after ذَٰلِكَ that فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ then those هُمُ they ٱلْفَـٰسِقُونَ (are) the defiantly disobedient ٨٢ (82)

And whoever turned away after that - they were the defiantly disobedient.

٣:٨٣

أَفَغَيْرَ So is (it) other than دِينِ (the) religion ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah يَبْغُونَ they seek وَلَهُۥٓ While to Him أَسْلَمَ (have) submitted مَن whatever فِى (is) in ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ and the earth طَوْعًۭا willingly وَكَرْهًۭا or unwillingly وَإِلَيْهِ and towards Him يُرْجَعُونَ they will be returned ٨٣ (83)

So is it other than the religion of Allāh they desire, while to Him have submitted [all] those within the heavens and earth, willingly or by compulsion, and to Him they will be returned?

٣:٨٤

قُلْ Say ءَامَنَّا We believed بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَمَآ and what أُنزِلَ (is) revealed عَلَيْنَا on us وَمَآ and what أُنزِلَ was revealed عَلَىٰٓ on إِبْرَٰهِيمَ Ibrahim وَإِسْمَـٰعِيلَ and Ishmael وَإِسْحَـٰقَ and Isaac وَيَعْقُوبَ and Yaqub وَٱلْأَسْبَاطِ and the descendents وَمَآ and what أُوتِىَ was given مُوسَىٰ (to) Musa وَعِيسَىٰ and Isa وَٱلنَّبِيُّونَ and the Prophets مِن from رَّبِّهِمْ their Lord لَا Not نُفَرِّقُ we make distinction بَيْنَ between أَحَدٍۢ any مِّنْهُمْ of them وَنَحْنُ and we لَهُۥ to Him مُسْلِمُونَ (are) submissive ٨٤ (84)

Say, "We have believed in Allāh and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants [al-Asbāṭ], and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to Him."

٣:٨٥

وَمَن And whoever يَبْتَغِ seeks غَيْرَ other than ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمِ [the] Islam دِينًۭا (as) religion فَلَن then never يُقْبَلَ will be accepted مِنْهُ from him وَهُوَ and he فِى in ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ the Hereafter مِنَ (will be) from ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ the losers ٨٥ (85)

And whoever desires other than Islām as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.

٣:٨٦

كَيْفَ How يَهْدِى (shall) guide ٱللَّهُ Allah قَوْمًۭا a people كَفَرُوا۟ (who) disbelieved بَعْدَ after إِيمَـٰنِهِمْ their belief وَشَهِدُوٓا۟ and (had) witnessed أَنَّ that ٱلرَّسُولَ the Messenger حَقٌّۭ (is) true وَجَآءَهُمُ and came to them ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ ۚ the clear proofs وَٱللَّهُ And Allah لَا (does) not يَهْدِى guide ٱلْقَوْمَ the people ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ [the] wrongdoers ٨٦ (86)

How shall Allāh guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and had witnessed that the Messenger is true and clear signs had come to them? And Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.

٣:٨٧

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those جَزَآؤُهُمْ their recompense أَنَّ that عَلَيْهِمْ on them لَعْنَةَ (is the) curse ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ and the Angels وَٱلنَّاسِ and the people أَجْمَعِينَ all together ٨٧ (87)

Those - their recompense will be that upon them is the curse of Allāh and the angels and the people, all together,

٣:٨٨

خَـٰلِدِينَ (They will) abide forever فِيهَا in it لَا Not يُخَفَّفُ will be lightened عَنْهُمُ for them ٱلْعَذَابُ the punishment وَلَا and not هُمْ they يُنظَرُونَ will be reprieved ٨٨ (88)

Abiding eternally therein. The punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved,

٣:٨٩

إِلَّا Except ٱلَّذِينَ those who تَابُوا۟ repent مِنۢ from بَعْدِ after ذَٰلِكَ that وَأَصْلَحُوا۟ and reform[ed] themselves فَإِنَّ Then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah غَفُورٌۭ (is) Oft-Forgiving رَّحِيمٌ Most Merciful ٨٩ (89)

Except for those who repent after that and correct themselves. For indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

٣:٩٠

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved بَعْدَ after إِيمَـٰنِهِمْ their belief ثُمَّ then ٱزْدَادُوا۟ they increased كُفْرًۭا (in) disbelief لَّن never تُقْبَلَ will be accepted تَوْبَتُهُمْ their repentance وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ and those هُمُ they ٱلضَّآلُّونَ (are) those who have gone astray ٩٠ (90)

Indeed, those who disbelieve [i.e., reject the message] after their belief and then increase in disbelief - never will their [claimed] repentance be accepted, and they are the ones astray.

٣:٩١

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve[d] وَمَاتُوا۟ and died وَهُمْ while they كُفَّارٌۭ (are) disbelievers فَلَن then never يُقْبَلَ will be accepted مِنْ from أَحَدِهِم any one of them مِّلْءُ full ٱلْأَرْضِ earth ذَهَبًۭا (of) gold وَلَوِ [and] (even) if ٱفْتَدَىٰ he offered as ransom بِهِۦٓ ۗ it أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those لَهُمْ for them عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment أَلِيمٌۭ painful وَمَا and not لَهُم (will be) for them مِّن any نَّـٰصِرِينَ helpers ٩١ (91)

Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers - never would the [whole] capacity of the earth in gold be accepted from one of them if he would [seek to] ransom himself with it. For those there will be a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers.

٣:٩٢

لَن Never تَنَالُوا۟ will you attain ٱلْبِرَّ [the] righteousness حَتَّىٰ until تُنفِقُوا۟ you spend مِمَّا from what تُحِبُّونَ ۚ you love وَمَا And whatever تُنفِقُوا۟ you spend مِن of شَىْءٍۢ a thing فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah بِهِۦ of it عَلِيمٌۭ (is) All-Knowing ٩٢ (92)

Never will you attain the good [reward]1 until you spend [in the way of Allāh] from that which you love. And whatever you spend - indeed, Allāh is Knowing of it.

٣:٩٣

۞ كُلُّ All ٱلطَّعَامِ [the] food كَانَ was حِلًّۭا lawful لِّبَنِىٓ for (the) Children إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ (of) Israel إِلَّا except مَا what حَرَّمَ made unlawful إِسْرَٰٓءِيلُ Israel عَلَىٰ upon نَفْسِهِۦ himself مِن from قَبْلِ before أَن [that] تُنَزَّلَ (was) revealed ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةُ ۗ the Taurat قُلْ Say فَأْتُوا۟ So bring بِٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ the Taurat فَٱتْلُوهَآ and recite it إِن if كُنتُمْ you are صَـٰدِقِينَ truthful ٩٣ (93)

All food was lawful to the Children of Israel except what Israel [i.e., Jacob] had made unlawful to himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, [O Muḥammad], "So bring the Torah and recite it, if you should be truthful."

٣:٩٤

فَمَنِ Then whoever ٱفْتَرَىٰ fabricates عَلَى about ٱللَّهِ Allah ٱلْكَذِبَ [the] lie مِنۢ from بَعْدِ after ذَٰلِكَ that فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ then those هُمُ they ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ (are) the wrongdoers ٩٤ (94)

And whoever invents about Allāh untruth after that - then those are [truly] the wrongdoers.

٣:٩٥

قُلْ Say صَدَقَ (has) spoken the truth ٱللَّهُ ۗ Allah فَٱتَّبِعُوا۟ then follow مِلَّةَ (the) religion إِبْرَٰهِيمَ (of) Ibrahim حَنِيفًۭا (the) upright وَمَا and not كَانَ he was مِنَ of ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ the polytheists ٩٥ (95)

Say, "Allāh has told the truth. So follow the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth; and he was not of the polytheists."1

٣:٩٦

إِنَّ Indeed أَوَّلَ (the) First بَيْتٍۢ House وُضِعَ set up لِلنَّاسِ for the mankind لَلَّذِى (is) the one which بِبَكَّةَ (is) at Bakkah مُبَارَكًۭا blessed وَهُدًۭى and a guidance لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ for the worlds ٩٦ (96)

Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Bakkah [i.e., Makkah] - blessed and a guidance for the worlds.

٣:٩٧

فِيهِ In it ءَايَـٰتٌۢ (are) signs بَيِّنَـٰتٌۭ clear مَّقَامُ standing place إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۖ (of) Ibrahim وَمَن and whoever دَخَلَهُۥ enters it كَانَ is ءَامِنًۭا ۗ safe وَلِلَّهِ And (due) to Allah عَلَى upon ٱلنَّاسِ the mankind حِجُّ (is) pilgrimage ٱلْبَيْتِ (of) the House مَنِ (for one) who ٱسْتَطَاعَ is able إِلَيْهِ to [it] سَبِيلًۭا ۚ (find) a way وَمَن And whoever كَفَرَ disbelieved فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah غَنِىٌّ (is) free from need عَنِ of ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ the universe ٩٧ (97)

In it are clear signs [such as] the standing place of Abraham. And whoever enters it [i.e., the Ḥaram] shall be safe. And [due] to Allāh from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way. But whoever disbelieves [i.e., refuses] - then indeed, Allāh is free from need of the worlds.

٣:٩٨

قُلْ Say يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book لِمَ Why تَكْفُرُونَ (do) you disbelieve بِـَٔايَـٰتِ in (the) Verses ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَٱللَّهُ while Allah شَهِيدٌ (is) a Witness عَلَىٰ over مَا what تَعْمَلُونَ you do ٩٨ (98)

Say, "O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allāh while Allāh is Witness over what you do?"

٣:٩٩

قُلْ Say يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book لِمَ Why تَصُدُّونَ (do) you hinder عَن from سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah مَنْ (those) who ءَامَنَ believe[d] تَبْغُونَهَا seeking (to make) it عِوَجًۭا (seem) crooked وَأَنتُمْ while you شُهَدَآءُ ۗ (are) witnesses وَمَا And not ٱللَّهُ Allah بِغَـٰفِلٍ (is) unaware عَمَّا of what تَعْمَلُونَ you do ٩٩ (99)

Say, "O People of the Scripture, why do you avert from the way of Allāh those who believe, seeking to make it [seem] deviant, while you are witnesses [to the truth]? And Allāh is not unaware of what you do."

٣:١٠٠

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوٓا۟ believe[d] إِن If تُطِيعُوا۟ you obey فَرِيقًۭا a group مِّنَ from ٱلَّذِينَ those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book يَرُدُّوكُم they will turn you back بَعْدَ after إِيمَـٰنِكُمْ your belief كَـٰفِرِينَ (as) disbelievers ١٠٠ (100)

O you who have believed, if you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back, after your belief, [to being] unbelievers.

٣:١٠١

وَكَيْفَ And how (could) تَكْفُرُونَ you disbelieve وَأَنتُمْ while [you] تُتْلَىٰ is recited عَلَيْكُمْ upon you ءَايَـٰتُ (the) Verses ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَفِيكُمْ and among you رَسُولُهُۥ ۗ (is) His Messenger وَمَن And whoever يَعْتَصِم holds firmly بِٱللَّهِ to Allah فَقَدْ then surely هُدِىَ he is guided إِلَىٰ to صِرَٰطٍۢ a path مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ straight ١٠١ (101)

And how could you disbelieve while to you are being recited the verses of Allāh and among you is His Messenger? And whoever holds firmly to Allāh has [indeed] been guided to a straight path.

٣:١٠٢

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] ٱتَّقُوا۟ Fear ٱللَّهَ Allah حَقَّ (as is His) right تُقَاتِهِۦ (that) He (should) be feared وَلَا and (do) not تَمُوتُنَّ die إِلَّا except وَأَنتُم [while you] مُّسْلِمُونَ (as) Muslims ١٠٢ (102)

O you who have believed, fear Allāh as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].

٣:١٠٣

وَٱعْتَصِمُوا۟ And hold firmly بِحَبْلِ to (the) rope ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah جَمِيعًۭا all together وَلَا and (do) not تَفَرَّقُوا۟ ۚ be divided وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ And remember نِعْمَتَ (the) Favor ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah عَلَيْكُمْ on you إِذْ when كُنتُمْ you were أَعْدَآءًۭ enemies فَأَلَّفَ then He made friendship بَيْنَ between قُلُوبِكُمْ your hearts فَأَصْبَحْتُم then you became بِنِعْمَتِهِۦٓ by His Favor إِخْوَٰنًۭا brothers وَكُنتُمْ And you were عَلَىٰ on شَفَا (the) brink حُفْرَةٍۢ (of) pit مِّنَ of ٱلنَّارِ the Fire فَأَنقَذَكُم then He saved you مِّنْهَا ۗ from it كَذَٰلِكَ Thus يُبَيِّنُ makes clear ٱللَّهُ Allah لَكُمْ for you ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ His Verses لَعَلَّكُمْ so that you may تَهْتَدُونَ (be) guided ١٠٣ (103)

And hold firmly to the rope of Allāh all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allāh upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allāh make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.

٣:١٠٤

وَلْتَكُن And let there be مِّنكُمْ among you أُمَّةٌۭ [a] people يَدْعُونَ inviting إِلَى to ٱلْخَيْرِ the good وَيَأْمُرُونَ [and] enjoining بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ the right وَيَنْهَوْنَ and forbidding عَنِ from ٱلْمُنكَرِ ۚ the wrong وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ and those هُمُ they ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ (are) the successful ones ١٠٤ (104)

And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful.

٣:١٠٥

وَلَا And (do) not تَكُونُوا۟ be كَٱلَّذِينَ like those who تَفَرَّقُوا۟ became divided وَٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ and differed مِنۢ from بَعْدِ after مَا what جَآءَهُمُ came to them ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ ۚ the clear proofs وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ And those لَهُمْ for them عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment عَظِيمٌۭ great ١٠٥ (105)

And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment

٣:١٠٦

يَوْمَ (On the) Day تَبْيَضُّ would become white وُجُوهٌۭ (some) faces وَتَسْوَدُّ and would become black وُجُوهٌۭ ۚ (some) faces فَأَمَّا As for ٱلَّذِينَ those whose ٱسْوَدَّتْ turn black وُجُوهُهُمْ [their] faces أَكَفَرْتُم Did you disbelieve بَعْدَ after إِيمَـٰنِكُمْ your belief فَذُوقُوا۟ Then taste ٱلْعَذَابَ the punishment بِمَا for what كُنتُمْ you used to تَكْفُرُونَ disbelieve ١٠٦ (106)

On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], "Did you disbelieve [i.e., reject faith] after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject."

٣:١٠٧

وَأَمَّا But as for ٱلَّذِينَ those whose ٱبْيَضَّتْ turn white وُجُوهُهُمْ [their] faces فَفِى then (they will be) in رَحْمَةِ (the) Mercy ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah هُمْ they فِيهَا in it خَـٰلِدُونَ (will) abide forever ١٠٧ (107)

But as for those whose faces turn white, [they will be] within the mercy of Allāh. They will abide therein eternally.

٣:١٠٨

تِلْكَ These ءَايَـٰتُ (are the) Verses ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah نَتْلُوهَا We recite them عَلَيْكَ to you بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ in truth وَمَا And not ٱللَّهُ Allah يُرِيدُ wants ظُلْمًۭا injustice لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ to the worlds ١٠٨ (108)

These are the verses of Allāh. We recite them to you, [O Muḥammad], in truth; and Allāh wants no injustice to the worlds [i.e., His creatures].

٣:١٠٩

وَلِلَّهِ And to Allah (belongs) مَا whatever فِى (is) in ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَمَا and whatever فِى (is) in ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ the earth وَإِلَى And to ٱللَّهِ Allah تُرْجَعُ will be returned ٱلْأُمُورُ the matters ١٠٩ (109)

To Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And to Allāh will [all] matters be returned.

٣:١١٠

كُنتُمْ You are خَيْرَ (the) best أُمَّةٍ (of) people أُخْرِجَتْ raised لِلنَّاسِ for the mankind تَأْمُرُونَ enjoining بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ the right وَتَنْهَوْنَ and forbidding عَنِ [from] ٱلْمُنكَرِ the wrong وَتُؤْمِنُونَ and believing بِٱللَّهِ ۗ in Allah وَلَوْ And if ءَامَنَ believed أَهْلُ (the) People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book لَكَانَ surely would have been خَيْرًۭا good لَّهُم ۚ for them مِّنْهُمُ Among them ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ (are) [the] believers وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ but most of them ٱلْفَـٰسِقُونَ (are) defiantly disobedient ١١٠ (110)

You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allāh. If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient.

٣:١١١

لَن Never يَضُرُّوكُمْ will they harm you إِلَّآ except أَذًۭى ۖ a hurt وَإِن And if يُقَـٰتِلُوكُمْ they fight you يُوَلُّوكُمُ they will turn (towards) you ٱلْأَدْبَارَ the backs ثُمَّ then لَا not يُنصَرُونَ they will be helped ١١١ (111)

They will not harm you except for [some] annoyance. And if they fight you, they will show you their backs [i.e., retreat]; then they will not be aided.

٣:١١٢

ضُرِبَتْ Struck عَلَيْهِمُ on them ٱلذِّلَّةُ the humiliation أَيْنَ wherever مَا that ثُقِفُوٓا۟ they are found إِلَّا except بِحَبْلٍۢ with a rope مِّنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah وَحَبْلٍۢ and a rope مِّنَ from ٱلنَّاسِ the people وَبَآءُو And they incurred بِغَضَبٍۢ wrath مِّنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah وَضُرِبَتْ and struck عَلَيْهِمُ on them ٱلْمَسْكَنَةُ ۚ the poverty ذَٰلِكَ That بِأَنَّهُمْ (is) because كَانُوا۟ they used to يَكْفُرُونَ disbelieve بِـَٔايَـٰتِ in (the) Verses ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَيَقْتُلُونَ and they killed ٱلْأَنۢبِيَآءَ the Prophets بِغَيْرِ without حَقٍّۢ ۚ right ذَٰلِكَ That بِمَا (is) because عَصَوا۟ they disobeyed وَّكَانُوا۟ and they used to يَعْتَدُونَ transgress ١١٢ (112)

They have been put under humiliation [by Allāh] wherever they are overtaken, except for a rope [i.e., covenant] from Allāh and a rope [i.e., treaty] from the people [i.e., the Muslims]. And they have drawn upon themselves anger from Allāh and have been put under destitution. That is because they disbelieved in [i.e., rejected] the verses of Allāh and killed the prophets without right. That is because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.

٣:١١٣

۞ لَيْسُوا۟ They are not سَوَآءًۭ ۗ (the) same مِّنْ among أَهْلِ (the) People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book أُمَّةٌۭ (is) a community قَآئِمَةٌۭ standing يَتْلُونَ (and) reciting ءَايَـٰتِ (the) Verses ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah ءَانَآءَ (in the) hours ٱلَّيْلِ (of) the night وَهُمْ and they يَسْجُدُونَ prostrate ١١٣ (113)

They are not [all] the same; among the People of the Scripture is a community standing [in obedience], reciting the verses of Allāh during periods of the night and prostrating [in prayer].

٣:١١٤

يُؤْمِنُونَ They believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَٱلْيَوْمِ and the Day ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ the Last وَيَأْمُرُونَ and they enjoin بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ [with] the right وَيَنْهَوْنَ and forbid عَنِ [from] ٱلْمُنكَرِ the wrong وَيُسَـٰرِعُونَ and they hasten فِى in ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ the good deeds وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ And those مِنَ (are) from ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ the righteous ١١٤ (114)

They believe in Allāh and the Last Day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and hasten to good deeds. And those are among the righteous.

٣:١١٥

وَمَا And whatever يَفْعَلُوا۟ they do مِنْ of خَيْرٍۢ a good فَلَن then never يُكْفَرُوهُ ۗ will they be denied it وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلِيمٌۢ (is) All-Knowing بِٱلْمُتَّقِينَ of the God-fearing ١١٥ (115)

And whatever good they do - never will it be denied them. And Allāh is Knowing of the righteous.

٣:١١٦

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved لَن never تُغْنِىَ will avail عَنْهُمْ [for] them أَمْوَٰلُهُمْ their wealth وَلَآ and not أَوْلَـٰدُهُم their children مِّنَ against ٱللَّهِ Allah شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ anything وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ and those أَصْحَـٰبُ (are the) companions ٱلنَّارِ ۚ (of) the Fire هُمْ they فِيهَا in it خَـٰلِدُونَ (will) abide forever ١١٦ (116)

Indeed, those who disbelieve - never will their wealth or their children avail them against Allāh at all, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

٣:١١٧

مَثَلُ Example مَا (of) what يُنفِقُونَ they spend فِى in هَـٰذِهِ this ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ [the] life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world كَمَثَلِ (is) like (the) example رِيحٍۢ (of) a wind فِيهَا in it صِرٌّ (is) frost أَصَابَتْ it struck حَرْثَ (the) harvest قَوْمٍۢ (of) a people ظَلَمُوٓا۟ who wronged أَنفُسَهُمْ themselves فَأَهْلَكَتْهُ ۚ then destroyed it وَمَا And not ظَلَمَهُمُ (has) wronged them ٱللَّهُ Allah وَلَـٰكِنْ [and] but أَنفُسَهُمْ themselves يَظْلِمُونَ they wronged ١١٧ (117)

The example of what they spend in this worldly life is like that of a wind containing frost which strikes the harvest of a people who have wronged themselves [i.e., sinned] and destroys it. And Allāh has not wronged them, but they wrong themselves.

٣:١١٨

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] لَا (Do) not تَتَّخِذُوا۟ take بِطَانَةًۭ (as) intimates مِّن from دُونِكُمْ other than yourselves لَا not يَأْلُونَكُمْ they will spare you خَبَالًۭا (any) ruin وَدُّوا۟ They wish مَا what عَنِتُّمْ distresses you قَدْ Indeed بَدَتِ (has become) apparent ٱلْبَغْضَآءُ the hatred مِنْ from أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ their mouths وَمَا and what تُخْفِى conceals صُدُورُهُمْ their breasts أَكْبَرُ ۚ (is) greater قَدْ Certainly بَيَّنَّا We made clear لَكُمُ for you ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ ۖ the Verses إِن if كُنتُمْ you were تَعْقِلُونَ (to use) reason ١١٨ (118)

O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves [i.e., believers], for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason.

٣:١١٩

هَـٰٓأَنتُمْ Lo! You are أُو۟لَآءِ those تُحِبُّونَهُمْ you love them وَلَا but not يُحِبُّونَكُمْ they love you وَتُؤْمِنُونَ and you believe بِٱلْكِتَـٰبِ in the Book كُلِّهِۦ all of it وَإِذَا And when لَقُوكُمْ they meet you قَالُوٓا۟ they say ءَامَنَّا We believe وَإِذَا And when خَلَوْا۟ they are alone عَضُّوا۟ they bite عَلَيْكُمُ at you ٱلْأَنَامِلَ the finger tips مِنَ (out) of ٱلْغَيْظِ ۚ [the] rage قُلْ Say مُوتُوا۟ Die بِغَيْظِكُمْ ۗ in your rage إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah عَلِيمٌۢ (is) All-Knowing بِذَاتِ of what ٱلصُّدُورِ (is in) the breasts ١١٩ (119)

Here you are loving them but they are not loving you, while you believe in the Scripture - all of it. And when they meet you, they say, "We believe." But when they are alone, they bite their fingertips at you in rage. Say, "Die in your rage. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing of that within the breasts."

٣:١٢٠

إِن If تَمْسَسْكُمْ touches you حَسَنَةٌۭ a good تَسُؤْهُمْ it grieves them وَإِن and if تُصِبْكُمْ strikes you سَيِّئَةٌۭ misfortune يَفْرَحُوا۟ they rejoice بِهَا ۖ at it وَإِن And if تَصْبِرُوا۟ you are patient وَتَتَّقُوا۟ and fear (Allah) لَا not يَضُرُّكُمْ will harm you كَيْدُهُمْ their plot شَيْـًٔا ۗ (in) anything إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah بِمَا of what يَعْمَلُونَ they do مُحِيطٌۭ (is) All-Encompassing ١٢٠ (120)

If good touches you, it distresses them; but if harm strikes you, they rejoice at it. And if you are patient and fear Allāh, their plot will not harm you at all. Indeed, Allāh is encompassing of what they do.

٣:١٢١

وَإِذْ And when غَدَوْتَ you left early morning مِنْ from أَهْلِكَ your household تُبَوِّئُ to post ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers مَقَـٰعِدَ (to take) positions لِلْقِتَالِ ۗ for the battle وَٱللَّهُ And Allah سَمِيعٌ (is) All-Hearing عَلِيمٌ All-Knowing ١٢١ (121)

And [remember] when you, [O Muḥammad], left your family in the morning to post the believers at their stations for the battle [of Uḥud] - and Allāh is Hearing and Knowing -

٣:١٢٢

إِذْ When هَمَّت inclined طَّآئِفَتَانِ two parties مِنكُمْ among you أَن that تَفْشَلَا they lost heart وَٱللَّهُ but Allah وَلِيُّهُمَا ۗ (was) their protector وَعَلَى And on ٱللَّهِ Allah فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ let put (their) trust ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ the believers ١٢٢ (122)

When two parties among you were about to lose courage, but Allāh was their ally; and upon Allāh the believers should rely.

٣:١٢٣

وَلَقَدْ And certainly نَصَرَكُمُ helped you ٱللَّهُ Allah بِبَدْرٍۢ in Badr وَأَنتُمْ while you (were) أَذِلَّةٌۭ ۖ weak فَٱتَّقُوا۟ So fear ٱللَّهَ Allah لَعَلَّكُمْ so that you may تَشْكُرُونَ (be) grateful ١٢٣ (123)

And already had Allāh given you victory at [the battle of] Badr while you were weak [i.e., few in number]. Then fear Allāh; perhaps you will be grateful.

٣:١٢٤

إِذْ When تَقُولُ you said لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ to the believers أَلَن Is it not يَكْفِيَكُمْ enough for you أَن that يُمِدَّكُمْ reinforces you رَبُّكُم your Lord بِثَلَـٰثَةِ with three ءَالَـٰفٍۢ thousand[s] مِّنَ [of] ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ [the] Angels مُنزَلِينَ [the ones] sent down ١٢٤ (124)

[Remember] when you said to the believers, "Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should reinforce you with three thousand angels sent down?

٣:١٢٥

بَلَىٰٓ ۚ Yes إِن if تَصْبِرُوا۟ you are patient وَتَتَّقُوا۟ and fear (Allah) وَيَأْتُوكُم and they come upon you مِّن [of] فَوْرِهِمْ suddenly هَـٰذَا [this] يُمْدِدْكُمْ will reinforce you رَبُّكُم your Lord بِخَمْسَةِ with five ءَالَـٰفٍۢ thousand[s] مِّنَ [of] ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ [the] Angels مُسَوِّمِينَ [the ones] having marks ١٢٥ (125)

Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allāh and they [i.e., the enemy] come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels having marks [of distinction]."

٣:١٢٦

وَمَا And not جَعَلَهُ made it ٱللَّهُ Allah إِلَّا except بُشْرَىٰ (as) good news لَكُمْ for you وَلِتَطْمَئِنَّ and to reassure قُلُوبُكُم your hearts بِهِۦ ۗ with it وَمَا And (there is) no ٱلنَّصْرُ [the] victory إِلَّا except مِنْ from عِندِ [near] ٱللَّهِ Allah ٱلْعَزِيزِ the All-Mighty ٱلْحَكِيمِ the All-Wise ١٢٦ (126)

And Allāh made it not except as [a sign of] good tidings for you and to reassure your hearts thereby. And victory is not except from Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Wise -

٣:١٢٧

لِيَقْطَعَ That He may cut off طَرَفًۭا a part مِّنَ of ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوٓا۟ disbelieved أَوْ or يَكْبِتَهُمْ suppress them فَيَنقَلِبُوا۟ so (that) they turn back خَآئِبِينَ disappointed ١٢٧ (127)

That He might cut down a section of the disbelievers or suppress them so that they turn back disappointed.

٣:١٢٨

لَيْسَ Not لَكَ for you مِنَ of ٱلْأَمْرِ the decision شَىْءٌ (of) anything أَوْ whether يَتُوبَ He turns عَلَيْهِمْ to them أَوْ or يُعَذِّبَهُمْ punishes them فَإِنَّهُمْ for indeed, they ظَـٰلِمُونَ (are) wrongdoers ١٢٨ (128)

Not for you, [O Muḥammad, but for Allāh], is the decision whether He should [cut them down] or forgive them or punish them, for indeed, they are wrongdoers.

٣:١٢٩

وَلِلَّهِ And to Allah (belongs) مَا what فِى (is) in ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَمَا and what فِى (is) in ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ the earth يَغْفِرُ He forgives لِمَن [for] whom يَشَآءُ He wills وَيُعَذِّبُ and punishes مَن whom يَشَآءُ ۚ He wills وَٱللَّهُ And Allah غَفُورٌۭ (is) Oft-Forgiving رَّحِيمٌۭ Most Merciful ١٢٩ (129)

And 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 Forgiving and Merciful.

٣:١٣٠

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe لَا (Do) not تَأْكُلُوا۟ eat ٱلرِّبَوٰٓا۟ the usury أَضْعَـٰفًۭا doubled مُّضَـٰعَفَةًۭ ۖ multiplied وَٱتَّقُوا۟ And fear ٱللَّهَ Allah لَعَلَّكُمْ so that you may تُفْلِحُونَ (be) successful ١٣٠ (130)

O you who have believed, do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied, but fear Allāh that you may be successful.

٣:١٣١

And fear the Fire, which has been prepared for the disbelievers.

And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden [i.e., Paradise] as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous

٣:١٣٤

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who يُنفِقُونَ spend فِى in ٱلسَّرَّآءِ [the] ease وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ and (in) the hardship وَٱلْكَـٰظِمِينَ and those who restrain ٱلْغَيْظَ the anger وَٱلْعَافِينَ and those who pardon عَنِ [from] ٱلنَّاسِ ۗ the people وَٱللَّهُ and Allah يُحِبُّ loves ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ the good-doers ١٣٤ (134)

Who spend [in the cause of Allāh] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people - and Allāh loves the doers of good;

٣:١٣٥

وَٱلَّذِينَ And those إِذَا when فَعَلُوا۟ they did فَـٰحِشَةً immorality أَوْ or ظَلَمُوٓا۟ wronged أَنفُسَهُمْ themselves ذَكَرُوا۟ they remember ٱللَّهَ Allah فَٱسْتَغْفَرُوا۟ then ask forgiveness لِذُنُوبِهِمْ for their sins وَمَن and who يَغْفِرُ (can) forgive ٱلذُّنُوبَ the sins إِلَّا except ٱللَّهُ Allah وَلَمْ And not يُصِرُّوا۟ they persist عَلَىٰ on مَا what فَعَلُوا۟ they did وَهُمْ while they يَعْلَمُونَ know ١٣٥ (135)

And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves [by transgression], remember Allāh and seek forgiveness for their sins - and who can forgive sins except Allāh? - and [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know.

٣:١٣٦

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those جَزَآؤُهُم their reward مَّغْفِرَةٌۭ (is) forgiveness مِّن from رَّبِّهِمْ their Lord وَجَنَّـٰتٌۭ and Gardens تَجْرِى flows مِن from تَحْتِهَا underneath it ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ the rivers خَـٰلِدِينَ abiding forever فِيهَا ۚ in it وَنِعْمَ And an excellent أَجْرُ reward ٱلْعَـٰمِلِينَ (for) the (righteous) workers ١٣٦ (136)

Those - their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow [in Paradise], wherein they will abide eternally; and excellent is the reward of the [righteous] workers.

٣:١٣٧

قَدْ Verily خَلَتْ passed مِن from قَبْلِكُمْ before you سُنَنٌۭ situations فَسِيرُوا۟ then travel فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth فَٱنظُرُوا۟ and see كَيْفَ how كَانَ was عَـٰقِبَةُ (the) end ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ (of) the deniers ١٣٧ (137)

Similar situations [as yours] have passed on before you, so proceed throughout the earth and observe how was the end of those who denied.

٣:١٣٨

هَـٰذَا This بَيَانٌۭ (is) a declaration لِّلنَّاسِ for the people وَهُدًۭى and guidance وَمَوْعِظَةٌۭ and admonition لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ for the God-fearing ١٣٨ (138)

This [Qur’ān] is a clear statement to [all] the people and a guidance and instruction for those conscious of Allāh.

٣:١٣٩

وَلَا And (do) not تَهِنُوا۟ weaken وَلَا and (do) not تَحْزَنُوا۟ grieve وَأَنتُمُ and you (will be) ٱلْأَعْلَوْنَ [the] superior إِن if كُنتُم you are مُّؤْمِنِينَ believers ١٣٩ (139)

So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers.

٣:١٤٠

إِن If يَمْسَسْكُمْ touched you قَرْحٌۭ a wound فَقَدْ so certainly مَسَّ (has) touched ٱلْقَوْمَ the people قَرْحٌۭ wound مِّثْلُهُۥ ۚ like it وَتِلْكَ And this ٱلْأَيَّامُ [the] days نُدَاوِلُهَا We alternate them بَيْنَ among ٱلنَّاسِ the people وَلِيَعْلَمَ [and] so that makes evident ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] وَيَتَّخِذَ and take مِنكُمْ from you شُهَدَآءَ ۗ martyrs وَٱللَّهُ And Allah لَا (does) not يُحِبُّ love ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers ١٤٠ (140)

If a wound should touch you - there has already touched the [opposing] people a wound similar to it. And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people so that Allāh may make evident those who believe and [may] take to Himself from among you martyrs - and Allāh does not like the wrongdoers -

٣:١٤١

وَلِيُمَحِّصَ And so that may purify ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe وَيَمْحَقَ and destroy ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers ١٤١ (141)

And that Allāh may purify the believers [through trials] and destroy the disbelievers.

٣:١٤٢

أَمْ Or حَسِبْتُمْ do you think أَن that تَدْخُلُوا۟ you will enter ٱلْجَنَّةَ Paradise وَلَمَّا while has not yet يَعْلَمِ made evident ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلَّذِينَ those who جَـٰهَدُوا۟ strove hard مِنكُمْ among you وَيَعْلَمَ and made evident ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ the steadfast ١٤٢ (142)

Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while Allāh has not yet made evident those of you who fight in His cause and made evident those who are steadfast?

٣:١٤٣

وَلَقَدْ And certainly كُنتُمْ you used to تَمَنَّوْنَ wish ٱلْمَوْتَ (for) death مِن from قَبْلِ before أَن [that] تَلْقَوْهُ you met it فَقَدْ then indeed رَأَيْتُمُوهُ you have seen it وَأَنتُمْ while you (were) تَنظُرُونَ looking on ١٤٣ (143)

And you had certainly wished for death [i.e., martyrdom] before you encountered it, and you have [now] seen it [before you] while you were looking on.

٣:١٤٤

وَمَا And not مُحَمَّدٌ (is) Muhammad إِلَّا except رَسُولٌۭ a Messenger قَدْ certainly خَلَتْ passed away مِن from قَبْلِهِ before him ٱلرُّسُلُ ۚ [the] (other) Messengers أَفَإِي۟ن So if مَّاتَ he died أَوْ or قُتِلَ is slain ٱنقَلَبْتُمْ will you turn back عَلَىٰٓ on أَعْقَـٰبِكُمْ ۚ your heels وَمَن And whoever يَنقَلِبْ turns back عَلَىٰ on عَقِبَيْهِ his heels فَلَن then never يَضُرَّ will he harm ٱللَّهَ Allah شَيْـًۭٔا ۗ (in) anything وَسَيَجْزِى And will reward ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ the grateful ones ١٤٤ (144)

Muḥammad is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels [to unbelief]? And he who turns back on his heels will never harm Allāh at all; but Allāh will reward the grateful.

٣:١٤٥

وَمَا And not كَانَ is لِنَفْسٍ for a soul أَن that تَمُوتَ he dies إِلَّا except بِإِذْنِ by (the) permission ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah كِتَـٰبًۭا (at a) decree مُّؤَجَّلًۭا ۗ determined وَمَن And whoever يُرِدْ desires ثَوَابَ reward ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world نُؤْتِهِۦ We will give him مِنْهَا thereof وَمَن and whoever يُرِدْ desires ثَوَابَ reward ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ (of) the Hereafter نُؤْتِهِۦ We will give him مِنْهَا ۚ thereof وَسَنَجْزِى And We will reward ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ the grateful ones ١٤٥ (145)

And it is not [possible] for one to die except by permission of Allāh at a decree determined. And whoever desires the reward of this world - We will give him thereof; and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter - We will give him thereof. And We will reward the grateful.

٣:١٤٦

وَكَأَيِّن And how many مِّن from نَّبِىٍّۢ a Prophet قَـٰتَلَ fought مَعَهُۥ with him رِبِّيُّونَ (were) religious scholars كَثِيرٌۭ many فَمَا But not وَهَنُوا۟ they lost heart لِمَآ for what أَصَابَهُمْ befell them فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَمَا and not ضَعُفُوا۟ they weakened وَمَا and not ٱسْتَكَانُوا۟ ۗ they gave in وَٱللَّهُ And Allah يُحِبُّ loves ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ the patient ones ١٤٦ (146)

And how many a prophet [fought in battle and] with him fought many religious scholars. But they never lost assurance due to what afflicted them in the cause of Allāh, nor did they weaken or submit. And Allāh loves the steadfast.

٣:١٤٧

وَمَا And not كَانَ were قَوْلَهُمْ their words إِلَّآ except أَن that قَالُوا۟ they said رَبَّنَا Our Lord ٱغْفِرْ forgive لَنَا for us ذُنُوبَنَا our sins وَإِسْرَافَنَا and our excesses فِىٓ in أَمْرِنَا our affairs وَثَبِّتْ and make firm أَقْدَامَنَا our feet وَٱنصُرْنَا and give us victory عَلَى over ٱلْقَوْمِ [the people] ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers ١٤٧ (147)

And their words were not but that they said, "Our Lord, forgive us our sins and the excess [committed] in our affairs and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people."

٣:١٤٨

فَـَٔاتَىٰهُمُ So gave them ٱللَّهُ Allah ثَوَابَ reward ٱلدُّنْيَا (in) the world وَحُسْنَ and good ثَوَابِ reward ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۗ (in) the Hereafter وَٱللَّهُ And Allah يُحِبُّ loves ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ the good-doers ١٤٨ (148)

So Allāh gave them the reward of this world and the good reward of the Hereafter. And Allāh loves the doers of good.

٣:١٤٩

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوٓا۟ believe إِن If تُطِيعُوا۟ you obey ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve يَرُدُّوكُمْ they will turn you back عَلَىٰٓ on أَعْقَـٰبِكُمْ your heels فَتَنقَلِبُوا۟ then you will turn back خَـٰسِرِينَ (as) losers ١٤٩ (149)

O you who have believed, if you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back on your heels, and you will [then] become losers.

٣:١٥٠

بَلِ Nay ٱللَّهُ Allah مَوْلَىٰكُمْ ۖ (is) your Protector وَهُوَ and He خَيْرُ (is the) best ٱلنَّـٰصِرِينَ (of) the Helpers ١٥٠ (150)

But Allāh is your protector, and He is the best of helpers.

٣:١٥١

سَنُلْقِى We will cast فِى in قُلُوبِ (the) hearts ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve ٱلرُّعْبَ [the] terror بِمَآ because أَشْرَكُوا۟ they associated partners بِٱللَّهِ with Allah مَا what لَمْ not يُنَزِّلْ He sent down بِهِۦ about it سُلْطَـٰنًۭا ۖ any authority وَمَأْوَىٰهُمُ and their refuge ٱلنَّارُ ۚ (will be) the Fire وَبِئْسَ and wretched مَثْوَى (is the) abode ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ [of] the wrongdoers ١٥١ (151)

We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allāh of which He had not sent down [any] authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.

٣:١٥٢

وَلَقَدْ And certainly صَدَقَكُمُ fulfilled to you ٱللَّهُ Allah وَعْدَهُۥٓ His promise إِذْ when تَحُسُّونَهُم you were killing them بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۖ by His permission حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَا when فَشِلْتُمْ you lost courage وَتَنَـٰزَعْتُمْ and you fell into dispute فِى concerning ٱلْأَمْرِ the order وَعَصَيْتُم and you disobeyed مِّنۢ from بَعْدِ after مَآ [what] أَرَىٰكُم He (had) shown you مَّا what تُحِبُّونَ ۚ you love مِنكُم Among you مَّن (are some) who يُرِيدُ desire ٱلدُّنْيَا the world وَمِنكُم and among you مَّن (are some) who يُرِيدُ desire ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ۚ the Hereafter ثُمَّ Then صَرَفَكُمْ He diverted you عَنْهُمْ from them لِيَبْتَلِيَكُمْ ۖ so that He may test you وَلَقَدْ And surely عَفَا He forgave عَنكُمْ ۗ you وَٱللَّهُ And Allah ذُو (is the) Possessor فَضْلٍ (of) Bounty عَلَى for ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers ١٥٢ (152)

And Allāh had certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them [i.e., the enemy] by His permission until [the time] when you lost courage and fell to disputing about the order [given by the Prophet (ﷺ)] and disobeyed after He had shown you that which you love. Among you are some who desire this world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you back from them [defeated] that He might test you. And He has already forgiven you, and Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the believers.

٣:١٥٣

۞ إِذْ When تُصْعِدُونَ you were running uphill وَلَا and not تَلْوُۥنَ casting a glance عَلَىٰٓ on أَحَدٍۢ anyone وَٱلرَّسُولُ while the Messenger يَدْعُوكُمْ was calling you فِىٓ [in] أُخْرَىٰكُمْ (from) behind you فَأَثَـٰبَكُمْ So (He) repaid you غَمًّۢا (with) distress بِغَمٍّۢ on distress لِّكَيْلَا so that not تَحْزَنُوا۟ you grieve عَلَىٰ over مَا what فَاتَكُمْ escaped you وَلَا and not مَآ what أَصَـٰبَكُمْ ۗ (had) befallen you وَٱللَّهُ And Allah خَبِيرٌۢ (is) All-Aware بِمَا of what تَعْمَلُونَ you do ١٥٣ (153)

[Remember] when you [fled and] climbed [the mountain] without looking aside at anyone while the Messenger was calling you from behind. So Allāh repaid you with distress upon distress so you would not grieve for that which had escaped you [of victory and spoils of war] or [for] that which had befallen you [of injury and death]. And Allāh is [fully] Aware of what you do.

٣:١٥٤

ثُمَّ Then أَنزَلَ He sent down عَلَيْكُم upon you مِّنۢ from بَعْدِ after ٱلْغَمِّ the distress أَمَنَةًۭ security نُّعَاسًۭا slumber يَغْشَىٰ overcoming طَآئِفَةًۭ a group مِّنكُمْ ۖ of you وَطَآئِفَةٌۭ while a group قَدْ certainly أَهَمَّتْهُمْ worried [them] أَنفُسُهُمْ (about) themselves يَظُنُّونَ thinking بِٱللَّهِ about Allah غَيْرَ other than ٱلْحَقِّ the truth ظَنَّ (the) thought ٱلْجَـٰهِلِيَّةِ ۖ (of) [the] ignorance يَقُولُونَ saying هَل Is (there) لَّنَا for us مِنَ from ٱلْأَمْرِ the matter مِن any شَىْءٍۢ ۗ thing قُلْ Say إِنَّ Indeed ٱلْأَمْرَ the matter كُلَّهُۥ all (of) it لِلَّهِ ۗ (is) for Allah يُخْفُونَ They hide فِىٓ in أَنفُسِهِم themselves مَّا what لَا not يُبْدُونَ they reveal لَكَ ۖ to you يَقُولُونَ They say لَوْ If كَانَ was لَنَا for us مِنَ from ٱلْأَمْرِ the matter شَىْءٌۭ anything مَّا not قُتِلْنَا we would have been killed هَـٰهُنَا ۗ here قُل Say لَّوْ If كُنتُمْ you were فِى in بُيُوتِكُمْ your houses لَبَرَزَ surely (would have) come out ٱلَّذِينَ those who كُتِبَ was decreed عَلَيْهِمُ upon them ٱلْقَتْلُ [the] death إِلَىٰ towards مَضَاجِعِهِمْ ۖ their places of death وَلِيَبْتَلِىَ And that might test ٱللَّهُ Allah مَا what فِى (is) in صُدُورِكُمْ your breasts وَلِيُمَحِّصَ and that He may purge مَا what فِى (is) in قُلُوبِكُمْ ۗ your hearts وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلِيمٌۢ (is) All-Aware بِذَاتِ of what ٱلصُّدُورِ (is in) the breasts ١٥٤ (154)

Then after distress, He sent down upon you security [in the form of] drowsiness, overcoming a faction of you, while another faction worried about themselves, thinking of Allāh other than the truth - the thought of ignorance, saying, "Is there anything for us [to have done] in this matter?" Say, "Indeed, the matter belongs completely to Allāh." They conceal within themselves what they will not reveal to you. They say, "If there was anything we could have done in the matter, we [i.e., some of us] would not have been killed right here." Say, "Even if you had been inside your houses, those decreed to be killed would have come out to their death beds." [It was] so that Allāh might test what is in your breasts and purify what is in your hearts. And Allāh is Knowing of that within the breasts.

٣:١٥٥

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who تَوَلَّوْا۟ turned back مِنكُمْ among you يَوْمَ (on the) day ٱلْتَقَى met ٱلْجَمْعَانِ the two hosts إِنَّمَا only ٱسْتَزَلَّهُمُ made them slip ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ the Shaitaan بِبَعْضِ for some مَا (of) what كَسَبُوا۟ ۖ they (had) earned وَلَقَدْ And surely عَفَا forgave ٱللَّهُ Allah عَنْهُمْ ۗ [on] them إِنَّ indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah غَفُورٌ (is) Oft-Forgiving حَلِيمٌۭ All-Forbearing ١٥٥ (155)

Indeed, those of you who turned back on the day the two armies met [at Uḥud] - it was Satan who caused them to slip because of some [blame] they had earned. But Allāh has already forgiven them. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Forbearing.

٣:١٥٦

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] لَا (Do) not تَكُونُوا۟ be كَٱلَّذِينَ like those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved وَقَالُوا۟ and they said لِإِخْوَٰنِهِمْ about their brothers إِذَا when ضَرَبُوا۟ they traveled فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth أَوْ or كَانُوا۟ they were غُزًّۭى fighting لَّوْ If كَانُوا۟ they had been عِندَنَا with us مَا not مَاتُوا۟ they (would have) died وَمَا and not قُتِلُوا۟ they (would have) been killed لِيَجْعَلَ So makes ٱللَّهُ Allah ذَٰلِكَ that حَسْرَةًۭ a regret فِى in قُلُوبِهِمْ ۗ their hearts وَٱللَّهُ And Allah يُحْىِۦ gives life وَيُمِيتُ ۗ and causes death وَٱللَّهُ and Allah بِمَا of what تَعْمَلُونَ you do بَصِيرٌۭ (is) All-Seer ١٥٦ (156)

O you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allāh makes that [misconception] a regret within their hearts. And it is Allāh who gives life and causes death, and Allāh is Seeing of what you do.

٣:١٥٧

وَلَئِن And if قُتِلْتُمْ you are killed فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah أَوْ or مُتُّمْ die[d] لَمَغْفِرَةٌۭ certainly forgiveness مِّنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah وَرَحْمَةٌ and Mercy خَيْرٌۭ (are) better مِّمَّا than what يَجْمَعُونَ they accumulate ١٥٧ (157)

And if you are killed in the cause of Allāh or die - then forgiveness from Allāh and mercy are better than whatever they accumulate [in this world].

٣:١٥٨

وَلَئِن And if مُّتُّمْ you die أَوْ or قُتِلْتُمْ are killed لَإِلَى surely to ٱللَّهِ Allah تُحْشَرُونَ you will be gathered ١٥٨ (158)

And whether you die or are killed, unto Allāh you will be gathered.

٣:١٥٩

فَبِمَا So because رَحْمَةٍۢ (of) Mercy مِّنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah لِنتَ you dealt gently لَهُمْ ۖ with them وَلَوْ And if كُنتَ you had been فَظًّا rude غَلِيظَ (and) harsh ٱلْقَلْبِ (at) [the] heart لَٱنفَضُّوا۟ surely they (would have) dispersed مِنْ from حَوْلِكَ ۖ around you فَٱعْفُ Then pardon عَنْهُمْ [from] them وَٱسْتَغْفِرْ and ask forgiveness لَهُمْ for them وَشَاوِرْهُمْ and consult them فِى in ٱلْأَمْرِ ۖ the matter فَإِذَا Then when عَزَمْتَ you have decided فَتَوَكَّلْ then put trust عَلَى on ٱللَّهِ ۚ Allah إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يُحِبُّ loves ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ the ones who put trust (in Him) ١٥٩ (159)

So by mercy from Allāh, [O Muḥammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allāh. Indeed, Allāh loves those who rely [upon Him].

٣:١٦٠

إِن If يَنصُرْكُمُ helps you ٱللَّهُ Allah فَلَا then not غَالِبَ (can) overcome لَكُمْ ۖ [for] you وَإِن and if يَخْذُلْكُمْ He forsakes you فَمَن then who ذَا (is) ٱلَّذِى the one who يَنصُرُكُم can help you مِّنۢ from بَعْدِهِۦ ۗ after Him وَعَلَى And on ٱللَّهِ Allah فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ let put (their) trust ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ the believers ١٦٠ (160)

If Allāh should aid you, no one can overcome you; but if He should forsake you, who is there that can aid you after Him? And upon Allāh let the believers rely.

٣:١٦١

وَمَا And not كَانَ is لِنَبِىٍّ for a Prophet أَن that يَغُلَّ ۚ he defrauds وَمَن And whoever يَغْلُلْ defrauds يَأْتِ will bring بِمَا what غَلَّ he had defrauded يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۚ (of) Resurrection ثُمَّ Then تُوَفَّىٰ is repaid in full كُلُّ every نَفْسٍۢ soul مَّا what كَسَبَتْ it earned وَهُمْ and they لَا (will) not يُظْلَمُونَ be wronged ١٦١ (161)

It is not [attributable] to any prophet that he would act unfaithfully [in regard to war booty]. And whoever betrays, [taking unlawfully], will come with what he took on the Day of Resurrection. Then will every soul be [fully] compensated for what it earned, and they will not be wronged.

٣:١٦٢

أَفَمَنِ So is (the one) who ٱتَّبَعَ pursues رِضْوَٰنَ (the) pleasure ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah كَمَنۢ like (the one) who بَآءَ draws بِسَخَطٍۢ on (himself) wrath مِّنَ of ٱللَّهِ Allah وَمَأْوَىٰهُ and his abode جَهَنَّمُ ۚ (is) hell وَبِئْسَ and wretched ٱلْمَصِيرُ (is) the destination ١٦٢ (162)

So is one who pursues the pleasure of Allāh like one who brings upon himself the anger of Allāh and whose refuge is Hell? And wretched is the destination.

٣:١٦٣

هُمْ They دَرَجَـٰتٌ (are in varying) degrees عِندَ near ٱللَّهِ ۗ Allah وَٱللَّهُ and Allah بَصِيرٌۢ (is) All-Seer بِمَا of what يَعْمَلُونَ they do ١٦٣ (163)

They are [varying] degrees in the sight of Allāh, and Allāh is Seeing of whatever they do.

٣:١٦٤

لَقَدْ Certainly مَنَّ bestowed a Favor ٱللَّهُ Allah عَلَى upon ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers إِذْ as بَعَثَ He raised فِيهِمْ among them رَسُولًۭا a Messenger مِّنْ from أَنفُسِهِمْ themselves يَتْلُوا۟ reciting عَلَيْهِمْ to them ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ His Verses وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ and purifying them وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ and teaching them ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ and the wisdom وَإِن although كَانُوا۟ they were مِن from قَبْلُ before (that) لَفِى certainly in ضَلَـٰلٍۢ (the) error مُّبِينٍ clear ١٦٤ (164)

Certainly did Allāh confer [great] favor upon the believers when He sent among them a Messenger from themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and wisdom, although they had been before in manifest error.

٣:١٦٥

أَوَلَمَّآ Or when أَصَـٰبَتْكُم struck you مُّصِيبَةٌۭ disaster قَدْ surely أَصَبْتُم you (had) struck (them) مِّثْلَيْهَا twice of it قُلْتُمْ you said أَنَّىٰ From where هَـٰذَا ۖ (is) this قُلْ Say هُوَ It مِنْ (is) عِندِ from أَنفُسِكُمْ ۗ yourselves إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah عَلَىٰ (is) on كُلِّ every شَىْءٍۢ thing قَدِيرٌۭ All-Powerful ١٦٥ (165)

Why [is it that] when a [single] disaster struck you [on the day of Uḥud], although you had struck [the enemy in the battle of Badr] with one twice as great, you said, "From where is this?" Say, "It is from yourselves [i.e., due to your sin]." Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.

٣:١٦٦

وَمَآ And what أَصَـٰبَكُمْ struck you يَوْمَ (on the) day ٱلْتَقَى (when) met ٱلْجَمْعَانِ the two hosts فَبِإِذْنِ (was) by (the) permission ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَلِيَعْلَمَ and that He (might) make evident ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers ١٦٦ (166)

And what struck you on the day the two armies met [at Uḥud] was by permission of Allāh that He might make evident the [true] believers

٣:١٦٧

وَلِيَعْلَمَ And that He (might) make evident ٱلَّذِينَ those who نَافَقُوا۟ ۚ (are) hypocrites وَقِيلَ And it was said لَهُمْ to them تَعَالَوْا۟ Come قَـٰتِلُوا۟ fight فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah أَوِ or ٱدْفَعُوا۟ ۖ defend قَالُوا۟ They said لَوْ If نَعْلَمُ we knew قِتَالًۭا fighting لَّٱتَّبَعْنَـٰكُمْ ۗ certainly we (would have) followed you هُمْ They لِلْكُفْرِ to disbelief يَوْمَئِذٍ that day أَقْرَبُ (were) nearer مِنْهُمْ than [them] لِلْإِيمَـٰنِ ۚ to the faith يَقُولُونَ saying بِأَفْوَٰهِهِم with their mouths مَّا what لَيْسَ was not فِى in قُلُوبِهِمْ ۗ their hearts وَٱللَّهُ And Allah أَعْلَمُ (is) Most Knowing بِمَا of what يَكْتُمُونَ they conceal ١٦٧ (167)

And that He might make evident those who are hypocrites. For it was said to them, "Come, fight in the way of Allāh or [at least] defend." They said, "If we had known [there would be] battle, we would have followed you." They were nearer to disbelief that day than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allāh is most knowing of what they conceal -

٣:١٦٨

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who قَالُوا۟ said لِإِخْوَٰنِهِمْ about their brothers وَقَعَدُوا۟ while they sat لَوْ If أَطَاعُونَا they (had) obeyed us مَا not قُتِلُوا۟ ۗ they would have been killed قُلْ Say فَٱدْرَءُوا۟ Then avert عَنْ from أَنفُسِكُمُ yourselves ٱلْمَوْتَ [the] death إِن if كُنتُمْ you are صَـٰدِقِينَ truthful ١٦٨ (168)

Those who said about their brothers while sitting [at home], "If they had obeyed us, they would not have been killed." Say, "Then prevent death from yourselves, if you should be truthful."

٣:١٦٩

وَلَا And (do) not تَحْسَبَنَّ think ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who قُتِلُوا۟ are killed فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah أَمْوَٰتًۢا ۚ (as) dead بَلْ Nay أَحْيَآءٌ They are alive عِندَ near رَبِّهِمْ their Lord يُرْزَقُونَ they are given provision ١٦٩ (169)

And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allāh as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision,

٣:١٧٠

فَرِحِينَ Rejoicing بِمَآ in what ءَاتَىٰهُمُ bestowed them ٱللَّهُ Allah مِن of فَضْلِهِۦ His Bounty وَيَسْتَبْشِرُونَ and they receive good tidings بِٱلَّذِينَ about those who لَمْ (have) not يَلْحَقُوا۟ yet joined بِهِم [with] them مِّنْ [from] خَلْفِهِمْ (but are) left behind أَلَّا that (there will be) no خَوْفٌ fear عَلَيْهِمْ on them وَلَا and not هُمْ they يَحْزَنُونَ will grieve ١٧٠ (170)

Rejoicing in what Allāh has bestowed upon them of His bounty, and they receive good tidings about those [to be martyred] after them who have not yet joined them - that there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.

٣:١٧١

۞ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ They receive good tidings بِنِعْمَةٍۢ of Favor مِّنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah وَفَضْلٍۢ and Bounty وَأَنَّ and that ٱللَّهَ Allah لَا (does) not يُضِيعُ let go waste أَجْرَ (the) reward ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (of) the believers ١٧١ (171)

They receive good tidings of favor from Allāh and bounty and [of the fact] that Allāh does not allow the reward of believers to be lost -

٣:١٧٢

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who ٱسْتَجَابُوا۟ responded لِلَّهِ to Allah وَٱلرَّسُولِ and the Messenger مِنۢ from بَعْدِ after مَآ what أَصَابَهُمُ befell them ٱلْقَرْحُ ۚ the injury لِلَّذِينَ for those who أَحْسَنُوا۟ did good مِنْهُمْ among them وَٱتَّقَوْا۟ and feared Allah أَجْرٌ (is) a reward عَظِيمٌ great ١٧٢ (172)

Those [believers] who responded to Allāh and the Messenger after injury had struck them. For those who did good among them and feared Allāh is a great reward -

٣:١٧٣

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who قَالَ said لَهُمُ to them ٱلنَّاسُ [the people] إِنَّ Indeed ٱلنَّاسَ the people قَدْ (have) certainly جَمَعُوا۟ gathered لَكُمْ against you فَٱخْشَوْهُمْ so fear them فَزَادَهُمْ But it increased them إِيمَـٰنًۭا (in) faith وَقَالُوا۟ and they said حَسْبُنَا Sufficient for us ٱللَّهُ (is) Allah وَنِعْمَ and (He is the) best ٱلْوَكِيلُ [the] Disposer of affairs ١٧٣ (173)

Those to whom people [i.e., hypocrites] said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allāh, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs."1

٣:١٧٤

فَٱنقَلَبُوا۟ So they returned بِنِعْمَةٍۢ with (the) Favor مِّنَ of ٱللَّهِ Allah وَفَضْلٍۢ and Bounty لَّمْ not يَمْسَسْهُمْ touched them سُوٓءٌۭ any harm وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ And they followed رِضْوَٰنَ (the) pleasure ٱللَّهِ ۗ (of) Allah وَٱللَّهُ and Allah ذُو (is) Possessor فَضْلٍ (of) Bounty عَظِيمٍ great ١٧٤ (174)

So they returned with favor from Allāh and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allāh, and Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.

٣:١٧٥

إِنَّمَا (It is) only ذَٰلِكُمُ that ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ the Shaitaan يُخَوِّفُ frightens (you) أَوْلِيَآءَهُۥ (of) his allies فَلَا So (do) not تَخَافُوهُمْ fear them وَخَافُونِ but fear Me إِن if كُنتُم you are مُّؤْمِنِينَ believers ١٧٥ (175)

That is only Satan who frightens [you] of his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers.

٣:١٧٦

وَلَا And (let) not يَحْزُنكَ grieve you ٱلَّذِينَ those who يُسَـٰرِعُونَ hasten فِى in(to) ٱلْكُفْرِ ۚ [the] disbelief إِنَّهُمْ Indeed, they لَن never يَضُرُّوا۟ will harm ٱللَّهَ Allah شَيْـًۭٔا ۗ (in) anything يُرِيدُ intends ٱللَّهُ Allah أَلَّا that not يَجْعَلَ He will set لَهُمْ for them حَظًّۭا any portion فِى in ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۖ the Hereafter وَلَهُمْ And for them عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment عَظِيمٌ great ١٧٦ (176)

And do not be grieved, [O Muḥammad], by those who hasten into disbelief. Indeed, they will never harm Allāh at all. Allāh intends that He should give them no share in the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment.

٣:١٧٧

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who ٱشْتَرَوُا۟ (have) purchased ٱلْكُفْرَ [the] disbelief بِٱلْإِيمَـٰنِ with the faith لَن never يَضُرُّوا۟ will they harm ٱللَّهَ Allah شَيْـًۭٔا (in) anything وَلَهُمْ and for them عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment أَلِيمٌۭ painful ١٧٧ (177)

Indeed, those who purchase disbelief [in exchange] for faith - never will they harm Allāh at all, and for them is a painful punishment.

٣:١٧٨

وَلَا And (let) not يَحْسَبَنَّ think ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوٓا۟ disbelieved أَنَّمَا that نُمْلِى We give respite لَهُمْ to them خَيْرٌۭ (is) good لِّأَنفُسِهِمْ ۚ for themselves إِنَّمَا Only نُمْلِى We give respite لَهُمْ to them لِيَزْدَادُوٓا۟ so that they may increase إِثْمًۭا ۚ (in) sins وَلَهُمْ and for them عَذَابٌۭ (is) a punishment مُّهِينٌۭ humiliating ١٧٨ (178)

And let not those who disbelieve ever think that [because] We extend their time [of enjoyment] it is better for them. We only extend it for them so that they may increase in sin, and for them is a humiliating punishment.

٣:١٧٩

مَّا Not كَانَ is ٱللَّهُ Allah لِيَذَرَ to leave ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers عَلَىٰ on مَآ what أَنتُمْ you (are) عَلَيْهِ in [it] حَتَّىٰ until يَمِيزَ He separates ٱلْخَبِيثَ the evil مِنَ from ٱلطَّيِّبِ ۗ the good وَمَا And not كَانَ is ٱللَّهُ Allah لِيُطْلِعَكُمْ to inform you عَلَى about ٱلْغَيْبِ the unseen وَلَـٰكِنَّ [and] but ٱللَّهَ Allah يَجْتَبِى chooses مِن from رُّسُلِهِۦ His Messengers مَن whom يَشَآءُ ۖ He wills فَـَٔامِنُوا۟ so believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَرُسُلِهِۦ ۚ and His Messengers وَإِن and if تُؤْمِنُوا۟ you believe وَتَتَّقُوا۟ and fear (Allah) فَلَكُمْ then for you أَجْرٌ (is a) reward عَظِيمٌۭ great ١٧٩ (179)

Allāh would not leave the believers in that [state] you are in [presently] until He separates the evil from the good. Nor would Allāh reveal to you the unseen. But [instead], Allāh chooses of His messengers whom He wills, so believe in Allāh and His messengers. And if you believe and fear Him, then for you is a great reward.

٣:١٨٠

وَلَا And (let) not يَحْسَبَنَّ think ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَبْخَلُونَ withhold بِمَآ of what ءَاتَىٰهُمُ (has) given them ٱللَّهُ Allah مِن of فَضْلِهِۦ His Bounty هُوَ (that) it خَيْرًۭا (is) good لَّهُم ۖ for them بَلْ Nay هُوَ it شَرٌّۭ (is) bad لَّهُمْ ۖ for them سَيُطَوَّقُونَ Their necks will be encircled مَا (with) what بَخِلُوا۟ they withheld بِهِۦ [with it] يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۗ (of) [the] Resurrection وَلِلَّهِ And for Allah مِيرَٰثُ (is the) heritage ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ and the earth وَٱللَّهُ And Allah بِمَا with what تَعْمَلُونَ you do خَبِيرٌۭ (is) All-Aware ١٨٠ (180)

And let not those who [greedily] withhold what Allāh has given them of His bounty ever think that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them. Their necks will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection. And to Allāh belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allāh, of what you do, is [fully] Aware.

٣:١٨١

لَّقَدْ Certainly سَمِعَ heard ٱللَّهُ Allah قَوْلَ (the) saying ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who قَالُوٓا۟ said إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah فَقِيرٌۭ (is) poor وَنَحْنُ while we أَغْنِيَآءُ ۘ (are) rich سَنَكْتُبُ We will record مَا what قَالُوا۟ they said وَقَتْلَهُمُ and their killing ٱلْأَنۢبِيَآءَ the Prophets بِغَيْرِ without حَقٍّۢ (any) right وَنَقُولُ and We will say ذُوقُوا۟ Taste عَذَابَ (the) punishment ٱلْحَرِيقِ (of) the Burning Fire ١٨١ (181)

Allāh has certainly heard the statement of those [Jews] who said, "Indeed, Allāh is poor, while we are rich." We will record what they said and their killing of the prophets without right and will say, "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire.

٣:١٨٢

ذَٰلِكَ That بِمَا (is) because قَدَّمَتْ (of what) sent forth أَيْدِيكُمْ your hands وَأَنَّ and that ٱللَّهَ Allah لَيْسَ is not بِظَلَّامٍۢ unjust لِّلْعَبِيدِ to (His) slaves ١٨٢ (182)

That is for what your hands have put forth and because Allāh is not ever unjust to [His] servants."

٣:١٨٣

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who قَالُوٓا۟ said إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah عَهِدَ (has) taken promise إِلَيْنَآ from us أَلَّا that not نُؤْمِنَ we (should) believe لِرَسُولٍ in a Messenger حَتَّىٰ until يَأْتِيَنَا he brings to us بِقُرْبَانٍۢ a sacrifice تَأْكُلُهُ consumes it ٱلنَّارُ ۗ the fire قُلْ Say قَدْ Surely جَآءَكُمْ came to you رُسُلٌۭ Messengers مِّن from قَبْلِى before me بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ with the clear Signs وَبِٱلَّذِى and with what قُلْتُمْ you speak فَلِمَ So why قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ you killed them إِن if كُنتُمْ you are صَـٰدِقِينَ truthful ١٨٣ (183)

[They are] those who said, "Indeed, Allāh has taken our promise not to believe any messenger until he brings us an offering which fire [from heaven] will consume." Say, "There have already come to you messengers before me with clear proofs and [even] that of which you speak. So why did you kill them, if you should be truthful?"

٣:١٨٤

فَإِن Then if كَذَّبُوكَ they reject you فَقَدْ then certainly كُذِّبَ were rejected رُسُلٌۭ Messengers مِّن from قَبْلِكَ before you جَآءُو (who) came بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ with the clear Signs وَٱلزُّبُرِ and the Scriptures وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ and the Book ٱلْمُنِيرِ [the] Enlightening ١٨٤ (184)

Then if they deny you, [O Muḥammad] - so were messengers denied before you, who brought clear proofs and written ordinances and the enlightening Scripture.

٣:١٨٥

كُلُّ Every نَفْسٍۢ soul ذَآئِقَةُ (will) taste ٱلْمَوْتِ ۗ [the] death وَإِنَّمَا and only تُوَفَّوْنَ you will be paid in full أُجُورَكُمْ your reward يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۖ (of) [the] Resurrection فَمَن Then whoever زُحْزِحَ is drawn away عَنِ from ٱلنَّارِ the Fire وَأُدْخِلَ and admitted ٱلْجَنَّةَ (to) Paradise فَقَدْ then surely فَازَ ۗ he is successful وَمَا And not ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ (is) the life ٱلدُّنْيَآ (of) the world إِلَّا except مَتَـٰعُ enjoyment ٱلْغُرُورِ (of) delusion ١٨٥ (185)

Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion.

٣:١٨٦

۞ لَتُبْلَوُنَّ You will certainly be tested فِىٓ in أَمْوَٰلِكُمْ your wealth وَأَنفُسِكُمْ and yourselves وَلَتَسْمَعُنَّ And you will certainly hear مِنَ from ٱلَّذِينَ those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book مِن from قَبْلِكُمْ before you وَمِنَ and from ٱلَّذِينَ those who أَشْرَكُوٓا۟ associate partners with Allah أَذًۭى hurtful things كَثِيرًۭا ۚ many وَإِن and if تَصْبِرُوا۟ you are patient وَتَتَّقُوا۟ and fear (Allah) فَإِنَّ then indeed ذَٰلِكَ that مِنْ (is) of عَزْمِ the matters ٱلْأُمُورِ (of) determination ١٨٦ (186)

You will surely be tested in your possessions and in yourselves. And you will surely hear from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with Allāh much abuse. But if you are patient and fear Allāh - indeed, that is of the matters [worthy] of resolve.

٣:١٨٧

وَإِذْ And when أَخَذَ took ٱللَّهُ Allah مِيثَـٰقَ a Covenant ٱلَّذِينَ (from) those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُۥ You certainly make it clear لِلنَّاسِ to the mankind وَلَا and (do) not تَكْتُمُونَهُۥ conceal it فَنَبَذُوهُ Then they threw it وَرَآءَ behind ظُهُورِهِمْ their backs وَٱشْتَرَوْا۟ and they exchanged بِهِۦ [with] it ثَمَنًۭا (for) a price قَلِيلًۭا ۖ little فَبِئْسَ And wretched مَا (is) what يَشْتَرُونَ they purchase ١٨٧ (187)

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Allāh took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, [saying], "You must make it clear [i.e., explain it] to the people and not conceal it." But they threw it away behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price. And wretched is that which they purchased.

٣:١٨٨

لَا (Do) not تَحْسَبَنَّ think ٱلَّذِينَ (that) those who يَفْرَحُونَ rejoice بِمَآ in what أَتَوا۟ (they have) brought وَّيُحِبُّونَ and they love أَن that يُحْمَدُوا۟ they be praised بِمَا for what لَمْ not يَفْعَلُوا۟ they do فَلَا so (do) not تَحْسَبَنَّهُم think (that) they بِمَفَازَةٍۢ (will) escape مِّنَ from ٱلْعَذَابِ ۖ the punishment وَلَهُمْ and for them عَذَابٌ (is a) punishment أَلِيمٌۭ painful ١٨٨ (188)

And never think that those who rejoice in what they have perpetrated and like to be praised for what they did not do - never think them [to be] in safety from the punishment, and for them is a painful punishment.

٣:١٨٩

وَلِلَّهِ And for Allah مُلْكُ (is the) dominion ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ and the earth وَٱللَّهُ and Allah عَلَىٰ (is) on كُلِّ every شَىْءٍۢ thing قَدِيرٌ All-Powerful ١٨٩ (189)

And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Allāh is over all things competent.

٣:١٩٠

إِنَّ Indeed فِى in خَلْقِ (the) creation ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ and the earth وَٱخْتِلَـٰفِ and (in the) alternation ٱلَّيْلِ (of) the night وَٱلنَّهَارِ and the day لَـَٔايَـٰتٍۢ (are) surely Signs لِّأُو۟لِى for men ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ (of) understanding ١٩٠ (190)

Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding -

٣:١٩١

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who يَذْكُرُونَ remember ٱللَّهَ Allah قِيَـٰمًۭا standing وَقُعُودًۭا and sitting وَعَلَىٰ and on جُنُوبِهِمْ their sides وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ and they reflect فِى on خَلْقِ (the) creation ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ and the earth رَبَّنَا Our Lord مَا not خَلَقْتَ You have created هَـٰذَا this بَـٰطِلًۭا (in) vain سُبْحَـٰنَكَ Glory be to You فَقِنَا so save us عَذَابَ (from the) punishment ٱلنَّارِ (of) the Fire ١٩١ (191)

Who remember Allāh while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.

٣:١٩٢

رَبَّنَآ Our Lord إِنَّكَ indeed [You] مَن whom تُدْخِلِ You admit ٱلنَّارَ (to) the Fire فَقَدْ then surely أَخْزَيْتَهُۥ ۖ You (have) disgraced him وَمَا and not لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ for the wrongdoers مِنْ (are) any أَنصَارٍۢ helpers ١٩٢ (192)

Our Lord, indeed whoever You admit to the Fire - You have disgraced him, and for the wrongdoers there are no helpers.

٣:١٩٣

رَّبَّنَآ Our Lord إِنَّنَا indeed we سَمِعْنَا [we] heard مُنَادِيًۭا a caller يُنَادِى calling لِلْإِيمَـٰنِ to the faith أَنْ that ءَامِنُوا۟ Believe بِرَبِّكُمْ in your Lord فَـَٔامَنَّا ۚ so we have believed رَبَّنَا Our Lord فَٱغْفِرْ so forgive لَنَا for us ذُنُوبَنَا our sins وَكَفِّرْ and remove عَنَّا from us سَيِّـَٔاتِنَا our evil deeds وَتَوَفَّنَا and cause us to die مَعَ with ٱلْأَبْرَارِ the righteous ١٩٣ (193)

Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] calling to faith, [saying], 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, so forgive us our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to die among the righteous.

٣:١٩٤

رَبَّنَا Our Lord وَءَاتِنَا grant us مَا what وَعَدتَّنَا You promised us عَلَىٰ through رُسُلِكَ Your Messengers وَلَا and (do) not تُخْزِنَا disgrace us يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۗ (of) [the] Resurrection إِنَّكَ Indeed, You لَا (do) not تُخْلِفُ break ٱلْمِيعَادَ the promise ١٩٤ (194)

Our Lord, and grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You do not fail in [Your] promise."

٣:١٩٥

فَٱسْتَجَابَ Then responded لَهُمْ to them رَبُّهُمْ their Lord أَنِّى Indeed, I لَآ (will) not أُضِيعُ (let go) waste عَمَلَ deeds عَـٰمِلٍۢ (of the) doer مِّنكُم among you مِّن [from] ذَكَرٍ (whether) male أَوْ or أُنثَىٰ ۖ female بَعْضُكُم each of you مِّنۢ from بَعْضٍۢ ۖ (the) other فَٱلَّذِينَ So those who هَاجَرُوا۟ emigrated وَأُخْرِجُوا۟ and were driven out مِن from دِيَـٰرِهِمْ their homes وَأُوذُوا۟ and were harmed فِى in سَبِيلِى My way وَقَـٰتَلُوا۟ and fought وَقُتِلُوا۟ and were killed لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ surely I (will) remove عَنْهُمْ from them سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ their evil deeds وَلَأُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ and surely I will admit them جَنَّـٰتٍۢ (to) Gardens تَجْرِى flowing مِن from تَحْتِهَا underneath them ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ the rivers ثَوَابًۭا a reward مِّنْ from عِندِ [near] ٱللَّهِ ۗ Allah وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عِندَهُۥ with Him حُسْنُ (is the) best ٱلثَّوَابِ reward ١٩٥ (195)

And their Lord responded to them, "Never will I allow to be lost the work of [any] worker among you, whether male or female; you are of one another. So those who emigrated or were evicted from their homes or were harmed in My cause or fought or were killed - I will surely remove from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allāh, and Allāh has with Him the best reward."

٣:١٩٦

لَا (Let) not يَغُرَّنَّكَ deceive you تَقَلُّبُ (the) movement ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved فِى in ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ the land ١٩٦ (196)

Be not deceived by the [uninhibited] movement of the disbelievers throughout the land.

٣:١٩٧

مَتَـٰعٌۭ An enjoyment قَلِيلٌۭ little ثُمَّ then مَأْوَىٰهُمْ their abode جَهَنَّمُ ۚ (is) hell وَبِئْسَ [and] a wretched ٱلْمِهَادُ [the] resting place ١٩٧ (197)

[It is but] a small enjoyment; then their [final] refuge is Hell, and wretched is the resting place.

٣:١٩٨

لَـٰكِنِ But ٱلَّذِينَ those who ٱتَّقَوْا۟ fear رَبَّهُمْ their Lord لَهُمْ for them جَنَّـٰتٌۭ (will be) Gardens تَجْرِى flows مِن from تَحْتِهَا underneath them ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ the rivers خَـٰلِدِينَ will abide forever فِيهَا in it نُزُلًۭا a hospitality مِّنْ from عِندِ [near] ٱللَّهِ ۗ Allah وَمَا And what عِندَ (is) with ٱللَّهِ Allah خَيْرٌۭ (is) best لِّلْأَبْرَارِ for the righteous ١٩٨ (198)

But those who feared their Lord will have gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein, as accommodation from Allāh. And that which is with Allāh is best for the righteous.

٣:١٩٩

وَإِنَّ And indeed مِنْ among أَهْلِ (the) People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book لَمَن (are those) who يُؤْمِنُ believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَمَآ and what أُنزِلَ was revealed إِلَيْكُمْ to you وَمَآ and what أُنزِلَ was revealed إِلَيْهِمْ to them خَـٰشِعِينَ humbly submissive لِلَّهِ to Allah لَا Not يَشْتَرُونَ (do) they exchange بِـَٔايَـٰتِ [with] (the) Verses ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah ثَمَنًۭا (for) a price قَلِيلًا ۗ little أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those لَهُمْ for them أَجْرُهُمْ their reward عِندَ (is) with رَبِّهِمْ ۗ their Lord إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah سَرِيعُ (is) swift ٱلْحِسَابِ (in taking) the account ١٩٩ (199)

And indeed, among the People of the Scripture are those who believe in Allāh and what was revealed to you and what was revealed to them, [being] humbly submissive to Allāh. They do not exchange the verses of Allāh for a small price. Those will have their reward with their Lord. Indeed, Allāh is swift in account.

٣:٢٠٠

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] ٱصْبِرُوا۟ Be steadfast وَصَابِرُوا۟ and [be] patient وَرَابِطُوا۟ and [be] constant وَٱتَّقُوا۟ and fear ٱللَّهَ Allah لَعَلَّكُمْ so that you may تُفْلِحُونَ (be) successful ٢٠٠ (200)

O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allāh that you may be successful.
