Sura 3 The Family of Imran (Al-Imran)
In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
[3:1] A. L. M.
[3:2] God, there is no god except Him, the Living, the Eternal.
[3:3] He brought down upon you the Book with truth confirming what came before it. And He brought down the Torah and the Injeel
[3:4] previously providing guidance for the people. And He brought down the Criterion. Those who disbelieve in God's revelations shall have a severe punishment. God is Dignified, Possessor of retribution.
[3:5] Indeed, nothing is hidden from God, in the earth or in heaven.
[3:6] He is the One who designs you in the wombs as He wills. There is no other god except Him, the Dignified, the Wise.
[3:7] He is the One who brought down upon you the Book containing clear-cut verses that constitute the foundation of the Book, and others that allow multiple meanings. As for those who harbor deviation in their hearts, they pursue the multiple-meaning verses, seeking to cause discord and seeking to interpret it, but none know its true interpretation except God. And those well-founded in knowledge say, "We believe in it; all of it is from our Lord." But none will take heed except those who possess intelligence.
[3:8] "Our Lord, do not deviate our hearts after You have guided us, and grant us a mercy from You. You are the Grantor.
[3:9] Our Lord, You will gather the people on a Day about which there is no doubt." God never breaks a promise.
[3:10] Those who disbelieve, neither their wealth nor their children will avail them in any way against God. Those are fuel for the Fire.
[3:11] Like the constant behavior of Pharaoh's people and those before them, they denied Our signs, and so God seized them for their sins, and God is severe in punishment.
[3:12] Say to those who disbelieve, "You will be defeated, then gathered unto Hell; what a miserable resting place!"
[3:13] There was a sign for you in two groups that met: one group fighting in the cause of God and another of disbelievers. They saw with their own eyes that they were twice as many. God supports with His victory whom He wills. Indeed, in that is a lesson for those who possess vision.
[3:14] The love of worldly desires has been adorned for the people, such as women, children, hoarded piles of gold and silver, branded horses, livestock and tilled land. These are the enjoyments of the worldly life, while at God lies the best homecoming.
[3:15] Say, "Shall I inform you of better than that? For those who have been reverent, they shall have at their Lord Gardens beneath which rivers flow. Therein, they shall permanently remain. They shall have purified spouses and consent from God." God is Seer of the servants
[3:16] who say, "Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us our sins, and guard us against the punishment of the Fire."
[3:17] They are the patient ones, the truthful, the obedient, the ones who give, and the ones who seek forgiveness before dawn.
