Surah Introduction

This Medinian sûrah takes its name from the Family of 'Imrân mentioned in verse 33. Like the previous sûrah, it reiterates the fact that Allah is the source of divine revelation and affirms the belief in Allah as the only Lord and Islam as His only accepted religion. The story of the birth of Mary, John the Baptist, and Jesus is mentioned, along with a challenge to the Christian perception of Jesus ( ﷺ ) . The sûrah also touches on early battles against the Meccan pagans with emphasis on the lessons to be drawn from the Muslims' defeat at the Battle of Uḥud, which took place in 3 A.H./625 C.E. The virtue of being mindful of Allah is highlighted at the end of this sûrah and the beginning of the next one.


Translation of Verse 1-9
1. In the Name of Allah-the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

1. Alif-Lãm-Mĩm.

2. Allah! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him-the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining.

3. He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel

4. previously, as a guide for people, and ˹also˺ revealed the Standard ˹to distinguish between right and wrong˺. 120 Surely those who reject Allah's revelations will suffer a severe torment. For Allah is Almighty, capable of punishment.

5. Surely nothing on earth or in the heavens is hidden from Allah.

6. He is the One Who shapes you in the wombs of your mothers as He wills. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him-the Almighty, All-Wise.

7. He is the One Who has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book, of which some verses are precise-they are the foundation of the Book -while others are elusive. 121 Those with deviant hearts follow the elusive verses seeking ˹to spread˺ doubt through their ˹false˺ interpretations-but none grasps their ˹full˺ meaning except Allah. As for those well-grounded in knowledge, they say, "We believe in this ˹Quran˺-it is all from our Lord." But none will be mindful ˹of this˺ except people of reason.

8. ˹They say,˺ "Our Lord! Do not let our hearts deviate after you have guided us. Grant us Your mercy. You are indeed the Giver ˹of all bounties˺.

9. Our Lord! You will certainly gather all humanity for the ˹promised˺ Day-about which there is no doubt. Surely Allah does not break His promise."


Commentary

120. The Standard ( Al-Furqân ) is one of the names of the Quran.

121. The precise verses are easy to understand and deal mostly with matters of belief and practice, such as the belief in one God ( Sûrah 112), forbidden foods ( see 5:3), and the commandments in 6:151-152 and 17:23-39. As for the elusive verses, their full meaning is known only to Allah, such as the meaning of letter combinations at the beginning of some sûrahs , such as Alif-Lãm- Mĩm ( see Stylistic Features), and how Allah settles Himself on the Throne.
