The “Three Months”, which started in the month of Rajab, is a precious time zone for the Islamic world. During this period, you can find some of the remarkable verses from the Holy Quran in the blog series “A Lot Changes When You Realize”, which is inspired by the “100BinDost” project.
“Can the One Who creates be equal to those who do not? Will you not then be mindful?” (An-Nahl, 17), and by endeavoring to read and understand the verses, we aim to complete the book by the end of Ramadan. This series, which will be categorized according to the titles of the surahs, may have the quality of raising awareness for many of us. In this article, you can find some of the other verses of Surah Ali’ Imran, the third surah of the Holy Quran with 200 verses. Enjoy your reading!
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
Ali’ Imran ✨
2. Allah! There is no god worthy of worship except Him, the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining.
5-6. Surely nothing on earth or in the heavens is hidden from Allah. 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.
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.”
10-11. Indeed, neither the wealth nor children of the disbelievers will be of any benefit to them against Allah, and they will be the fuel for the fire. Their fate will be like that of the people of Pharaoh and those before them, they all rejected Our signs, so Allah seized them for their sins. And Allah is severe in punishment.
13-14. Indeed, there was a sign for you in the two armies that met in battle one fighting for the cause of Allah and the other in denial. The believers saw their enemy twice their number. But Allah supports with His victory whoever He wills. Surely in this is a lesson for people of insight. The enjoyment of worldly desires women, children, treasures of gold and silver, fine horses, cattle, and fertile land has been made appealing to people. These are the pleasures of this worldly life, but with Allah is the finest destination.
15-16-17. Say, O Prophet, “Shall I inform you of what is better than all of this? Those mindful ˹of Allah˺ will have Gardens with their Lord under which rivers flow, to stay there forever, and pure spouses, along with Allah’s pleasure.” And Allah is All-Seeing of ˹His˺ servants, who pray, “Our Lord! We have believed, so forgive our sins and protect us from the torment of the Fire.”
25. But how horrible will it be when We gather them together on the Day about which there is no doubt when every soul will be paid in full for what it has done, and none will be wronged!
26. Say, O Prophet, “O Allah! Lord over all authorities! You give authority to whoever You please and remove it from who You please; You honor whoever You please and disgrace who You please all good is in Your Hands. Surely You alone are Most Capable of everything.
You Honour Whoever You Please!
27. You cause the night to pass into the day and the day into the night. You bring forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living. And You provide for whoever You will without limit.”
30. Watch for the Day when every soul will be presented with whatever good it has done. And it will wish that its misdeeds were far off. And Allah warns you about Himself. And Allah is Ever Gracious to His servants.
42. And remember when the angels said, “O Mary! Surely Allah has selected you, purified you, and chosen you over all women of the world.
45-46. Remember when the angels proclaimed, “O Mary! Allah gives you good news of a Word1 from Him, his name will be the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary; honored in this world and the Hereafter, and he will be one of those nearest to Allah. And he will speak to people in his infancy and adulthood and will be one of the righteous.”
47. Mary wondered, “My Lord! How can I have a child when no man has ever touched me?” An angel replied, “So will it be. Allah creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, ‘Be!’ And it is!
59-60. Indeed, the example of Jesus in the sight of Allah is like that of Adam. He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be!” And he was! This is the truth from your Lord, so do not be one of those who doubt.
66. Here you are! You disputed about what you have little knowledge of, but why do you now argue about what you have no knowledge of? Allah knows and you do not know.
71. O People of the Book! Why do you mix the truth with falsehood and hide the truth knowingly?
92. You will never achieve righteousness until you donate some of what you cherish. And whatever you give is certainly well known to Allah.
96-97. Surely the first House of worship established for humanity is the one at Bakkah, a blessed sanctuary and a guide for all people. In it are clear signs and the standing place of Abraham. Whoever enters it should be safe. Pilgrimage to this House is an obligation by Allah upon whoever is able among the people. And whoever disbelieves, then surely Allah is not in need of any of His creation.
99-100. Say, “O People of the Book! Why do you turn the believers away from the Way of Allah, striving to make it appear crooked, while you are witnesses to its truth? And Allah is never unaware of what you do.” O believers! If you were to yield to a group of those who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back from belief to disbelief.
- Those who are against Islam, or those who cannot say so openly, have always followed this path, trying to portray it as a religion that is backward from modernity, or as an imitation of Judaism or Christianity.
When The Days Come!
106-107. On that Day some faces will be bright while others gloomy. To the gloomy-faced, it will be said, “Did you disbelieve after having believed? So taste the punishment for your disbelief.” As for the bright-faced, they will be in Allah’s mercy, where they will remain forever.
117. The good they do in this worldly life is like the harvest of an evil people struck by a bitter wind, destroying it ˹completely˺. Allah never wronged them, but they wronged themselves.
119. Here you are! You love them but they do not love you, and you believe in all Scriptures. When they meet you they say, “We believe.” But when alone, they bite their fingertips in rage. Say, O Prophet, “May you die of your rage!” Surely Allah knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.
129-130. To Allah, alone belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. He forgives whoever He wills, and punishes whoever He wills. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. O believers! Do not consume interest, multiplying it many times over. And be mindful of Allah, so you may prosper.
134-136. They are those who donate in prosperity and adversity, control their anger, and pardon others. And Allah loves the good-doers. They are those who, upon committing an evil deed or wronging themselves, remember Allah and seek forgiveness and do not knowingly persist in sin—and who forgives sins except Allah? Their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and Gardens under which rivers flow, staying there forever. How excellent is the reward for those who work righteousness?
139. Do not falter or grieve, for you will have the upper hand if you are true believers.
140-142. If you have suffered injuries at Uḥud, they suffered similarly at Badr. We alternate these days of victory and defeat among people so that Allah may reveal the true believers, and choose martyrs from among you, and Allah does not like the wrongdoers, and distinguish the true believers and destroy the disbelievers. Do you think you will enter Paradise without Allah proving which of you truly struggled for His cause and patiently endured?
145. No soul can ever die without Allah’s Will at the destined time. Those who desire worldly gain, We will let them have it, and those who desire heavenly reward, We will grant it to them. And We will reward those who are grateful.
158-159. Whether you die or are martyred all of you will be gathered before Allah. It is out of Allah’s mercy that you O Prophet have been lenient with them. Had you been cruel or hard-hearted, they would have certainly abandoned you. So pardon them, ask Allah’s forgiveness for them, and consult with them in conducting matters. Once you make a decision, put your trust in Allah. Surely Allah loves those who trust in Him.
161. It is not appropriate for a prophet to illegally withhold spoils of war. And whoever does so, it will be held against them on the Day of Judgment. Then every soul will be paid in full for what it has done, and none will be wronged.
169-170. Never think of those martyred in the cause of Allah as dead. In fact, they are alive with their Lord, well provided for rejoicing in Allah’s bounties and being delighted for those yet to join them. There will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.
179. Allah would not leave the believers in the condition you were in until He distinguished the good from the evil among you . Nor would Allah ˹directly˺ reveal to you the unseen, but He chooses whoever He wills as a messenger. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And if you are faithful and mindful of Allah, you will receive a great reward.
180-181. And do not let those who greedily withhold Allah’s bounties think it is good for them in fact, it is bad for them! They will be leashed by their necks on the Day of Judgment with whatever wealth they used to withhold. And Allah is the sole inheritor of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do. Indeed, Allah has heard those among the Jews who said, “Allah is poor; we are rich!” We have certainly recorded their slurs and their killing of prophets unjustly. Then We will say, “Taste the torment of burning!
185.186- Every soul will taste death. And you will only receive your full reward on the Day of Judgment. Whoever is spared from the Fire and is admitted into Paradise will indeed triumph, whereas the life of this world is no more than the delusion of enjoyment. You, believers, will surely be tested in your wealth and yourselves, and you will certainly hear many hurtful words from those who were given the Scripture before you and from the polytheists. But if you are patient and mindful of Allah surely this is a resolve to aspire to.
188. Do not let those who rejoice in their misdeeds and love take credit for what they have not done and think they will escape the torment. They will suffer a painful punishment.
190. Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the day and night, there are signs for people of reason.
195. So their Lord responded to them: “I will never deny any of you male or female the reward of your deeds. Both are equal in reward. Those who migrated or were expelled from their homes, and were persecuted for My sake and fought, and some were martyred I will certainly forgive their sins and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, as a reward from Allah. And with Allah is the finest reward!”
196-197. Do not be deceived by the prosperity of the disbelievers throughout the land. It is only a brief enjoyment. Then Hell will be their home what an evil place to rest!
199. Indeed, there are some among the People of the Book who truly believe in Allah and what has been revealed to you believers and what was revealed to them. They humble themselves before Allah never trading Allah’s revelations for a fleeting gain. Their reward is with their Lord. Surely Allah is swift in reckoning.
200. O believers! Patiently endure, persevere, stand on guard, and be mindful of Allah, so you may be successful.
