that (evil) which he has earned. "Our Lord!
Punish us not if we forget or fall into error,
our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that
which You did lay on those before us (Jews
and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a
burden greater than we have strength to bear.
Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have
mercy on us. You are our Maulâ (Patron,
Supporter and Protector, etc.) and give us
victory over the disbelieving people.[1]">

وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَابِهِ، وَاعْفُ عَنَّا

عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَفِرِين
Sûrat Âl-'Imrân
(The Family of Imran) III
In the Name of Allâh
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
1. Alif-Lâm-Mîm. [These letters are one of
the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but
Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings].
2. Allâh! Lâ ilahâ illa Huwa (none has the
right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-
Qayyuum (the Ever Living, the One Who
sustains and protects all that exists).
3. It is He Who has sent down the Book
صلى الله عليه the Qur'an) to you (Muhammad)
,) with truth, confirming what came before
it. And He sent down the Taurat (Torah) and
the Injeel (Gospel),
4. Aforetime, as a guidance to mankind.
And He sent down the criterion [of judgement
between right and wrong (this Qur'an)].
Truly, those who disbelieve in the Ayat
(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) of Allâh, for them there is a
severe torment; and Allâh is All-Mighty, All-
Able of Retribution.
5. Truly, nothing is hidden from Allâh, in
the earth or in the heaven.

صلى الله عليه وسلم Allah's Messenger:رضى الله عنه V.2:286) Narrated Abu Mas'ud Al-Badri)
said, "Whosoever recited the last two Verses of Surat Al-Baqarah at night, that will be
sufficient for him." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.5, Hadîth No.345).

6. He it is Who shapes you in the wombs
as He wills. Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the
right to be worshipped but He), the All-
Mighty, the All-Wise.
7. It is He Who has sent down to you
(Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) the Book (this
Qur'ân). In it are Verses that are entirely
clear, they are the foundations of the Book
[and those are the Verses of Al-Ahkâm
(commandments), Al-Fara'id (obligatory
duties) and Al-Hudud (legal laws for the
punishment of thieves, adulterers)]; and
others not entirely clear. So as for those in
whose hearts there is a deviation (from the
truth) they follow that which is not entirely
clear thereof, seeking Al-Fitnah (polytheism
and trials), and seeking for its hidden
meanings, but none knows its hidden
meanings save Allâh. And those who are
firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We
believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear
Verses) are from our Lord." And none
receive admonition except
men
of
understanding. (Tafsir At-Tabarî).
8. (They say): "Our Lord! Let not our
hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have
guided us, and grant us mercy from You.
Truly, You are the Bestower."
9. "Our Lord! Verily, it is You Who will
gather mankind together on the Day about
which there is no doubt. Verily, Allâh never
breaks His Promise".
10. Verily, those who disbelieve, neither
their properties nor their offspring will avail
them whatsoever against Allâh; and it is they
who will be fuel of the Fire.
11. Like the behaviour of the people of
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and those before them; they
belied Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses,
lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). So Allâh
seized (destroyed) them for their sins. And
Allâh is Severe in punishment.
12. Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) to
those who disbelieve: "You will be defeated

سورة آل عمران ٣ الجزء ٣
إِلَى جَهَنٌَّ وَيِفْسَ الْمِهَادُ
قَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ ءَايَةٌ فِى فِئَتَيْنِ اَلْتَّقَتَّا فِئَةٌ تُقَتِلُ
فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَأُخْرَىْ كَافِرَةٌ يَرَوْنَهُم
مِثْلَيْهِمْ رَأْىَ الْعَيْنِ وَاللّهُ يُؤَيِّدُ بِنَصْرِهِ،
مَن يَشَاءُ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّأُوْلِى
الْأَبْصَرِ
زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوَتِ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ
وَالْبَنِينَ وَالْقَتَطِيرِ الْمُقَنَطَرَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ
وَاُلْفِضَّةِ وَالْخَيْلِ الْمُسَوَّمَةِ وَالْأَنْعَامِ
وَالْحَرْثِّ ذَلِكَ مَتَعُ الْحَيَوَةِ الدُّنْيًّا وَللَّهُ
عِندَهُوحُسْنُ الْعَشَابِ
﴿ قُلْ أَوُنَبِئُكُم بِخَيْرٍ مِّنِ ذَلِكُمْ لِلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْاْ
عِندَرَبِّهِمْ جَنٌَّ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَرُ
خَلِدِينَ فِيهَا وَأَزْوَجٌ مُطَهَرَةٌ وَرِضْوَنٌ
مِنَ اللهِ وَاللهُ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ
١٥
الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآَ إِنَّنَاَءَ امَنَّا فَاغْفِرْلَنَا
ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
الصَّبِينَ وَالصََّدِقِينَ وَاُلْقَانِتِينَ
وَالْمُنْفِقِينَ وَالْمُسْتَغْفِرِينَ بِالْأَسْحَارِ
and gathered together to Hell, and worst
indeed is that place of rest."
13. There has already been a sign for you
(O Jews) in the two armies that met (in
combat i.e. the battle of Badr). One was
fighting in the Cause of Allâh, and as for the
other, (they) were disbelievers. They (the
believers) saw them (the disbelievers) with
their own eyes twice their number (although
they were thrice their number). And Allâh
supports with His Victory whom He wills.
Verily, in this is a lesson for those who
understand. (See Verse 8:44). (Tafsir At-
Tabarî)
14. Beautified for men is the love of
things they covet; women, children, much of
gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful
horses, cattle and well-tilled land. This is the
pleasure of the present world's life; but Allâh
has the excellent return (Paradise with
flowing rivers) with Him.
15. Say: "Shall I inform you of things far
better than those? For Al-Muttaqun (the pious
-
See V.2:2) there are Gardens (Paradise)
with their Lord, underneath which rivers flow.
Therein (is their) eternal (home) and Azwâjun
Mutahharatun"
(purified mates or wives).
And Allâh will be pleased with them. And
Allâh is All-Seer of the (His) slaves".
16. Those who say: "Our Lord! We have
indeed believed, so forgive us our sins and
save us from the punishment of the Fire."
17. (They are) those who are patient,
those who are true (in Faith, words, and
deeds), and obedient with sincere devotion in
worship to Allâh. Those who spend [give the
Zakât and alms in the Way of Allâh] and
those who pray and beg Allah's Pardon in the
last hours of the night.

(V.3:15) i.e. they will have no menses, urine, or stool, See Tafsir Ibn Kathir and also see
footnote of (V.29:64).

النَّبِيْنَ بِغَيْرِحَقٍّ وَيَقْتُلُونَ الَّذِينَ
يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْقِسْطِ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَبَشِّرُهُم
بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

وَاُلْآَخِرَةِ وَمَالَهُمْ مِّنْ نَّصِرِين

18. Allâh bears witness that Lâ ilâha illa
Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped
but He), and the angels, and those having
knowledge (also give this witness); (He
always) maintains His creation in Justice. Lâ
ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be
worshipped but He), the All-Mighty, the All-
Wise.
19. Truly, the religion with Allâh is Islam.
Those who were given the Scripture (Jews
and Christians) did not differ except, out of
mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to
them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayat
(proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations,
etc.) of Allâh, then surely, Allâh is Swift in
calling to account.
20. So
if
they
dispute with you
(Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) say: "I have
submitted myself to Allâh (in Islâm), and (so
have) those who follow me." And say to those
who were given the Scripture (Jews and
Christians) and to those who are illiterates
(Arab pagans): "Do you (also) submit
yourselves (to Allâh in Islâm)?" If they do,
they are rightly guided; but if they turn away,
your duty is only to convey the Message; and
Allâh is All-Seer of (His ) slaves111.
21. Verily! Those who disbelieve in the
Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons,
signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh and kill the
Prophets without right, and kill those men
who order just dealings, ... then announce to
them a painful torment.
22. They are those whose works will be
lost in this world and in the Hereafter, and
they will have no helpers.
23. Have you not seen those who have
been given a portion of the Scripture? They
are being invited to the Book of Allâh to
settle their dispute, then a party of them turn
away, and they are averse.

(V.3:20): See footnote of (V.3:85).

24. This is because they say: "The Fire
shall not touch us but for a number of days."
And that which they used to invent regarding
their religion has deceived them.
25. How (will it be) when We gather them
together on the Day about which there is no
doubt (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). And
each person will be paid in full what he has
earned? And they will not be dealt with
unjustly.
0": (صلى الله عليه وسلم Say (O Muhammad .26
Allâh! Possessor of the kingdom, You give
the kingdom to whom You will, and You take
the kingdom from whom You will, and You
endue with honour whom You will, and You
humiliate whom You will. In Your Hand[1] is
the good. Verily, You are Able to do all
things.
27. You make the night to enter into the
day, and You make the day to enter into the
night (i.e. increase and decrease in the hours
of the night and the day during winter and
summer), You bring the living out of the
dead, and You bring the dead out of the
living. And You give wealth and sustenance
to whom You will, without limit (measure or
account).
28. Let not the believers take the
disbelievers as Auliyâ (supporters, helpers)
instead of the believers, and whoever does
that will never be helped by Allâh in any way,
except if you indeed fear a danger from them.
And Allâh warns you against Himself (His
punishment) 21, and to Allâh is the final
return.

Narrated 'Abdullah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "There is none who has a
greater sense of Ghairah* than Allâh, and for that reason He has forbidden Al-Fawâhish,
(the shameful deeds and sins, e.g. illegal sexual intercourse). And there is none who likes
to be praised more than Allâh does." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, Hadîth No. 500).

:(صلى الله عليه وسلم Say (O Muhammad .29
"Whether you hide what is in your breasts or
reveal it, Allah knows it, and He knows what
is in the heavens and what is in the earth. And
Allâh is Able to do all things."
30. On the Day when every person will be
confronted with all the good he has done, and
all the evil he has done, he will wish that
there were a great distance between him and
his evil. And Allâh warns you against Himself
(His punishment) and Allâh is full of kindness
to (His) slaves.
31. Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to
mankind): "If you (really) love Allâh then
follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism,
follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah), Allâh will
love you and forgive you your sins. And
Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
:(صلى الله عليه وسلم Say (O Muhammad .32
"Obey Allâh and the Messenger (Muhammad
But if they turn away, then ".(صلى الله عليه وسلم
Allâh does not like the disbelievers111.
33. Allâh chose Adam, Nuh (Noah), the
family of Ibrâhîm (Abraham) and the family
of 'Imrân above the 'Âlamîn (mankind and
jinn) (of their times).
34. Offspring, one of the other, and Allâh
is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
35. (Remember) when the wife of 'Imrân
said: "O my Lord! I have vowed to You what
(the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated
for Your services (free from all worldly work;
to serve Your Place of worship), so accept
this from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer,
the All-Knowing."
36. Then when she gave birth to her [child
Maryam (Mary)], she said: "O my Lord! I
* Ghairah: a feeling of great fury and anger when one's honour and prestige are injured or
challenged.

(V.3:32) See the footnote of (V. 3:85).

have given birth to a female child," - and
Allâh knew better what she brought forth, -
"And the male is not like the female, and I
have named her Maryam 1 (Mary), and I seek
refuge with You (Allâh) for her and for her
offspring from Shaitân (Satan), the outcast."
37. So her Lord (Allâh) accepted her with
goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a
good manner and put her under the care of
Zakariyâ (Zachariya). Every time he entered
Al-Mihrab12 to (visit) her , he found her
supplied with sustenance. He said: "O
Maryam (Mary)! From where have you got
this?" She said, "This is from Allâh." Verily,
Allâh provides sustenance to whom He wills,
without limit.
38. At that time Zakariyâ (Zachariya)
invoked his Lord, saying: "O my Lord! Grant
me from You, a good offspring. You are
indeed the All-Hearer of invocation."
39. Then the angels called him, while he
was standing in prayer in Al-Mihrab (a
praying place or a private room), (saying):
"Allâh gives you glad tidings of Yahya
(John), confirming (believing in) the word
from Allâh [i.e. the creation of 'Îsâ (Jesus)
the Word from Allah ("Be!" - and ,عليه السلام
he was!)], noble, keeping away from sexual
relations with women, a Prophet, from among
the righteous."
40. He said: "O my Lord! How can I have
a son when I am very old, and my wife is
barren?" (Allâh) said: "Thus Allâh does what
He wills."
41. He said: "O my Lord! Make a sign for
me." (Allâh) said: "Your sign is that you shall
not speak to mankind for three days except

"O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allâh has chosen

disbelief), and chosen you above the women

lifetime)."
43. O Mary! "Submit yourself with
obedience to your Lord (Allâh, by

(V.3:46) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "None spoke
in cradle but three:(The first was) Jesus, (the second child was): There was a man from
Banî Israel called Juraij. While he was offering prayer, his mother came and called him. He
said (to himself), "Shall I answer her or keep on praying?" (He went on praying and did not
answer her). His mother said, "O Allah! Do not let him die till he sees the faces of
prostitutes." So while he was in his hermitage, a lady came and sought to seduce him, but
he refused. So she went to a shepherd and presented herself to him to commit illegal
sexual intercourse with her, and then later she gave birth to a child and claimed that it
belonged to Juraij. The people, therefore, came to him and dismantled his hermitage and

47. She said: "O my Lord! How shall I
have a son when no man has touched me." He
said: "So (it will be) for Allâh creates what
He wills. When He has decreed something,
He says to it only: "Be!" -and it is.
48. And He (Allah) will teach him [‘Îsâ
(Jesus)] the Book and Al-Hikmah (i.e. the
Sunnah, the faultless speech of the
Prophets, wisdom), (and) the Taurât
(Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).
49. And will make him ['Îsâ (Jesus)] a
Messenger to the Children of Israel
(saying): "I have come to you with a sign
from your Lord, that I design for you out of
clay, a figure like that of a bird, and
breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by
Allâh's Leave; and I heal him who was
born blind, and the leper, and I bring the
dead to life by Allah's Leave. And I inform
you of what you eat, and what you store in
your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for
you, if you believe.
50. And I have come confirming that
which was before me of the Taurat
(Torah), and to make lawful to you part of
what was forbidden to you, and I have
come to you with a proof from your Lord.
So fear Allâh and obey me.
51. Truly! Allah is my Lord and your
Lord, so worship Him (Alone). This is the
Straight Path.

expelled him out of it and abused him. Juraij performed ablution and offered prayer, and
then came to the child and said: "O child! Who is your father?" The child replied, "The
shepherd" (after hearing this) the people said, "We shall rebuild your hermitage of gold," but
he said: "No, of nothing but mud." (The third was the hero of the following story): A lady
from Banî Israel was nursing her child at her breast when a handsome rider passed by her.
She said, "O Allah! Make my child like him." On that the child left her breast and facing the
rider said: "O Allah! Do not make me like him." The child then started to suck her breast
صلى الله عليه وسلم again. [Abu Hurairah further said, "As if I were now looking at the Prophet
sucking his finger (in way of demonstration.")]. After a while they (some people) passed by,
with a lady slave and she (i.e. the child's mother) said, "O Allah! Do not make my child like
this (slave-girl)!" On that the child left her breast, and said, "O Allâh! Make me like her."
When she asked why, the child replied, "The rider is one of the tyrants while this slave-girl
is falsely accused of theft and illegal sexual intercourse." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 4, Hadîth
No. 645).

52. Then when 'Îsâ (Jesus) came to
know of their disbelief, he said: "Who will
be my helpers in Allâh's Cause?" Al-
Hawâriyyûn (the disciples) said: "We are
the helpers of Allâh; we believe in Allâh,
and bear witness that we are Muslims (i.e.
we submit to Allâh)."
53. Our Lord! We believe in what You
have sent down, and we follow the
Messenger ['Îsâ (Jesus)]; so write us down
among those who bear witness (to the truth
i.e. Lâ ilâha illallâh - none has the right
to be worshipped but Allâh).
54. And they (disbelievers) plotted [to
kill 'isa (Jesus) عليه السلام], and Allah plotted
too. And Allah is the Best of those who
plot.
55. And (remember) when Allâh said:
"O 'Îsâ (Jesus)! I will take you and raise
you to Myself and clear you [of the forged
statement that 'Îsâ (Jesus) is Allâh's son]
of those who disbelieve, and I will make
those who follow you (Monotheists, who
worship none but Allâh) superior to those

shortly descend amongst you (Muslims), and will judge mankind justly by the law of
the Qur'an (as a just ruler); he will break the cross and kill the pigs and there will be
no Jizyah* (i.e. taxation taken from non-Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that
nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than
the whole world and whatever is in it." Abu Hurairah added: "If you wish, you can
recite (this Verse of the Qur'an): "And there is none of the people of the Scriptures
(Jews and Christians) but must believe in him [i.e. 'isa (Jesus) عليه السلام as a
Messenger of Allâh and a human being] before his ['Îsa (Jesus) ,>JI we or a Jew's or
Christian's] death, and on the Day of Resurrection, he ['isa (Jesus) عليه السلام] will be a
witness against them." (4:159).

in which you used to dispute."
56. "As to those who disbelieve, I will
punish them with a severe torment in this
world and in the Hereafter, and they will
have no helpers."
57. And as for those who believe (in the
Oneness of Allâh) and do righteous good
deeds, Allâh will pay them their reward in
full. And Allâh does not like the Zalimun
(polytheists and wrong-doers).
58. This is what We recite to you (O
Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) of the Verses
and the Wise Reminder (i.e. the Qur'an).
59. Verily, the likeness of 'Îsâ (Jesus)
before Allâh is the likeness of Adam. He
created him from dust, then (He) said to
him: "Be!" - and he was.
60. (This is) the truth from your Lord,
so be not of those who doubt.
61. Then whoever disputes with you
concerning him ['Îsâ (Jesus)] after (all this)
knowledge that has come to you [i.e. 'Îsâ
(Jesus) being a slave of Allâh, and having
no share in Divinity], say: (O Muhammad
Come, let us call our sons" (صلى الله عليه وسلم

women, ourselves and yourselves - then
we pray and invoke (sincerely) the Curse
of Allâh upon those who lie."

(V.3:64) Narrated Ibn 'Abbas Luis al (+): Abu Sufyan narrated to me personally, saying,
"I set out during the truce that had been concluded between me and Allah's Messenger .
was brought to صلى الله عليه وسلم While I was in Sham, a letter sent by the Prophet.اللّه عليه وسلم
Heraclius. Dihya Al-Kalbi had brought and given it to the governor of Busra, and the latter
forwarded it to Heraclius. Heraclius said, 'Is there anyone from the people of this man who
claims to be a Prophet?' The people replied, 'Yes,' so, along with some other Quraishi men,
I was called and we entered upon Heraclius, and we were seated in front of him. Then he
said, 'Who amongst you is the nearest relative to the man who claims to be a Prophet?' I
(Abu Sufyan) replied: 'I am the nearest relative to him from amongst the group.' So they
made me sit in front of him and made my companions sit behind me. Then he called upon
his translator and said (to him). 'Tell them (i.e. Abu Sufyan's companions) that I am going
to ask him (i.e. Abu Sufyan) regarding that man who claims to be a Prophet. So, if he tells
me a lie, they should contradict him (instantly).' By Allah, had I not been afraid that my
companions would consider me a liar, I would have told lies. Heraclius then said to his
translator, 'Ask him: What is his (i.e. the Prophet's) family status amongst you?' I said, 'He
belongs to a noble family amongst us.' Heraclius said, 'Was any of his ancestors a king?' I
said, 'No'. He said, 'Did you ever accuse him of telling lies before his saying what he has
said?' I said, 'No'. He said, 'Do the nobles follow him or the poor people?' I said, 'It is the
poor who follow him.' He said, 'Is the number of his followers increasing or decreasing?' I
said, 'They are increasing.' He said, 'Does anyone renounce his religion (i.e. Islam) after
embracing it, being displeased with it?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'Did you fight with him?' I
replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'How was your fighting with him?' I said, 'The fighting between us
was undecided and victory was shared by him and us in turns. He inflicts casualties upon
us and we inflict casualties upon him.' He said, 'Did he ever betray?' I said, 'No, but now we
are away from him in this truce and we do not know what he will do in it.' " Abu Sufyan
added, "By Allah, I was not able to insert in my speech a word (against him) except that.
Heraclius said, 'Did anybody else (amongst you) ever claim the same (i.e. to be Allah's
Prophet) before him?' I said, 'No'. Then Heraclius told his translator to tell me (i.e. Abu
Sufyan), 'I asked you about his family status amongst you, and you told me that he comes
from a noble family amongst you. Verily, all Messengers come from the noblest family
among their people. Then I asked you whether any of his ancestors was a king, and you
denied that. Thereupon I thought that had one of his forefathers been a king, I would have

Then, if they turn away, say: "Bear witness
that we are Muslims."
said that he (i.e. Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ) was seeking to rule the kingdom of his
forefathers. Then I asked you regarding his followers, whether they were the noble or the
poor among the people, and you said that they were only poor (who follow him). In fact,
such are the followers of the Messengers. Then I asked you whether you have ever
accused him of telling lies before he said what he said, and your reply was in the negative.
Therefore, I took for granted that a man who did not tell a lie about others, could never tell a
lie about Allah. Then I asked you whether anyone of his followers had renounced his
religion (i.e. Islam) after embracing it, being displeased with it, and you denied that. And
such is faith when its delight enters the heart and mixes with it completely. Then I asked
you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You claimed that they were
increasing, that is the way of true faith till it is complete. Then I asked you whether you had
ever fought with him, and you claimed that you had fought with him and the battle between
you and him was undecided and the victory was shared by you and him in turns; he inflicted
casualties upon you and you inflicted casualties upon them. Such is the case with the
Messengers, they are put to trials and the final victory is for them. Then I asked you
whether he has ever betrayed anyone; you claimed that he had never betrayed. Indeed,
Messengers never betray. Then I asked you whether anyone had said this statement before
him; and you denied that. Thereupon I thought if somebody had said that statement before
him, then I would have said that he was but a man copying some sayings said before him.'
Abu Sufyan said, "Heraclius then asked me, 'What does he order you to do?' I said, 'He
orders us (to offer) prayers and (to pay) Zakat, and to keep good relationship with the kith
and kin, and to be chaste.' Then Heraclius said, 'If whatever you have said is true, then he
is really a Prophet. I knew that he (i.e. the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) was going to appear, but
I never thought that he would be from amongst you. If I were certain that I can reach him, I
would like to meet him and if I were with him, I would wash his feet; and his kingdom will
expand (surely) to what is under my feet.' Then Heraclius asked for the letter of Allah's
Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and read it, wherein was written:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
(This letter is) from Muhammad, Messenger of Allâh, to Heraclius, the sovereign of
Byzantine
Peace be upon him who follows the Right Path. Now then, I call you to embrace Islam.
Embrace Islam and you will be saved (from Allah's punishment); embrace Islam, and Allâh
will give you a double reward, but if you reject this, you will be responsible for the sins of all
the people of your kingdom: (Allah's Statement):
"O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Come to a word that is just between us
and you, that we worship none but Allah (Alone) ... bear witness that we are Muslims."
(3:64).
"When he finished reading the letter, voices grew louder near him and there was a great
hue and cry, and we were ordered to go out." Abu Sufyan added, "While coming out, I said
to my companions, 'The matter of Ibn Abu Kabshah* (i.e. Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has
become so prominent that even the king of Banu Al-Asfar (i.e. the Romans) is afraid of
him.' So I continued to believe that Allah's Messenger L, we at 1. would be victorious, till
Allâh made me embrace Islam." Az-Zuhri said, "Heraclius then invited all the chiefs of the

wish to have a permanent success and guidance and that your kingdom should remain with
you?' (Immediately after hearing that), they rushed towards the gate like onagers, but they
found them closed. Heraclius then said, 'Bring them back to me.' So he called them and
said, 'I just wanted to test the strength of your adherence to your religion. Now I have
observed of you that which I like.' Then the people fell in prostration before him and
became pleased with him." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadîth No.75).

65. O people of the Scripture (Jews and
Christians)! Why do you dispute about
Ibrâhîm (Abraham), while the Taurât
(Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) were not
revealed till after him? Have you then no
sense?
66. Verily, you are those who have
disputed about that of which you have
knowledge. Why do you then dispute
concerning that of which you have no
knowledge? It is Allâh Who knows, and
you know not.
67. Ibrâhîm (Abraham) was neither a
Jew nor a Christian, but he was a true
Muslim Hanîfa (Islamic Monotheism - to
worship none but Allâh Alone) and he was
not of Al-Mushrikun (See V.2:105)[1.
68. Verily, among mankind who have
the best claim to Ibrâhîm (Abraham) are
those who followed him, and this Prophet
(Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) and those who
have believed (Muslims). And Allâh is the
Walî (Protector and Helper) of the
believers.
69. A party of the people of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians) wish to
lead you astray. But they shall not lead
astray anyone except themselves, and they
perceive not.
70. "O people of the Scripture! (Jews
and Christians): Why do you disbelieve in
the Ayat of Allâh, [the Verses about
Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم present
in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel
(Gospel)] while you (yourselves) bear
witness (to their truth)."

72. And a party of the people of the
Scripture say: "Believe in the morning in
that which is revealed to the believers
(Muslims), and reject it at the end of the
day, so that they may turn back,
73. And believe no one except the one
who follows your religion.
Say (O
Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم):"Verily! Right
guidance is the Guidance of Allâh" and do
not believe that anyone can receive like
that which you have received, otherwise
they would engage you in argument before

[٦] (V. 3:71) Narrated Anas رضى الله عنه : There was a christian who embraced Islam and read
Sûrat-Al-Baqara and Al-'Imran, and he used to write (the revelations) for the Prophet auf.
صلى اللّه Later on he reverted to Christianity again, and he used to say:"Muhammad . عليه وسلم
, Ale knows nothing but what I have written for him." Then Allah caused him to die, and
the people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had thrown his body out.
They said, "This is the act of Muhammad صلى اللّه عليه وسلم and his companions. They dug the
grave of our companion and took his body out because he had run away from them." They
again dug the grave deeply for him, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had
thrown his body out. They said, "This is an act of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his
companions. They dug the grave of our companion and took his body outside it, for he had
run away from them." They dug the grave for him as deep as they could, but in the morning
they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. So they believed that what had
befallen him was not done by human beings and had to leave him thrown (on the ground).

74. He selects for His Mercy (Islam and
the Qur'an with Prophethood) whom He

75. Among the people of the Scripture
(Jews and Christians) is he who, if
entrusted with a Qintâr (a great amount of
wealth, etc.), will readily pay it back; and
among them there is he who, if entrusted
with a single silver coin, will not repay it

See V.2:2).
77. Verily, those who purchase a small
gain at the cost of Allâh's Covenant and
their oaths, they shall have no portion in

who distort the Book with their tongues (as
they read), so that you may think it is from

they say: "This is from Allâh," but it is not
from Allâh; and they speak a lie against
Allâh while they know it.
79. It is not (possible) for any human
being to whom Allâh has given the Book
and
Al-Hukm (the knowledge and
understanding of the laws of religion) and
Prophethood to say to the people: "Be my
worshippers rather than Allah's." On the
contrary (he would say): "Be you

angels and Prophets for lords (gods) .
Would he order you to disbelieve after you
have submitted to Allâh's Will? (Tafsir At-

81. And (remember) when Allâh took
the Covenant of the Prophets, saying:
"Take whatever I gave you from the Book
and Hikmah (understanding of the Laws of
Allâh), and afterwards there will come to
صلى الله عليه you a Messenger (Muhammad
,) confirming what is with you; you
must, then, believe in him and help him."
Allâh said: "Do you agree (to it) and will
you take up My Covenant (which I
conclude with you)?" They said: "We
agree." He said: "Then bear witness; and I
am with you among the witnesses (for
this)."

they are the Fasiqun (rebellious: those who
turn away from Allâh's Obedience).

worshipping none but Allâh Alone), while

a) It is obligatory to have Belief in the Messengership of the Prophet (Muhammad & l.
said: "By Him صلى الله عليه وسلم Allah's Messenger: رضى الله عنه Narrated Abu Hurairah.(عليه وسلم
(Allâh) in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, there is none from amongst the Jews and the
Christians (of these present nations) who hears about me and then dies without believing in
the Message with which I have been sent (i.e. Islamic Monotheism), but he will be from the
dwellers of the (Hell) Fire." (Sahih Muslim, the Book of Faith, Vol. 1, Hadith No. 240). [See
also (V.3:116)]
b) The asking of (angel) Jibrael (Gabriel) from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم about Belief,
Islâm, Ihsân (perfection) and the knowledge of the Hour (Doomsday), and their explanation
given to him by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم .Then the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said (to his
companions):"Jibrael (Gabriel) عليه السلام came to teach you your religion." So the Prophet
صلى الله عليه وسلم regarded all that as a religion. And all that which the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
explained to the delegation of 'Abdul-Qais was a part of faith. (See Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. I,
Hadîth No.50 and 87) And the Statement of Allah Ja , ;+: "And whoever seeks a religion
other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him." (3:85).
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :One day while the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was sitting in
the company of some people, (The angel) Jibrael (Gabriel) ,>JI we came and asked, "What
is Faith?" Allah's Messenger صلى اللّه عليه وسلم replied, "Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels,
(the) meeting with Him, His messengers, and to believe in Resurrection."* Then he further
asked, "What is Islam?" Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, "To worship Allah Alone
and none else, to perform As-Salât (Iqamat-as-Salât), to give the Zakat and to observe
Saum (fasts) during the month of Ramadan," ** then he further asked, "What is Ihsân
(perfection)?" Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, "To worship Allah عز وجل as if you
see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is
looking at you." Then he further asked, "When will the Hour be established?" Allah's
Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge than the
questioner. But I will inform you about its portents:
(1) When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master.
(2) When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the
construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of the five things which nobody knows
except Allâh.
The Prophet صلى اللّه عليه وسلم then recited: "Verily, the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah
(Alone)." (31:34). Then that man (Gabriel عليه السلام) left and the Prophet صلی الله عليه وسلم asked
صلى الله عليه his Companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet
".who came to teach the people their religion عليه السلام said, "That was (angel) Gabriel وسلم
Abu 'Abdullah رضى الله عنه said: He (the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) considered all that as a part
of faith. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.1, Hadîth No.47).
* In this Hadîth, only 4 articles are mentioned, while in another Hadîth, 6 articles are
mentioned: (i) Allâh, (ii) His Angels, (iii) His Books (The Torah, The Gospel, The Qur'an and
all the other Holy Books revealed by Allâh), (iv) His Messengers, (v) Day of Resurrection
and (vi) Al-Qadar (Divine Pre-ordainments), i.e. whatever Allâh has ordained, must come to
pass.
** Again the principles of Islam mentioned here are 4, but in other narrations, they are 5 -
5th is the pilgrimage (Hajj) to Makkah for the one who can afford it once in a lifetime.

86. How shall Allâh guide a people who
disbelieved after their belief and after they
bore
witness that the Messenger
(Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is true and after
clear proofs had come unto them? And
Allâh guides not the people who are
Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers).
87. They are those whose recompense is
that on them (rests) the Curse of Allah, of
the angels, and of all mankind.
88. They will abide therein (Hell).
Neither will their torment be lightened, nor
will it be delayed or postponed (for a
while).
89. Except for those who repent after
that and do righteous deeds. Verily, Allâh
is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
90. Verily, those who disbelieved after
their Belief and then went on increasing in
their disbelief (i.e. disbelief in the Qur'an
(صلى الله عليه وسلم and in Prophet Muhammad
- never will their repentance be accepted
[because they repent only by their tongues
and not from their hearts]. And they are
those who are astray.
91. Verily, those who disbelieved, and
died while they were disbelievers, the
(whole) earth full of gold will not be
accepted from anyone of them even if they
offered it as a ransom 11. For them is a
painful torment and they will have no
helpers.
[1]
(V.3:91). Narrated Anas bin Malik رضى الله عنه :Allah's Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to say,
"A disbeliever will be asked: 'Suppose you had as much gold as to fill the earth, would you
offer it to ransom yourself (from the Hell-Fire)?' He will reply, 'Yes.' Then it will be said to
him, 'You were asked for something easier than that (to join none in worship) with Allâh (i.e.
to accept Islâm, but you refused).' " (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, Hadîth No. 546).

92. By no means shall you attain Al-Birr
(piety, righteousness - here it means
Allâh's Reward, i.e. Paradise), unless you
spend (in Allâh's Cause) of that which you
love; and whatever of good you spend, Allâh
knows it well.
93. All food was lawful to the Children
of Israel, except what Israel made unlawful
for himself before the Taurat (Torah) was
:(صلى الله عليه وسلم revealed. Say (O Muhammad
"Bring here the Taurât (Torah) and recite it,
if you are truthful."
94. Then after that, whosoever shall
invent a lie against Allâh, ... such shall
indeed be the Zâlimun (disbelievers).
:(صلى الله عليه وسلم Say (O Muhammad .95
"Allâh has spoken the truth; follow the
religion of Ibrâhîm (Abraham) Hanîfa
(Islamic Monotheism, i.e. he used to
worship Allâh Alone), and he was not of Al-

96. Verily, the first House (of worship)
appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah
(Makkah), full of blessing, and a guidance
for Al-'Âlamîn (mankind and jinn).
97. In it are manifest signs (for
example), the Maqâm (place) of Ibrâhîm
(Abraham); whosoever enters it, he attains
security. And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah)
to the House (Ka'bah) is a duty that
mankind owes to Allâh, those who can
afford the expenses (for one's conveyance,
provision and residence); and whoever
disbelieves [i.e. denies Hajj (pilgrimage to
Makkah), then he is a disbeliever of Allâh],
then Allah stands not in need of any of the
'Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)[1].
لَنْ ثَنَالُواْالْبِرَّحَتَّى تُنفِقُواْ مِمَّا تُحِبُونُ
وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِن شَىْءٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِهِ، عَلِيمٌ
﴿ كُلُّ الطَّعَامِ كَانَ حِلَّ لِبَنِىّ إِسْرَاءِ يلَ إِلَّا
مَا حَرَّمَ إِسْرَءِ يلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، مِن قَبْلِ أَنْ تُنَزَّلَ
التَّوْرَنَةُ قُلْ فَأْتُواْ بِالتَّوْرَةِ فَأَتْلُوهَا إِن كُنتُمْ
صَدِقِينَ
فَمَنِ افْتَرَىُ عَلَى اللَّهِ اَلْكَذِبَ مِنْ بَعْدٍ ذَلِكَ
فَأَوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الَّلِمُونَ
قُلْ صَدَقَ اللهُفَاتَّبِعُوْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَهِيمَ حَنِيفًا
وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ

إِنَّأَوَّلَ بَيْتٍ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِى بِبَكَّةَ مُبَارَكًا
وَهُدَّى لِّلْعَلَمِينَ
فِيهِ ءَايَتُ بَيِّنَنتُ مَّقَامُ إِبْرَاهِيمٌ وَمَن دَخَلَهُ كَانَ
ءَامِنَّأُ وَ لِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ
إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ
غَنِىُّ عَنِ الْعَلَمِينَ
