Surah Āli `Imrān (Family of Imran) in English

1. إذ همت طائفتان منكم أن تفشلا والله وليهما وعلى الله فليتوكل المؤمنون

   122

   When two groups among you were about to lose courage—though Allah is their guardian, and in Allah let all the faithful put their trust.

   ʾidh hammat ṭāʾifatāni minkum ʾan tafshalā wa-llāhu waliyyuhumā wa-ʿalā llāhi fa-l-yatawakkali l-muʾminūna

2. ولقد نصركم الله ببدر وأنتم أذلة فاتقوا الله لعلكم تشكرون

   123

   Certainly Allah helped you at Badr, when you were weak [in the enemy’s eyes]. So be wary of Allah so that you may give thanks.

   wa-la-qad naṣarakumu llāhu bi-badrin wa-ʾantum ʾadhillatun fa-ttaqū llāha laʿallakum tashkurūna

3. إذ تقول للمؤمنين ألن يكفيكم أن يمدكم ربكم بثلاثة آلاف من الملائكة منزلين

   124

   When you were saying to the faithful, ‘Is it not enough for you that your Lord should aid you with three thousand angels sent down?’

   ʾidh taqūlu li-l-muʾminīna ʾa-lan yakfiyakum ʾan yumiddakum rabbukum bi-thalāthati ʾālāfin mina l-malāʾikati munzalīna

4. بلى إن تصبروا وتتقوا ويأتوكم من فورهم هذا يمددكم ربكم بخمسة آلاف من الملائكة مسومين

   125

   Yes, if you are steadfast and Godwary, and should they come at you suddenly, your Lord will aid you with five thousand angels sent in [to the scene of battle].

   balā ʾin taṣbirū wa-tattaqū wa-yaʾtūkum min fawrihim hādhā yumdidkum rabbukum bi-khamsati ʾālāfin mina l-malāʾikati musawwimīna

5. وما جعله الله إلا بشرى لكم ولتطمئن قلوبكم به وما النصر إلا من عند الله العزيز الحكيم

   126

   Allah did not appoint it but as a good news for you and to reassure with it your hearts; and victory comes only from Allah, the All-mighty, the All-wise,

   wa-mā jaʿalahu llāhu ʾillā bushrā lakum wa-li-taṭmaʾinna qulūbukum bihī wa-mā n-naṣru ʾillā min ʿindi llāhi l-ʿazīzi l-ḥakīmi

6. ليقطع طرفا من الذين كفروا أو يكبتهم فينقلبوا خائبين

   127

   that He may cut down a section of the faithless, or subdue them, so that they retreat disappointed.

   li-yaqṭaʿa ṭarafan mina lladhīna kafarū ʾaw yakbitahum fa-yanqalibū khāʾibīna

7. ليس لك من الأمر شيء أو يتوب عليهم أو يعذبهم فإنهم ظالمون

   128

   You have no hand in the matter, whether He accepts their repentance or punishes them, for they are indeed wrongdoers.

   laysa laka mina l-ʾamri shayʾun ʾaw yatūba ʿalayhim ʾaw yuʿadhdhibahum fa-ʾinnahum ẓālimūna

8. ولله ما في السماوات وما في الأرض يغفر لمن يشاء ويعذب من يشاء والله غفور رحيم

   129

   To Allah belongs whatever there is in the heavens and the earth: He forgives whomever He wishes and punishes whomever He wishes, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.

   wa-li-llāhi mā fī s-samāwāti wa-mā fī l-ʾarḍi yaghfiru li-man yashāʾu wa-yuʿadhdhibu man yashāʾu wa-llāhu ghafūrun raḥīmun

9. يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تأكلوا الربا أضعافا مضاعفة واتقوا الله لعلكم تفلحون

   130

   O you who have faith! Do not exact usury, twofold and severalfold, and be wary of Allah so that you may be felicitous.

   yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū lā taʾkulū r-ribā ʾaḍʿāfan muḍāʿafatan wa-ttaqū llāha laʿallakum tufliḥūna

10. واتقوا النار التي أعدت للكافرين

    131

    Beware of the Fire, which has been prepared for the faithless,

    wa-ttaqū n-nāra llatī ʾuʿiddat li-l-kāfirīna

11. وأطيعوا الله والرسول لعلكم ترحمون

    132

    and obey Allah and the Apostle so that you may be granted [His] mercy.

    wa-ʾaṭīʿū llāha wa-r-rasūla laʿallakum turḥamūna
