Surah Āli `Imrān (Family of Imran) in English

1. فانقلبوا بنعمة من الله وفضل لم يمسسهم سوء واتبعوا رضوان الله والله ذو فضل عظيم

   174

   So they returned with Allah’s blessing and grace, untouched by any harm. They pursued the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is dispenser of a great grace.

   fa-nqalabū bi-niʿmatin mina llāhi wa-faḍlin lam yamsashum sūʾun wa-ttabaʿū riḍwāna llāhi wa-llāhu dhū faḍlin ʿaẓīmin

2. إنما ذلكم الشيطان يخوف أولياءه فلا تخافوهم وخافون إن كنتم مؤمنين

   175

   That is only Satan frightening [you] of his followers! So fear them not, and fear Me, should you be faithful.

   ʾinnamā dhālikumu sh-shayṭānu yukhawwifu ʾawliyāʾahū fa-lā takhāfūhum wa-khāfūni ʾin kuntum muʾminīna

3. ولا يحزنك الذين يسارعون في الكفر إنهم لن يضروا الله شيئا يريد الله ألا يجعل لهم حظا في الآخرة ولهم عذاب عظيم

   176

   Do not grieve for those who are active in unfaith; they will not hurt Allah in the least: Allah desires to give them no share in the Hereafter, and there is a great punishment for them.

   wa-lā yaḥzunka lladhīna yusāriʿūna fī l-kufri ʾinnahum lan yaḍurrū llāha shayʾan yurīdu llāhu ʾallā yajʿala lahum ḥaẓẓan fī l-ʾākhirati wa-lahum ʿadhābun ʿaẓīmun

4. إن الذين اشتروا الكفر بالإيمان لن يضروا الله شيئا ولهم عذاب أليم

   177

   Those who have bought unfaith for faith will not hurt Allah in the least, and there is a painful punishment for them.

   ʾinna lladhīna shtarawu l-kufra bi-l-ʾīmāni lan yaḍurrū llāha shayʾan wa-lahum ʿadhābun ʾalīmun

5. ولا يحسبن الذين كفروا أنما نملي لهم خير لأنفسهم إنما نملي لهم ليزدادوا إثما ولهم عذاب مهين

   178

   Let the faithless not suppose that the respite that We grant them is good for their souls: We give them respite only that they may increase in sin, and there is a humiliating punishment for them.

   wa-lā yaḥsabanna lladhīna kafarū ʾannamā numlī lahum khayrun li-ʾanfusihim ʾinnamā numlī lahum li-yazdādū ʾithman wa-lahum ʿadhābun muhīnun

6. ما كان الله ليذر المؤمنين على ما أنتم عليه حتى يميز الخبيث من الطيب وما كان الله ليطلعكم على الغيب ولكن الله يجتبي من رسله من يشاء فآمنوا بالله ورسله وإن تؤمنوا وتتقوا فلكم أجر عظيم

   179

   Allah will not leave the faithful in your present state, until He has separated the bad ones from the good. Allah will not acquaint you with the Unseen, but Allah chooses whomever He wishes from His apostles. So have faith in Allah and His apostles; and if you are faithful and Godwary, there shall be a great reward for you.

   mā kāna llāhu li-yadhara l-muʾminīna ʿalā mā ʾantum ʿalayhi ḥattā yamīza l-khabītha mina ṭ-ṭayyibi wa-mā kāna llāhu li-yuṭliʿakum ʿalā l-ghaybi wa-lākinna llāha yajtabī min rusulihī man yashāʾu fa-ʾāminū bi-llāhi wa-rusulihī wa-ʾin tuʾminū wa-tattaqū fa-lakum ʾajrun ʿaẓīmun

7. ولا يحسبن الذين يبخلون بما آتاهم الله من فضله هو خيرا لهم بل هو شر لهم سيطوقون ما بخلوا به يوم القيامة ولله ميراث السماوات والأرض والله بما تعملون خبير

   180

   Let the stingy not suppose that [their grudging] what Allah has given them out of His bounty is good for them; no, it is bad for them. They will be collared with what they grudge on the Day of Resurrection. To Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is well aware of what you do.

   wa-lā yaḥsabanna lladhīna yabkhalūna bi-mā ʾātāhumu llāhu min faḍlihī huwa khayran lahum bal huwa sharrun lahum sa-yuṭawwaqūna mā bakhilū bihī yawma l-qiyāmati wa-li-llāhi mīrāthu s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍi wa-llāhu bi-mā taʿmalūna khabīrun
