Surah Āli `Imrān (Family of Imran) in English

1. فاستجاب لهم ربهم أني لا أضيع عمل عامل منكم من ذكر أو أنثى بعضكم من بعض فالذين هاجروا وأخرجوا من ديارهم وأوذوا في سبيلي وقاتلوا وقتلوا لأكفرن عنهم سيئاتهم ولأدخلنهم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار ثوابا من عند الله والله عنده حسن الثواب

   195

   Then their Lord answered them, ‘I do not waste the work of any worker among you, whether male or female; you are all on the same footing. So those who migrated and were expelled from their homes, and were tormented in My way, and those who fought and were killed—I will surely absolve them of their misdeeds and I will admit them into gardens with streams running in them, as a reward from Allah, and Allah—with Him is the best of rewards.’

   fa-stajāba lahum rabbuhum ʾannī lā ʾuḍīʿu ʿamala ʾāmilin minkum min dhakarin ʾaw ʾunthā baʿḍukum min baʿḍin fa-lladhīna hājarū wa-ʾukhrijū min diyārihim wa-ʾūdhū fī sabīlī wa-qātalū wa-qutilū la-ʾukaffiranna ʿanhum sayyiʾātihim wa-la-ʾudkhilannahum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihā l-ʾanhāru thawāban min ʿindi llāhi wa-llāhu ʿindahū ḥusnu th-thawābi

2. لا يغرنك تقلب الذين كفروا في البلاد

   196

   Never be misled by the bustle of the faithless in the towns.

   lā yaghurrannaka taqallubu lladhīna kafarū fī l-bilādi

3. متاع قليل ثم مأواهم جهنم وبئس المهاد

   197

   It is a trivial enjoyment; then their refuge is hell, and it is an evil resting place.

   matāʿun qalīlun thumma maʾwāhum jahannamu wa-biʾsa l-mihādu

4. لكن الذين اتقوا ربهم لهم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها نزلا من عند الله وما عند الله خير للأبرار

   198

   But those who are wary of their Lord—for them shall be gardens with streams running in them, to remain in them [forever], a hospitality from Allah; and what is with Allah is better for the pious.

   lākini lladhīna ttaqaw rabbahum lahum jannātun tajrī min taḥtihā l-ʾanhāru khālidīna fīhā nuzulan min ʿindi llāhi wa-mā ʿinda llāhi khayrun li-l-ʾabrāri

5. وإن من أهل الكتاب لمن يؤمن بالله وما أنزل إليكم وما أنزل إليهم خاشعين لله لا يشترون بآيات الله ثمنا قليلا أولئك لهم أجرهم عند ربهم إن الله سريع الحساب

   199

   Indeed among the People of the Book there are some who have faith in Allah and in what has been sent down to you, and in what has been sent down to them. Humble toward Allah, they do not sell the signs of Allah for a paltry gain. They shall have their reward near their Lord; indeed Allah is swift at reckoning.

   wa-ʾinna min ʾahli l-kitābi la-man yuʾminu bi-llāhi wa-mā ʾunzila ʾilaykum wa-mā ʾunzila ʾilayhim khāshiʿīna li-llāhi lā yashtarūna bi-ʾāyāti llāhi thamanan qalīlan ʾulāʾika lahum ʾajruhum ʿinda rabbihim ʾinna llāha sarīʿu l-ḥisābi

6. يا أيها الذين آمنوا اصبروا وصابروا ورابطوا واتقوا الله لعلكم تفلحون

   200

   O you who have faith! Be patient, stand firm, and close [your] ranks, and be wary of Allah so that you may be felicitous.

   yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū ṣbirū wa-ṣābirū wa-rābiṭū wa-ttaqū llāha laʿallakum tufliḥūna
