Insha'allah by October 2003
we are hoping to publish the complete Koran and by that time entire version
will also be available online. On demand
the Koran is made available as soon as the surah is typed in. Hence, it might
also be possible that is contains some mistakes. Please pardon us for them and
we will make sure that the published version does not contain any mistakes. The
online versions are corrected as soon as mistakes are pointed out. You can

Interpretation of Koran
Momin
Surah 3: Ale-Imran
3:
1-2
Allah, the Wise and the Knowing, has said: Allah is the sole Authority in the
universe, the Self-Subsisting and Eternal.
3:
3
He has revealed you this (book) which is based on truth and validates the
previous revelations the Torah and the Bible and differentiates between
right and wrong.
3:
4-5
Surely, those who reject this Divine Code shall suffer grievously in accordance
with Allah's Law of Mukafat, which no one can escape from. There is nothing
hidden from Allah in this universe.
3:
6
He (is the One) Who shapes you in your mother's womb according to His Law of
Mashiyat. He is Almighty and Wise.
3:
7 Allah has revealed this book to you. In it there are two kinds of verses:
Those
who intend to deviate from Allah's Path, take the figurative verses in their
literal meaning, hence, creating frictions with their own interpretations.
Remember, Allah knows the essence of realities which these verses represent.
Those who have the right approach to the knowledge also understand the
realities (in these verses) and their significances. These are the people with
understanding.
3:
8-10
(Their entreaty is) O Allay! Having ascertained the right course, may we
stay steadfastly on it. Provide us the means to develop ourselves. You alone
are the capable of doing this. We can see that at the moment the humanity is
split, but ultimately the mankind will be united by following you immutable
Divine Code for, Allah never fails to fulfill His pledge. (Whilst) those who
reject the Divine Laws, neither their wealth nor offspring shall avail them.
Their end will be baleful.
3:
14
For those whose objective are only secular; their thirst is for the pleasures
derived from women and children, treasures of gold and silver, horses, cattle
and harvest. Tell them these are only the comforts of this life (no the
ultimate goal of life). Ultimate goal (of life is to strive for the development
of the human self which) is only obtained by following the path prescribed by
Allah.
3:
18
Allah is the sole authority in the universe which is evident by the and the first evidence is the correct concept of
Allah Himself, subsequently the evidence is evident by all the celestial force,
whose (harmonious) labors confirm that the entire universe is controlled by One
and follow One Supreme Law. Also, those who use knowledge, establish an Order
based on equity and justice, their society is a living proof of Allah's
Authority. All these commendations lead to the ultimate truth that there is
only one supreme authority and it is Allah and the harmony of the entire
universe is because of His Might and Cogency.
3:
32
Tell (them), The practical way of establishing the Islamic Society is by
complete obedience to the Laws of Allah, not individually but collectively
the central authority of which is the rasool whose decisions are in accordance
with the Laws of Allah and are to be obeyed. If you turn away from this course
you will be considered among the Kaferin.
These
are the things which are being told to you through revelation otherwise you
were neither present at the time when the lots were being drawn nor when they
quarreled with one another.
At
present you are visionless. Through this revelation you will get a sight so
that you can follow the Divine Course.
At
present fields of your activities are lifeless and yield nothing. Through this
revelation they will become green and fecund. Your degraded character because
of which others avoid you, will also be removed.
Thus
your ongoing death-like state of life which is full of disgrace and debasement
will be changed into a news life.
I
will establish an economic system (which will replace your present economic
system) which will help in keeping an eye on you to see how much of life's
necessities you utilize and how much you hoard in order to bring back unlawful
profit from it.
The
changes which I am bringing serve as a evident of my being a rasool.
Keep
this in the mind that such disputes and confrontations are eventually settled according
to My Law of Mukafat.
3:
60
This [see
3:
61
If anyone disputes with you in this matter after so clear arguments then say,
It is not our way to waste time on futile disputes. We go our way and you
follow your own way. We should not interfere in each other's and the results
will show who is deprived of Allah's Benedictions.
3:
62
Surely this is the true explanation because what you have been told is based on
truth and is from Allah who is the Supreme Authority and whose power is blended
with Wisdom.
3:
63
But if they still dispute with you then Allah's Law of Mukafat will deal with
them.
3:
64 Tell
(them), O Ahl-e-Kitab! Leave these subsidiary matters aside and reflect on the
fundamentals on which you show to pose, though superficially. These fundamental
(are categorized as):
If
they accept these fundamentals then it is good. And if they do not then tell
them, You follow whatever course you choose but keep in mind that we follow
only Allah's Laws.
3: 65 Ask, O Ahl-e-Kitab! Why do you dispute if
Abraham followed Torah or Bible? You do not even know that these books were
revealed after his time.
3:
66 Strange!
You used to argue about the matters you at least had some knowledge of but how bizarre
it is now, that you are arguing about the matter you have no knowledge about.
It is only Allah who knows and you do not know.
3:
67 (Do
remember that) Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian. He was a true Muslim.
He only followed Allah and did not associate anyone with him.
3:
68
Surely those who followed Abraham were close to him (and they were neither Jews
nor Christians). And now this Rasool and the Momenin are close to him because
they follow the same course. And (remember) Allah is the friend of momenin who
protects them (when in need of because the momenin keep on following Allah's
Laws even when in trouble).
3:
69
A group of Ahl-e-Kitab want to come at a compromise with you which will mean
deviating from the right course. These people are self-decieved and do not
realize that those who accept the truth cannot compromise.
3:
70
(Ask them) O Ahl-e-Kitab! Why do you continue to deny Allah's Laws after that
you have seen so much evidence which testifies to them?
3:
71
(Ask them) O Ahl-e-Kitab! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood and
intently conceal the truth.
3:
72
And another group of Ahl-e-Kitab resort to another subversive technique. They
ask their people, Join the Muslims at the dawn pretending to be believers and
then leave them at the dusk. During this time period engage in arguments which
would create senseless doubts in the minds of Muslims and may be this way some
Muslims recant their Eman.
3:
73 -74 They
push their people telling them, Talk to the momenin but accept only what is
said by those who follow your own course. And do not even doubt that what you
are following is in anyway even comparable to anyone else's. And do remember
that any plea made by your opponents will not prevail in front of Allah. And
tell them:
For
Allah is All-Embracing and on the basis of His infinite knowledge He chooses
the one who is most suitable to receive the revelation and Allah is boundless
in His benedictions.
3:
75
And amongst the Ahl-e-Kitab there are some who would return a treasure if you
would entrust them with it and there are also some who would not give back a
dinar if you would entrust them with it except if you press on with your
demand. The justification advocated by them for their action is that whatever
done to non-Ahl-e-Kitab is permissible. This all is a lie finagled upon Allah
whilst they know that Allah's Law requires them to keep their pledges.
3:
76
(Do remember) that pledges made amongst you are in fact made with Allah and He
likes those who stay on the course of his Laws.
3:
77
(As for) those who violate the trusts may get some material gains but (be sure)
they will not have any portion of Allah's blessings in the Hereafter and Allah
will not speak to them at the Day of Judgment nor will He speak to them much
less pardon them and they will receive severe punishment.
3:
78 There
is (another) group among them who mix their own created verses with Allah's
Laws dictated in His Book in such a way that the two become indistinguishable.
And (then) they say that these laws are from Allah, whence in reality they are
not from Allah and intently they finagle a lie upon Allah.
3:
79
(It is the fundamental principle of Islam that all humans are equal, therefore
even) if Allah gives His Divine Code to a human or the power to enforce it or
even Nabovat he does not have the right to order others, You have to follow me
rather than Allah. What he should say is, You should be the ones who are near
to Allah by following his Book which you study and teach to others.
3:
80
Neither will he tell others to worship Malaekah nor their rasool. (Also) a
momin will never do so. Do you (really think) that after he has himself
believed he would order others to recourse to Kufr?
3:
81
And (remember) when Allah made a covenant through (all previous) rasool that
when the last Rasool will come validating the claims and promises made in their
Books they will not only accept him but also help him.
Allah
asked them, Are you aware that you are accepting the bond on these terms?
They replied, We are. Then Allah said, Be witness to this (covenant) and I
will also be a witness along with you.
3:
82
(And it was made clear that) whosoever turns back would be counted amongst
those who have deserted the right course.
3:
83
Do they seek for a Deen (a system of governing and social laws) which is other
than this? Can't they see that everything in the universe obeys only the Laws
of Allah, and willingly or unwillingly they will have to stand in front of
Allah in the end?
3:
84
Say, We believe in Allah and in that which he has revealed to us, and in that
which was disclosed to Abraham, Ismael, Isaac and Jacob (Yakoob) and their
descendants and what was revealed to Moses, Jesus and the other rasool from
their Rab. Also we do not make any distinction amongst them and we only follow
the course prescribed by Allah.
3:
85
This is Islam and anyone adopting a course besides this will not be accepted
and ultimately he will be the losers.
3:
86
Those who acknowledged their Eman and their rasool has established the Islamic
Society which is the living testament to the truth and after (all this) if they
turn towards the course of kufr, then who can guide them?
And
Allah's Laws are such that the zalemin cannot be addressed to receive His
Guidance.
3:
87
These (kind of) people [see 3: 86] will not receive any blessings of Allah nor
will they have the support of Malaekah and the righteous people.
3:
88-89
They will stay in such a state without any respite, until they give up the
wrong course and make amends for their deeds. And if they do so, then surely
Allah will defend them and provide them required sources of nourishment.
3:
90
If they continue to follow the wrong course implying that their repentance is
just a verbal ceremony then they will surely never reach the right goal.
3:
91
For sure, those who never accepted the truth and died in the state of the kufr
can not escape from their punishment even if (somehow) they (can) offer the
treasures of (the entire) earth to redeem themselves. No one will be able to
help them.
3:
92
By no means can you achieve the true freedom of Self unless you keep open (the
resources) to fulfill the necessities of others from what you cherish greatly.
And whatever you spend, surely Allah knows about it.
3:
93
(There were certain items which Jacob had denied to himself may that be medical
reasons or others.) The Jews included as prohibitions in their dietary laws
even though this was not a Divine Decree. Ask them, if they are true then bring
the Torah and read it out.
3:
94
Then after this (failure), if they keep on foisting lies against Allah they
will be the mushrekin.
3:
95
Say, Allah has disclosed the truth so follow this course, the course followed
by Abraham the Hanif. (Remember) he was not one of the mushrekin.
3:
96 For
sure the first house ever to be select for the entire humanity was
3:
97 This
design is very clear. Additionally this was also the center from where Abraham
achieved the glorious footing as the leader of the humanity. This best quality
of this center is that whosoever enters it would get all round peace and
security. And all those who can assemble there must do so. This way they can
see for themselves the true benefits of the system of which this is the center
[see
3:
98 Ask
the Ahl-e-Kitab, Why do you reject such a beneficial set of laws (for a
society)? And do know that Allah sees all what you do.
3:
99
Ask the Ahl-e-Kibar, Why do you hinder those who wish to follow the course
prescribed by Allah? Not only this, but you also try to make the straight
course of Deen appear to be crooked, when you yourself have seen it to be the
correct course. Allah knows all what you do.
3:
100
O momenin! If you start following any group of these Ahl-e-Kitab, this will
turn you towards kufr.
3:
101
But how can you return to kufr (after professing Eman)? To stay steadfast on
the course of Eman, two principles are indispensable:
You
have both, the Koran and the rasool. (Now) whoever stays steadfast to this
(Islamic Order) will be guided to the right destination.
3:
102
O momenin! Follow this system of laws as it should be followed throughout your
lives.
3:
103
And all of you should hold fast to this Code together and you should not be
divided into sects and groups. Remember Allah's Benediction when he brought you
together when you were at each other's throats (so-close that you called each
others brothers). This strong brotherhood was formed on a strong ideology which
was the great blessing. Before this (ideology) you were standing at the edge of
fire and He pulled you away from this. This is the way Allah makes His
Directives clear so that you might choose the right course.
3:
104
And (for the establishment of this order) there should be a jamat (ummah)
amongst you who calls to enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong
(according to Koran). This is the way you will be prosperous.
3:
105
And be not like those who fell into factions and different amongst themselves
even when clear guidance had come to them. For them there is a grievous
chastisement.
3:
106
There will be two types of people at the Day of Judgment. First one will be
those whose faces will be bright and the second group whose faces will be dark.
Those whose faces are dark, the reason they will be told is that they had
discarded what they had believed in and should reap for what they sow.
3:
107
As to those who have bright faces they will have Allah's blessings and will
enjoy a happy life.
3:
108
These are the communications of Allah based on truth. Had it not been given to
the mankind it would have been a zulm which is not what Allah does to his
creatures.
3:
109
And Allah's Law (is not only for mankind but it) encompasses whatever is in the
heavens and the earth. And it is because of this universality (of the law) that
everything is busily headed towards its ultimate goal.
3:
110
You duty is not only to follow Allah's Laws yourself but you are raised as an
Ummah for the good of all the mankind. Your duty includes enjoining what is right
and forbidding what is wrong by the Koran. If the Ahl-e-Kitab had followed in
this way it would surely have been better for them. Some of them (did) follow
this way but most of them strayed.
3:
111
(Those who stray) they can not harm you other than a trifling harm. (Even) if
they fight with you they will turn their backs upon you and they will not be
helped (by anyone).
3:
112
A life of misery and ignominy they are abiding in. they have no abode in this
world and (just as well) no shelter, except when someone regarding them as
Ahl-e-Kitab gives a shelter or when they are in a treaty with some. Otherwise
their condition was that they were living in a life of humiliation. The reason
that they had continuously rejected the truth of Allah's Guidance and have
transgressed to such an extent that they have even killed the rasool (which is
completely) unjust. (And) all this because they transgressed going beyond the
limits prescribed.
3:
113
They are not all alike. Amongst these Ahl-e-Kitab there are those who have
embraced Islam and recite (or spread) Allah's message during the night,
wholeheartedly.
3:
114
They believe in Allah and the Day of Judgment and they enjoin what Koran
recognizes to be right and forbids what it considers to be wrong. They wholeheartedly
work for the betterment of the mankind. These are the ones who are called
salehin.
3:
115 And
whatever good they do nothing of it will go unacknowledged. And Allah is well
aware of (who are) the mutakin.
3:
116
As for those who do not follow this course, neither their children nor
possessions will be of any advantage to them against Allah and it is they who
headed for the fire, abiding therein (forever).
3:
117
The likeliness of these people spending for a worldly life is that of a freezing
wind which batters and destroy an entire harvest because they did not make
proper arrangements for its protection. (Remember) Allah did not perpetrate any
zulm on them for it is they who brought this upon themselves.
3:
118
O Momenin! Do not take in confidence those who are outside your circle. Because
they will not miss any chance to inflict harm upon you. They gloat over your
distress. Some of their enmity is articulated. But what they conceal in their
hearts is even more harmful. We have told you all this very clearly only if you
would reflect upon it.
3:
119
Lo! You befriend them but they do not befriend you even though you believe in
all the scriptures. When they are amongst you they declare, We also believe,
but when they are by themselves they go wild with rage. Tell them, Perish in
your rage. Allah knows very well what is going in your minds.
3:
120
If good befalls you it grieves them and they rejoice if anything afflicts you.
If you remain steadfast to the course prescribed by Allah their conspiracies
will not harm you and Allah's Law of Mukafat will envelop them.
3:
121
And when you left your home early in the morning to set your forces in position
(for the battle of Ohod). For sure Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
3:
122
(And recall) when two groups from amongst you were on the verge of losing their
courage even when they knew they had the support of Allah's System.
3:
123
And Allah surely helped tem in the battle of Badr even though they were in a
miserable condition. Therefore, you should stay steadfast to the Laws of Allah,
so that your deeds are fruitful.
3:
124
When you said to the momenin, Is it not enough that Allah helps you with three
thousand Malaekah who would come down to strengthen your hearts.
3:
125
(Remember) if the confrontation becomes more severe the strength would be
increased to five thousand, who would come swooping down, provided you remain
steadfast and adhere to Allah's Laws.
3:
126
And (do know) that the change in the outward condition of the people depends
upon inward change. This inward change is as a consequence of unswerving
confidence and trust in the validity of Allah's Laws and is called the help of
Malikah in Koran's terminology.
3:
127
This help will disable a section of your adversaries and they will withdraw
from the battlefield, defeated.
3:
128-129 It
is not your concern to decide about their fate personally. The decision will be
made according to Allah's Law of Mukafat the law which is running the entire
universe and decides who should be protected and who should be punished. (And)
success in a war is defense against oppressive forces.
3:
130
O momenin! Do not accept an economic system which is based on Riba. You think
it incrases the fortune many folds but in reality it is decreased (for the
entire society). You should always be careful and follow Allah's Laws and this
is the way to prosperity and success.
3:
131
And guard yourself against the fire which awaits those who reject the truth.
3:
132
And adhere to the Divine order ascertained by the rasool so that you continue
to receive the means of nurture.
3:
133
Be quick to come under the guidance of your sustenance, which will lead you to
the Jannat, encompassing the entire universe and prepared for the mutakin.
3:
134
They help the needy whether they themselves are affluent or are in strained
circumstances. They channel their violent passions into constructive deeds and
their deeds are not dependent on how they are treated. Allah likes the
mohsenin.
3:
135
And by mistake if they commit an indecency or a wrong against their own-selves,
they immediately turn to the Divine Laws to make amends for the wrong they have
done. And who else save Allah's Laws can defend them against the adverse
consequences of their wrong doings. And they do not willingly follow a path of
wrong actions.
3:
136
(As for them) there is reward the protection from their Lord and a blissful
life wherein they will life. How excellent a recompense for those who work
for it!
3:
137
Indeed there are examples for you in the nations before you (who followed man
made systems). Do the research and find out for yourselves what has been the
end of those systems and the people who upheld them.
3:
138
This is a downright Manifesto for the humanity and a Guidance and Council for
the Mutakin.
3:
139
And neither loose heart nor be depressed, for you will gain ascendancy,
provided that you remain the true believers.
3:
140-141
If you have suffered a blow then (remember) you enemies had suffered just as
well. History will tell you that victories and losses alternate in the life of
nations. These trials on the other hand clarify those who truly believe and are
sincere to the truth. Those who fail (these sorts of) the tests will not be able
to survive.
3:
142
Do you think that you will gain (the life of) Jannat while you still have to
show which of you have struggled hard and have endured steadfastly?
3:
143
And certainly you desired death before coming face to face with it. And now that
you have faced it, you appear to be undecided.
3:
144
And Muhammad is nothing more than a rasool of Allah. Rasool who were before him
have already passed away. Hence, if he dies or is killed will you turn back
(from this course) regarding the system to be at its end? Whoever does so will
not harm Allah in any way. (But) Allah will reward those who remain firm out of
their conviction that the (Islamic) System does not revolve around
personalities and will survive for as long as the Book of Allah is followed.
3:
145
And everyone dies in (accordance of the physical laws of) Allah, which also fix
the duration of life. And whoever work only for this world, receives his
rewards and those who work for both this world and the Hereafter [see 3: 148]
will receive their rewards accordingly. Hence, those who stay steadfast (with
this course) will see the fruits (of their labors).
3:
146
And a great number of rasool fought (in the cause of the Islamic System)
alongside their companions. They did not loose heart because of what befell
them. Neither were they weaken nor were they give in. They remained steadfast.
3:
147
And their prayer was, O Our Rab! Give us protection against our shortcomings
or anything excessive in our deeds and make us remain steadfast and help us
against our adversaries.
3:
148
So Allah gave them the benedictions of this life and an even better reward in
the Hereafter because they lived a balanced life.
3:
149
O Momenin! If you (start to) follow the Kaferin they will turn you back to your
old ways and you will become the losers.
3:
150
Nay! Allah (alone) is your protector and He is the best of helpers.
3:
151
Those who follow anyone other than Allah, this (path) will create terrors (and
doubts) in their hearts (for example of their future, their children, etc.).
Allah has not issued any order to do such a thing. And their abode is fire and
despicable the abode of zalemin.
3:
152
And surely Allah's promise was being fulfilled when you were destroying your
enemy because you were in accordance with Allah's Laws that is until you
faltered and started quarrelling amongst yourselves about the orders. Some of
you disobeyed the orders (of your commander) being tempted by the material
gains of this world but there were those who stood steadfast for they desired
the Hereafter. As a result of this your attention turned towards booty, rather
than the enemies (on the battleground) and your own worth became visible.
However ultimately you were victorious (because you had realized your mistake
and turned back) and Allah had pardoned you (because of your repentance). And
Allah is Gracious to those who realize their mistake and come back to the right
course.
3:
153
When you were climbing (the hill) you were so flabbergasted that you did not
even pay any heed to the calls of your rasool who was calling you form your
rear. You were suffering one loss after the other (at that moment. You should
learn from this incident that) never on your own leave the assigned job even in
extreme adversity, stay steadfast and Allah is aware of what you do.
3:
154
Then the recovery from the setback brought calmness in the hearts of those who
had firm Eman. The munafekin on the other hand indulged into pagan ignorance
and flawed doubts against Allah.
These
people went so far that they said, Why should the decision of waging the war
be made by one person alone? Why dont we have a say in it? Answer them, These
decisions are made in accordance with the laws of Allah. Even if you had not
fought in the war, the momenin would have gone for the war without you.
This
way, what was hidden in the hearts of the munafekin was expressed by their actions.
And Allah is aware of what is hidden in the hearts.
3:
155
As for those who faltered on the day when the two armies met, they had not
turned away from Eman, but they had misjudged the priorities. Once they
realized their wrong and made good (of their actions to minimize any more
harm), Allah pardoned them. Surely Allah is Forbearing.
3:
156
O momenin! Dont be like those who say about their brethren who had gone on the
journey or engaged in the battle, Had they stayed with us they would not have
died and would not have been slain.
Such
a mentality makes one oblivious of the laws of life and death. And Allah sees
what you do.
3:
157-158
And if you are slain in a fight in the way of Allah or you die, surely you will
receive a reward greater than all the treasures of the world. Humanity's
caravan is proceeding towards its ultimate destination step by step.
3:
159
Your soft-heartedness is required for the progress of the momenin. Had you been
hard-hearted they would have dispersed away from you. Hence, pardon them of
their shortcomings and provide them with your protection. Consult them in
matters relating to your system and when you have reached at a decision,
putting your trust in Allah's Laws you should go ahead and surely Allah loves
those who put their trust in His Laws.
3:
160
If you follow this manner [see 3: 159] then no one can empower you and if you
stop following this then there will be no one who could help you. Therefore,
you should have confidence in Allah's Laws.
3:
161
And no doubt in the law can be attributed which has been revealed through a
rasool. It is not possible that a rasool would deceive. And (after the
establishment of the Islamic Society) those who had changed the revelations
their actions and the true revelations will become apparent. Then everyone will
be paid in full for whatever he has worked for and no one will be dealt unjustly.
3:
162
Those who follow Allah's course cannot be regarded as equal to those who do
not. Those who do not their destination will be hell and it is a vile
destination.
3:
163
(Those who follow Allah's Course) they will have a very high rank in the
evolution of humanity (because) Allah sees what they do.
3:
164
Surely Allah conferred his blessing on momenin when He raised a rasool from
within them who communicated His Laws to them purified and developed their
character and taught them the Book and its objectives. Before this they were in
the state of ignorance.
3:
165
(They ask,) "What? Whence was this defeat?" Tell them, "It was
brought on by your ownselves. Allah has devised the laws. Whoever adheres to
them succeeds and whoever rejects them suffers loss. And the loss you suffered
(at Ohod) was in accordance with these laws."
3:
166
And one good which came out of the defeat was the clear line appearing between
the momenin and the munafekin.
3:

And that the munafekin were known when they were asked, Come with us and fight
in the cause of Allah and defend youselves." But they stayed away (from
the battle). Now they say, "We were not certain if there will be a war or
not. And if we had been sre that there would be a war wee would have surely
accompanied you."
These
munafekin are liars. They are more towards kufr than towards Eman. What they
say is not what is in their hearts. And Allah knows very well what they hide.
3:
168
Those who stayed away from the battlefield said about those who went for the
fight, Had them accepted our advice they would not have been killed.
Ask
them, If you think you are true then show me how you can escape death
forever."
3:
169
And do not think of those who have died in the cause of Allah as dead. They are
actually alive and are with Allah and well provided with sustenance.
3:
170
(They are) rejoicing in what Allah has provided them out of His grace and glad
that because of their sacrifice those who have been left behind are free of
fear and anxiety.
3:
171
They rejoice at the blessings bestows upon them by Allah. They have seen that
Allah's promise to reward the momenin has surely been fulfilled.
3:
172
(As for) these, they are the ones who responded to the call of Islamic Order
even after they had received a setback. Whosoever stays steadfast to Allah's
Course will receive excellent rewards.
3:
173
Those to whom the people said, "Surely enemy has gathered enough strength
against you, and hence, you should be fearful."
But
this only strengthened their Eman and they said, For us Allah is enough who is
the best protector.
3:
174
So they returned with bounties and benedictions from Allah without any harm.
This is because they followed Allah's Laws who is of Infinite Bounty.
3:
175
It is only shaetan who causes others to be afraid of his party.
O
Momenin! You believe in Allah hence you need not to be afraid of shaetan's
group.
3:
176
And those people who hasten towards kufr, do not let it grieve you. They cannot
do any harm to Allah. By there tactics they may get some worthless gains but
they will not have any place in the Hereafter. For them grievous chastisement
awaits.
3:
177
Those who have bargained kufr in place of Eman cannot hurt Allah in any way and
painful punishment awaits them.
3:
178
And let not those who disbelieve that respite is beneficial to them. If they do
not correct their ways during this time period, the respite will simply add to
their torment and as a result their potential will weaken and for them is a disgraceful
punishment.
3:
179
On no account Allah will leave the momenin in this state forever (a state in
which a lot of different kinds of people joined the Islamic Movement including
the hypocrites). Surely Allah will separate out the Tayeb from the Khabis. He
will not disclose to you who is a hypocrite and who is not. He sometimes
discloses (somethings) to the rasool but he will not do so with regard to the
hypocrites [see 47: 29]. Therefore believe in the Islamic Order and remain
steadfast to Allah's Laws. Ultimately you will have a great reward.
3:
180
And those who confine the means of nurture to themselves and consider this
profitable for themselves, those who greedily detain what Allah has given them,
tell them that when the System of Rabobiat is established these same things
would be cleaved to their necks. They should know that everything in the
universe belongs to Allah and no one has the authority to claim its ownership.
3:
181
Allah has surely heard (your opponents saying), Your Allah is destitute and we
are lavish."
We
record what they say and we record what they do (for example) when they killed
some of the rasool which is very unjust. Because of this they will face severe
punishment.
3:
182
(They will be told,) "This is what you have prepared with your own
hands."
Allah
never does any zulm to his devotees.
3:
183
(Jews are the ones) who say, Allah has asked us not to believe in anyone's
Nabovat until he brings to us 'an offering which is consumed by fire'."
Reply
them, Many rasool before me came with clear signs (including the 'offereing
which is consumed by fire'). And according to you they also did what you are asking
me to do. But instead of believing them you tried to kill them. If your demands
were just then why did you treat your rasools in this manner?
3:
184
And if they reject you, then you should not be dishearten. The rasool who came
before you, they also had clear arguments, scriptures and illuminating Code of
life but they were also dishonored (by these people).
3:
185
Everyone will taste death and in the Hereafter will be fully rewarded for the
deeds carried out in this world. It is a great achievement to be saved from
going into Jahannam and succeeding into entering the Jannat. Making the
material gains the sole objective of life is like treasuring an illusion.
3:
186
You will surely have confrontations with your adversaries which will result in
the loss of your wealth and lives. You will also come across those who were
granted revelation before your time and the mushrekin (and the confrontations)
which will be painful on you. If you do not loose your ground and stay put with
Allah's Course it will reflect your high determination.
3:
187
And when Allah made a covenant with those who were given the book that they
will make it known to the humanity and will not hide it, they threw it behind
their backs. They formulated their own laws (shariat in Islam) because this way
they can get petty benefits. What a vile bargain they made!
3:
188
Do no think that the religious leaders and priests who love self-praise, love
to be applauded for what they preach but do not practice will only get the
petty benefits and applauses? In the Hereafter they will have a painful
chastisement.
3:
189
This announcement [see 3: 188] is from Allah whose kingdom consists of heavens
and earth and have devised measures for all things.
3:
190
Lo! In the creation of earth and heavens and the alternation of night and day
there are signs for those who (strive to) understand.
3:
191
These people [see 3: 190] keep Allah's Laws in mind no matter whether they are
standing, sitting or lying. After reflecting on the creation of heavens and
earth, they irresistibly say, O our Rab! You have not created this universe in
vain or for the destructive proposes. Your purpose for the creation is beyond
any flaws. Provide us the insight to understand the working of these things, so
that we can benefit from them and stay safe from any distress."
3:
192
(They pray) "O our Lord! Surely you can make it certain that our efforts
in this world are not wasted and those whose efforts are wasted, they lead a
fowl life and no one can help the zalemin."
3:
193
(They pray) "We hear the voice of a sightseer asking us to believe in you
and we believe. So our Sustainer, if we falter (from the right course) grant us
the protection and remove the ill-effects of our actions. Grant us the
friendship of those who have achieved the freedom because they followed your
laws."
3:
194
"O our Sustainer! Grant us all which you pledged us through your rasool
and do not disgrace us at the Day of Judgment. We have a firm belief that you
will not go back on your pledges."
3:
195
So their Sustainer accepted their prayer and replied, Surely I will not put to
waste the labor of anyone amongst you be that man or woman, you all are a part
of each other. Those of you who migrated or were driven out of their homes or
suffered in My Cause and those who fought and gave their lives, they all will
be defended against the ill-effects of their shortcomings and will gain a life
of gardens where streams (of happiness) flow."
This
is the reward from Allah who is the best recompense.
3:
196-197
Let not the prosperity of your adversaries deceive you. This thing is just like
an illusion for a very small period of time. After this is a Jahannam (of
destruction) awaiting them and this is a horrible destiny.
3:
198
On the other hand those who remain steadfast to Allah's Laws for them are (ever
lasting) gardens in which streams (of joyances) flow. They will live in there
with a welcome from their Rab. And this is what awaits for those who are indeed
righteous.
3:
199
And surely the Ahl-e-Kitab say that demurred for them but Allah's Law is such
that if they believe in Allah in what is revealed to you and what has been
disclosed to them and follow only Divine Laws and do not sell Allah's Laws for
petty benefits, they will be reward in accordance with their actions. Surely
Allah is quick in reckoning.
3:
200
O Momenin! Be patient and stay steadfast and help others to sand firm and
united follow Divine Laws so that you can prospers.
