As in Sürah Al-Baqarah, the Jews were invited to accept the guidance. Similarly, in this Sürah, the Christians are
admonished to give up their erroneous beliefs and accept the guidance of the Qur'an. At the same time, the Muslims
are instructed to nourish the virtues that may enable them to carry out their obligation of spreading the Divine
guidance.

The believers had met with all sorts of trials and hardships about which they were forewarned in Sürah Al-Baqarah.
Though they had come out victorious in the Battle of Badr, they were not out of danger yet. Their victory had aroused
the enmity of all those powers in Arabia which were opposed to the Islamic movement. Threatening events had
begun to appear on all sides and the Muslims were in a perpetual state of fear and anxiety. This state of emergency
was also adversely affecting its economy which had already been badly disturbed by the influx of Muslim refugees
from other places.

The Jewish clans, who lived in the suburbs of Al-Madinah, started discarding the treaties of alliance which they had
made with the Prophet at his arrival from Makkah. They had discarded the treaties to the extent that during the Battle
of Badr, these "People of the Book" sided with the mushrik Qureysh (in spite of the fact that their fundamental Articles
of Faith - such as Oneness of Allah, Prophethood and life after death - were the same as those of the Muslims). After
the Battle of Badr, they openly began to approach various Arab clans against the Muslims. The magnitude of the peril
may be judged from the fact that even the life of the Prophet himself was always in danger. His Companions used to
sleep in their armor and keep watch at night to guard against any sudden attack. Whenever the Prophet happened to
be out of sight even for a short while, they would at once set out in search of him.

Jews even approached the Qureysh and challenged their ego to avenge the defeat they had suffered at Badr and
promised to help them from within. As a result the Qureysh marched against Al-Madinah with an army of 3000
warriors and a battle took place at the foot of mount Uhud. The Prophet started out of Al-Madinah with one thousand
men to fight the enemy. While they were marching to the battlefield, three hundred hypocrites deserted the army and
returned to Al- Madinah to discourage the believers. A small band of hypocrites, however, remained among the seven
hundred who accompanied the Prophet. They played their part and did their best to create mischief and chaos in the
ranks of the Believers during the battle. This was the first clear indication of the fact that within the fold of the Muslim
community there was quite a large number of saboteurs who were always ready to conspire with the external
enemies to harm their own brethren.

These devices of the hypocrites played a major role in the setback at Uhud, even though the weaknesses of the
Muslims also contributed to it. The Muslims were a new community, formed on a new ideology and had not as yet
gotten thorough moral training. Naturally in this second hard test of their physical and moral strength, some
weaknesses came to the surface. That is why a detailed critical review of the Battle of Uhud is made in this Sürah
which was needed to warn the Muslims of their shortcomings and to issue instructions for their reform.

In the name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Merciful

SECTION: 1
Alif L'ãm M'ïm[1]
Allah! There is no god but Him; the Living, the Eternal.[2] He has
revealed to you this Book with the Truth, confirming the scripture It is Allah Who has revealed
which preceded it, as He revealed the Taurãt (Torah) and Injeel Torah, Gospel and Qur'an
(Gospel),[3] before this, as a guidance for mankind and also revealed
this Al-Furqãn (criterion for judgment between right and wrong ).
Surely those who reject Allah’s revelations will be sternly punished;
Allah is Mighty, capable of retribution.[4] For sure nothing in the earth
or in the heavens is hidden from Allah.[5] It is He Who shapes your
bodies in the wombs of your mothers as He pleases. There is no god
but Him; the Mighty, the Wise.[6]

3:[1-6]

He is the One Who has revealed to you the Book. Some of its verses are Qur'an's decisive vs.
decisive - they are the foundation of the Book - while others are allegorical verses
allegorical. Those whose hearts are infected with disbelief follow the
allegorical part to mislead others and to give it their own
interpretation, seeking for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its
hidden meanings except Allah. Those who are well grounded in Supplication of the believers
knowledge say: “We believe in it; it is all from our Rabb." None will take to remain steadfast upon
heed except the people of understanding.[7] They say: "Our Rabb, do belief
not let our hearts deviate from the truth after you have guided us, and
grant us Your own mercy; You are the Grantor of bounties without
measure.[8] Our Rabb, You will surely gather all mankind before You
on the Day about which there is no doubt; surely Allah does not break
His promise."[9]

3:[7-9]

SECTION: 2 Wealth or children will not

Surely neither their wealth nor their children will save the unbelievers be a defense against
from the wrath of Allah: they are the ones who will become the fuel for disbelief
hellfire.[10] Their end will be the same as that of the people of Fir‘on
(Pharaoh) and their predecessors who denied Our revelations, so Allah Battle of Badr was a sign of
called them to account for their sins. Allah is strict in retribution.[11] Allah's favors
O Muhammad, say to the unbelievers: “Soon you will be overpowered
and driven together to Hell - which is a horrible refuge.[12] Indeed
there was a sign (lesson) for you in the two armies which met on the
battlefield (of Badr): one was fighting for the cause of Allah and the
other had rejected Allah; the believers saw with their own eyes that the
unbelievers were twice their number. But the result of the battle
proved that Allah strengthens with His own aid whom He pleases.
Surely there is a lesson in this for those who have sight.[13]

3:[10-13]

The life of men is tempted by love and desire for women, children, the Comforts of this life vs. the
hoarding of treasures of gold and silver, branded horses, wealth of life in the hereafter
cattle and plantations. These are the comforts for the transitory life of
this world; the everlasting best comfort, however, is with Allah.[14] Say
: “Shall I tell you of better things than these, with which the righteous
will be rewarded by their Rabb? There will be gardens beneath which
rivers flow, where they will live forever with spouses of perfect chastity
and the good pleasure of Allah. Allah is watching His servants very
closely."[15] The righteous people are those who pray: “Our Rabb! We
sincerely believe in You: please forgive our sins and save us from the
agony of the hellfire;”[16] who are steadfast, sincere, obedient, and
charitable, and who pray for forgiveness in the morning time.[17]

SECTION: 13 Lessons from the Battle of

O Muhammad, remember that morning when you left your household Uhud
at an early hour to assign the believers to their battle-posts ( in the
Battle of Uhud): Allah hears and knows everything.[121] Remember
when two of your companies became fainthearted and Allah protected
them through strengthening their hearts. In Allah should the believers
put their trust.[122] Allah helped you at the Battle of Badr when you
were helpless. Therefore, have fear of Allah; perhaps you may become Allah's help to the believers
thankful.[123] Remember when you said to the believers, "Is it not
enough that Allah should send down three thousand angels to help
you?"[124] Of course! If you remain patient and on your guard, Allah Prophet does not have the
will send to your aid not three thousand but, five thousand specially authority to pardon the
marked angels in case of a sudden attack from the enemy.[125] Allah sinners
has told you this as good news and that your hearts may be at ease
thereby; victory comes only from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.[126]
(Allah sent the aid of Angels for the believers to offset the aid of
shaitãns to the unbelievers) so that He might cut off a flank of the
unbelievers or put them to flight, making them withdraw with utter
disappointment.[127] O Prophet, you have no authority to decide the
affair; it is up to Allah whether He pardon or punish them since they
are wrongdoers.[128] To Allah belongs all that is in the Heavens and in
the earth. He pardons whom He pleases and punishes whom He
pleases. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.[129]

SECTION: 14

unbelievers.[131] Obey Allah and His Rasool so that you may find
mercy.[132] Rush towards the forgiveness from your Rabb to a Allah loves charitable people
paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth which is prepared for the
righteous people;[133] they are those who spend generously in the
Way of Allah, whether they are in prosperity or in adversity, who
control their anger and forgive other people for Allah loves such
charitable people,[134] who, if they commit an indecency or wrong
their own souls, earnestly remember Allah and seek forgiveness for
their sins; for no one can forgive sins except Allah, and those who do
not knowingly persist in something wrong which they have done.[135]
Such people will be rewarded with forgiveness from their Rabb beside
gardens beneath which rivers flow, to live therein forever. How
excellent is the reward for such laborers![136]

3:[130-136]

As for those who rejected the Divine Revelations, there have been Believers are promised to
many examples before you. Travel through the earth and see what was have upper hand
the end of those who rejected the truth.[137] This (The Qur'an) is a
clear declaration to mankind, a guidance and an admonition to those
who fear Allah![138] Do not grieve and get disheartened: for you will
have the upper hand if you are the believers.[139] If you have suffered
a wound, so did the enemy. We alternate these days of varying
fortunes among mankind so that Allah may know the true believers
and take witnesses to the truth (grant martyrdom) from among you,
for Allah does not love the unjust people,[140] and that Allah may
purge the believers and annihilate the unbelievers.[141]

3:[137-141]

Do you think that you will enter paradise without going through the No paradise without trial
trial? Allah has not yet tested you to see who among you strive hard
for His cause and show patience for His sake.[142] You certainly used
to wish for death before you confronted it; now you have seen with
your own eyes what it is like.[143]

3:[142-143]

SECTION: 15
Muhammad is no more than a Rasool of Allah, like the Rasools that
passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you turn back on Muhammad (pbuh) is no
your heels (become unbelievers)? He that turns back on his heels will more than a Rasool of Allah
do no harm to Allah; but Allah will reward the thankful.[144] No one
dies without the permission of Allah. The term of every life is fixed. He
that desires the reward in this world shall be given it here, and he that
desires the reward in the hereafter shall be given it there. Soon We will
reward the thankful.[145]

3:[144-145]

In the past, many Prophets have fought, in the Way of Allah, with a Prophets and their followers
large number of godly people. They did not lose heart during the
adversities that befell them in the path of Allah; they neither showed
weakness nor submitted to falsehood. Allah loves the steadfast.[146] Supplication of the believers
Their only words were, “Our Rabb! Forgive our sins and our excesses;
establish our feet firmly and give us victory over the unbelievers."[147]
Therefore, Allah gave them the reward in this world and also an
excellent reward awaits them in the Hereafter. Allah loves the
righteous who are good to others.[148]

SECTION: 16
O believers! If you yield to the unbelievers they will drag you back to Do not follow the
unbelief and you will become the losers.[149] The fact is that Allah is unbelievers
your Protector and He is the best of all helpers.[150] Soon We shall
cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers for they commit shirk
with Allah, for whom He has revealed no authority. The hellfire shall be
their home; and evil is the home of the wrongdoers.[151]

3:[149-151]

Allah did indeed fulfill His promise to you when, with His leave, you The result of disobeying the
defeated them until you flinched and fell into dispute about the order Rasool
and disobeyed the Prophet, after Allah had brought within your sight
the booty which you loved. Among you there were some who desired
the gain of this world and some who desired the gain of the Hereafter.
He allowed you to be defeated in order to test you, but now He has
forgiven you, for Allah is gracious to the believers.[152] Remember
how you fled in panic and did not even look back at one another while
the Rasool, at your rear, was calling out to you! Consequently, Allah
inflicted upon you one sorrow after another to teach you a lesson; not
to grieve for what you lose nor at any misfortune you may encounter.
Allah is well aware of all that you do.[153]

3:[152-153]

Then, after this grief, He bestowed peace on some of you - a slumber After grief, Allah bestowed
which overcame them - while the others were stirred to anxiety by peace
their own fancies, holding unjust and wrong suspicions about Allah,
the suspicions of ignorance. Now they ask: “Have we any say in the
matter?” Tell them: “All matters are in the hands of Allah." They hide in
their minds what they dare not reveal to you. They mean to say: “If we There is no escape from
had any say in the matter, none of us would have been killed here." death
Say to them: “Even if you had remained in your homes, those of you
who were destined to be killed would nevertheless have been killed;
but it was Allah’s will to test your faith and purge what was in your
hearts. Allah has knowledge of the secrets of your hearts."[154] As for
those of you who turned their backs on the day when the two armies
met, they failed in their duty because they were seduced by Shaitãn on
account of some of their shortcomings. But now Allah has pardoned
them; for Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.[155]
 3:[154-155]

SECTION: 17 Life and death is from Allah

O believers! Do not be like the unbelievers who speak of those
brethren of theirs who die during their travels on the earth or while
engaged in fighting: “Had they but stayed with us they would not have
died or been killed." Allah makes such thinking a cause of regret and
anguish in their hearts. It is Allah who gives life and death. Allah is
observant of all your actions.[156] If you should die or get killed in the
cause of Allah, His forgiveness and mercy will be far better than all the
riches you could gather.[157] Whether you die or get killed, all of you
will be brought before Allah.[158]

you. Therefore pardon them and ask Allah’s forgiveness for them. made then be firm
Consult them in the conduct of affairs; and when you make a decision
to do something, then put your trust in Allah (hold fast to your
decision). Allah loves those who put their trust in Him.[159]

3:[159]

If Allah helps you, then there is none who can overcome you. If He Put your trust in Allah
forsakes you, then who else is there other than Him who can help you?
Therefore, in Allah let the believers put their trust.[160] It is not
conceivable that any Prophet would hold back from the spoils of war;
for anyone who holds back shall bring along whatever he has been
withholding on the Day of Resurrection; then every soul shall be paid
back in full what it has earned and they shall not be dealt with
unjustly.[161]

3:[160-161]
Verses 162-180

next »

Can it be conceivable that a person who is seeking the good pleasure Dignity of the Rasool
of Allah will behave like the one who has incurred the wrath of Allah
and is ultimately doomed to Hell, which is an evil refuge?[162] These
two kinds of people have quite different levels in the sight of Allah;
Allah is observant of all their actions.[163] Allah has done a great favor
to the believers that He raised among them a Rasool from among
themselves, reciting to them the Revelations of Allah, sanctifying them
and teaching them the Book and Wisdom, although before this they
were in manifest error.[164]

3:[162-164]

How is it that when you are afflicted with a loss, after you yourselves Lessons to be learned from
had inflicted losses twice as heavy upon your enemy in the Battle of the Battle of Uhud
Badr, you exclaimed: “Whose fault was that?” Say to them: “It was your
own fault," Allah has power over everything.[165] The misfortune
which befell you when the two armies met in the Battle of Uhud was
with the leave of Allah so that He might know the true believers[166]
and the hypocrites. When it was said to them (hypocrites): “Come fight
for the cause of Allah or at least defend yourselves,” they replied: “Had
we known how to fight we would certainly come with you." On that day Those who are slain in the
they were nearer to unbelief than to belief; for they uttered with their cause of Allah are not dead
mouths what was not in their hearts. Allah is quite aware of what they
were concealing.[167] Such are the ones who, as they sat at home,
said of their brothers: “Had they listened to us, they would not have
been killed." Ask them: “Avert death from your own selves, when it
comes to you, if you speak the truth."[168] Never think of those who
are slain in the cause of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive, and well
provided for by their Rabb;[169] they are pleased with what Allah has
given them and they are also happy to think that there is nothing to
fear or to regret for those believers whom they have left behind and
who have not yet joined them in their bliss.[170] They feel happy to
have received Allah's grace and bounty and have come to know that
most surely Allah does not waste the reward of the believers.[171]

3:[165-171]

SECTION: 18 Character of the believers at

As for those, who, even after their injuries during the Battle of Uhud, Uhud
responded to the call of Allah and His Rasool to follow the Qureysh
army which was gathering to attack again, there will be a great reward
for such of those who do righteous deeds and refrain from evil,[172]
and who, when the people told them: “Your enemies have mustered a
great force against you: fear them,” grew more firm in their faith and
replied: “Allah’s help is all-sufficient for us. He is the best
protector."[173] As a result, they returned home with blessings and
grace from Allah and suffered no harm at all. Besides this, they had
the honor of following what pleased Allah, and Allah is the Owner of
mighty grace.[174] Now you must have realized that it was the Shaitãn
who was trying to prompt you to fear his followers. But have no fear of
them. Fear Me, if you are true believers.[175]

3:[172-175]

O Muhammad, let not those who rush headlong into unbelief grieve Punishment for bartering
you; surely they can do absolutely no harm to Allah. Allah intends to belief for unbelief
give them no share in the Hereafter. They shall have a grievous
punishment.[176] Those who barter away faith for unbelief will in no
way harm Allah. They shall have a painful punishment.[177] Let not the
unbelievers think that Our granting of respite is good for their souls.
We grant them respite so that they may add more to their sins. They
shall have a disgraceful punishment.[178]

3:[176-178]

Allah will not leave the believers in their present condition; you are in Adverse conditions are a
this condition only until He separates the Evil from the Good. Allah will test from Allah
not do this by disclosing to you the secrets of the unseen. As for
disclosing the unseen, Allah chooses those of his Rasools whom He
pleases. Therefore, believe in Allah and His Rasool. If you have faith
and guard yourselves against evil, you shall have a great reward.[179]

3:[179]

Let not those who are stingy in giving for charity from what Allah has Punishment for the stingy
blessed them with, think that it is good for them: nay it is very bad for
them. All the wealth they hoarded with stingy behavior will be hung
around their necks like a collar on the Day of Resurrection. It is Allah
who will inherit the heavens and the earth. Allah is well aware of all
your actions.[180]

Testimony of Allah about

Allah Himself has testified to the fact that there is no god but Him Himself.
and so do the angels and those who are well grounded in
knowledge standing firm on justice. There is no Ilah (God) except
Him, the Mighty, the Wise.[18] Surely the only Deen ( true religion True religion in the sight
and the Right Way of life) in the sight of Allah is Al-Islam. Those to of Allah is only Al-Islam
whom the Book was given did not adopt ways different than this
except out of envy among themselves, and after true knowledge
had come to them. They should know that Allah is swift in calling
to account those who deny His revelations.[19] So if they argue
with you (O Muhammad), tell them: “I have submitted myself
entirely to Allah and so have those who follow me." Then ask those
who are given the Book and those who are illiterate: “Will you also
submit yourselves to Allah?” If they become Muslims they shall be
rightly guided but if they turn back, you need not worry, because
your sole responsibility is to convey the Message. Allah is watching
all His servants very closely.[20]

3:[18-20]

SECTION: 3 Give a warning to those who deny Allah’s revelations, Warning of a painful
who slay the Prophets without any justification, and who kill those punishment for disbelief
from among the people who enjoin justice, that there is a painful
punishment for them.[21] They are the ones whose deeds will
become void in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have
no helpers.[22] Have you not seen the behavior of those (Jews) who Jews and Christians are
have been given a portion of the Book? When they are invited to being deceived by their
settle their disputes according to the Book of Allah, some of them own self- invented beliefs
turn back and decline.[23] This is because they say: “The fire of
Hell shall not touch us; even if it does, it will be for a few days." In
their religion they are deceived by their own self-invented beliefs.
[24] What will they do when We will gather them together on the
Day which is sure to come, when every soul will be given what it
has earned and there shall be no injustice?[25]

3:[21-25]

Say: “O Allah! Master of all the Kingship, You give the kingdom to It is Allah Who gives or
whom You please and take away the kingdom from whomsoever takes away the kingdom
You please; You give honor to whom You please and disgrace and honor
whom You please; all the good is in Your hand; surely You have
power over everything.[26] You cause the night to pass into the
day and You cause the day to pass into the night; You draw the
living from the dead and You draw the dead from the living; and
You provide sustenance for anyone You wish without measure."[27]

3:[26-27]

Let not the believers make unbelievers their protectors rather than Prohibition of taking
the believers; anyone who does so will have nothing to hope for disbelievers as protectors
from Allah - except if you do so as a precaution to guard
yourselves against their tyranny. Anyhow, Allah warns you to fear
Him: because with Allah is your final refuge.[28] Say: “Whether you
conceal what is in your heart or reveal it, it is known to Allah.[29]
He knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth.
Allah has full power over everything. On the Day of Judgment,
when every soul will be confronted with whatever good it has done
- as for its evil deeds, it will wish they were a long way off. Allah
cautions you to beware of Him. Allah is full of kindness towards His
devotees.[30]

3:[28-30]

SECTION: 4
Tell the people O Muhammad: “If you sincerely love Allah, then
follow me; Allah will also love you and forgive you your sins. Allah
is Forgiving, Merciful.”[31] Also tell them, "Obey Allah and His Commandment to obey
Rasool." Inspite of this, if they turn back, then warn them, that and follow the Prophet
Allah does not love the disbelievers.[32]

3:[31-32]

Indeed Allah exalted Adam, Nüh (Noah), the family of Ibrãhïm

(Abraham) and the family of Imrãn above all the worlds.[33] They
were the offsprings of one another. Allah hears all and knows all. Adam, Noah, the families
[34] of Ibrãhïm and Imrãn were
exalted

SECTION: 19
Allah has heard the statement of those who said: “ Allah is poor and The Jews insulted Allah and
we are rich!” Their words are recorded and so is their unjust killings of uttered a lie against Him
the Prophets." On the Day of Judgment, We shall say: “Taste now the
torment of burning![181] Here is the reward of your misdeeds. Allah is
not unjust to His servants." [182] They also claim: “Allah has
commanded us to believe in no Rasool unless he shows us a sacrifice
consumed by a fire from the Heaven." Ask them: “Other prophets
before me have come to you with clear arguments and showed this
miracle you are asking for. Why did you kill them if what you say is
true?"[183] O Muhammad if they reject you by calling you an impostor,
so did they reject other Rasools before you, although they brought
them clear signs, Psalms, and the enlightening Book.[184]

3:[181-184]

Every soul shall taste death. You shall receive your full reward for Everyone has to die
everything which you have striven for on the Day of Resurrection.
Whoever is spared from the fire and is admitted into paradise will have
attained the objective of this worldly life; for the life of this world is
nothing but an illusory enjoyment.[185]

3:[185]

You shall certainly be tested through your wealth and with your Test of the believers
persons; and you will certainly hear much that is hurtful from those
who were given the Book before you, and from the Mushrikïn. But if
you endure with patience and have fear of Allah, this will surely be a
proof of your firm determination.[186]

3:[186]

When Allah made the covenant with those who were given the Book, Punishment for claiming
they were asked to spread the teachings of the Book to mankind and credit for something you
not to conceal them; but they cast it behind their backs and sold them have not done
for a petty price. What a bad bargain they made![187] Those who
rejoice in their misdeeds and wish to be praised for what they have not
actually done, should never think that they will escape the
punishment; in fact they shall have a painful punishment;[188] for all
the dominions of the Heavens and the earth belong to Allah Who has
power over everything.[189]

3:[187-189]

SECTION: 20 Signs from nature

For sure, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the
alternation of the night and the day there are signs for men of
understanding.[190] Those who remember Allah while standing,
sitting, and lying on their sides, and meditate on the creation of the Supplication of the believers
heavens and the earth, then cry out:“ Our Rabb! You have not created
this in vain. Glory to You! Save us from the punishment of Fire.[191]
Our Rabb! Those whom You cast into the Fire will be in eternal shame:
and there shall be no helper for such wrongdoers.[192] Our Rabb! We
have heard someone calling to the true faith saying; 'Believe in your
Rabb,' so we have believed. Our Rabb! Forgive us our sins, remove
from us our evil deeds and make us die with the righteous.[193] Our
Rabb! Grant us what You have promised through Your Rasools and
save us from the shame on the Day of Resurrection; for You never
break Your promise."[194]

3:[190-194]

So their Rabb answers their prayers, saying: “ I will not let the good Acceptance of supplication
deed of any worker among you, whether a male or a female, be by Allah
wasted. You are the offspring of one another. Those who had to leave
their homes or were expelled therefrom, and those who suffered
persecution for My sake and fought and were killed: I will forgive them
their sins and admit them into gardens beneath which the rivers flow;
a prize from Allah, and Allah holds the finest prize!”[195]
