Surah Al-E Imran | Chapter, The Family (Lineage) of Imran (Zackariah, Jacob, Maryam, Jesus)
3. Surah Al-E Imran | Chapter, The Family (Lineage) of Imran - copyright, Noble Quran by Muhsin Khan Translation
1. Alif-Lam-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur’an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings].
2. Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists.
3. It is He Who has sent down the Book (the Qur’an) to you (Muhammad ) with truth, confirming what came before it. And he sent down the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).
4. Aforetime, as a guidance to mankind, And He sent down the criterion [of judgement between right and wrong (this Qur’an)]. Truly, those who disbelieve in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, for them there is a severe torment; and Allah is All-Mighty, All-Able of Retribution.
5. Truly, nothing is hidden from Allah, in the earth or in the heavens.
6. He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He pleases. La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
7. It is He Who has sent down to you (Muhammad ) the Book (this Qur’an). In it are Verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book [and those are the Verses of Al-Ahkam (commandments, etc.), Al-Fara’id (obligatory duties) and Al-Hudud (legal laws for the punishment of thieves, adulterers, etc.)]; and others not entirely clear. So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking Al-Fitnah (polytheism and trials, etc.), and seeking for its hidden meanings, but none knows its hidden meanings save Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: “We believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear Verses) are from our Lord.” And none receive admonition except men of understanding. (Tafsir At-Tabari).
8. (They say): “Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from You. Truly, You are the Bestower.”
9. Our Lord! Verily, it is You Who will gather mankind together on the Day about which there is no doubt. Verily, Allah never breaks His Promise”.
10. Verily, those who disbelieve, neither their properties nor their offspring will avail them whatsoever against Allah; and it is they who will be fuel of the Fire.
11. Like the behaviour of the people of Fir’aun (Pharaoh) and those before them; they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), so Allah seized (destroyed) them for their sins. And Allah is Severe in punishment.
12. Say (O Muhammad ) to those who disbelieve: “You will be defeated and gathered together to Hell, and worst indeed is that place to rest.”
13. There has already been a sign for you (O Jews) in the two armies that met (in combat i.e. the battle of Badr): One was fighting in the Cause of Allah, and as for the other (they) were disbelievers. They (the believers) saw them (the disbelievers) with their own eyes twice their number (although they were thrice their number). And Allah supports with His Victory whom He pleases. Verily, in this is a lesson for those who understand. (See Verse 8:44). (Tafsir At-Tabari)
14. Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, much of gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle and well-tilled land. This is the pleasure of the present world’s life; but Allah has the excellent return (Paradise with flowing rivers, etc.) with Him.
15. Say: “Shall I inform you of things far better than those? For Al-Muttaqun (the pious – see V.2:2) there are Gardens (Paradise) with their Lord, underneath which rivers flow. Therein (is their) eternal (home) and Azwajun Mutahharatun (purified mates or wives) [i.e. they will have no menses, urine, or stool, etc.], And Allah will be pleased with them. And Allah is All-Seer of the (His) slaves”.
16. Those who say: “Our Lord! We have indeed believed, so forgive us our sins and save us from the punishment of the Fire.”
17. (They are) those who are patient ones, those who are true (in Faith, words, and deeds), and obedient with sincere devotion in worship to Allah. Those who spend [give the Zakat and alms in the Way of Allah] and those who pray and beg Allah’s Pardon in the last hours of the night.
18. Allah bears witness that La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), and the angels, and those having knowledge (also give this witness); (He is always) maintaining His creation in Justice. La ilah illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
19. Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam. Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, then surely, Allah is Swift in calling to account.
20. So if they dispute with you (Muhammad ) say: “I have submitted myself to Allah (in Islam), and (so have) those who follow me.” And say to those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and to those who are illiterates (Arab pagans): “Do you (also) submit yourselves (to Allah in Islam)?” If they do, they are rightly guided; but if they turn away, your duty is only to convey the Message; and Allah is All-Seer of (His ) slaves.
21. Verily! Those who disbelieve in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah and kill the Prophets without right, and kill those men who order just dealings, … announce to them a painful torment.
22. They are those whose works will be lost in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers.
23. Have you not seen those who have been given a portion of the Scripture? They are being invited to the Book of Allah to settle their dispute, then a party of them turn away, and they are averse.
24. This is because they say: “The Fire shall not touch us but for a number of days.” And that which they used to invent regarding their religion has deceived them.
25. How (will it be) when We gather them together on the Day about which there is no doubt (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). And each person will be paid in full what he has earned? And they will not be dealt with unjustly.
26. Say (O Muhammad ): “O Allah! Possessor of the kingdom, You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take the kingdom from whom You will, and You endue with honour whom You will, and You humiliate whom You will. In Your Hand is the good. Verily, You are Able to do all things.
27. You make the night to enter into the day, and You make the day to enter into the night (i.e. increase and decrease in the hours of the night and the day during winter and summer), You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give wealth and sustenance to whom You will, without limit (measure or account).
28. Let not the believers take the disbelievers as Auliya (supporters, helpers, etc.) instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allah in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allah warns you against Himself (His Punishment), and to Allah is the final return.
29. Say (O Muhammad ): “Whether you hide what is in your breasts or reveal it, Allah knows it, and He knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. And Allah is Able to do all things.”
30. On the Day when every person will be confronted with all the good he has done, and all the evil he has done, he will wish that there were a great distance between him and his evil. And Allah warns you against Himself (His Punishment) and Allah is full of Kindness to the (His) slaves.
31. Say (O Muhammad to mankind): “If you (really) love Allah then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Qur’an and the Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you of your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
32. Say (O Muhammad ): “Obey Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad ).” But if they turn away, then Allah does not like the disbelievers.
33. Allah chose Adam, Nuh (Noah), the family of Ibrahim (Abraham) and the family of ‘Imran above the ‘Alamin (mankind and jinns) (of their times).
34. Offspring, one of the other, and Allah is the All-Hearer, All-Knower.
35. (Remember) when the wife of ‘Imran said: “O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this, from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knowing.”
36. Then when she delivered her [child Maryam (Mary)], she said: “O my Lord! I have delivered a female child,” – and Allah knew better what she delivered, – “And the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam (Mary), and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and for her offspring from Shaitan (Satan), the outcast.”
37. So her Lord (Allah) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zakariya (Zachariya). Every time he entered Al-Mihrab to (visit) her , he found her supplied with sustenance. He said: “O Maryam (Mary)! From where have you got this?” She said, “This is from Allah.” Verily, Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit.”
38. At that time Zakariya (Zachariya) invoked his Lord, saying: “O my Lord! Grant me from You, a good offspring. You are indeed the All-Hearer of invocation.”
39. Then the angels called him, while he was standing in prayer in Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room), (saying): “Allah gives you glad tidings of Yahya (John), confirming (believing in) the Word from Allah [i.e. the creation of ‘Iesa (Jesus), the Word from Allah (“Be!” – and he was!)], noble, keeping away from sexual relations with women, a Prophet, from among the righteous.”
40. He said: “O my Lord! How can I have a son when I am very old, and my wife is barren?” Allah said: “Thus Allah does what He wills.”
41. He said: “O my Lord! Make a sign for me.” Allah said: “Your sign is that you shall not speak to mankind for three days except with signals. And remember your Lord much (by praising Him again and again), and glorify (Him) in the afternoon and in the morning.”
42. And (remember) when the angels said: “O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah has chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above the women of the ‘Alamin (mankind and jinns) (of her lifetime).”
43. O Mary! “Submit yourself with obedience to your Lord (Allah, by worshipping none but Him Alone) and prostrate yourself, and Irka’i (bow down etc.) along with Ar-Raki’un (those who bow down etc.).”
44. This is a part of the news of the Ghaib (unseen, i.e. the news of the past nations of which you have no knowledge) which We inspire you with (O Muhammad ). You were not with them, when they cast lots with their pens as to which of them should be charged with the care of Maryam (Mary); nor were you with them when they disputed.
3. La familia de Imran (Alí Emran)
Revelado después de Higrah (Hijra in Arabic/English Translation). Este capitulo tiene 200 versos.
​
¡En el nombre de Alá, el Compasivo, el Misericordioso!
1. `lm.
2. ¡Alá! No hay más dios que Él, el Viviente, el Subsistente.
3. Él te ha revelado la Escritura con la Verdad, en confirmación de los mensajes anteriores. Él ha revelado la Toro y el Evangelio
4. antes, como dirección para los hombres, y ha revelado el Criterio. Quienes no crean en los signos de Alá tendrán un castigo severo. Alá es poderoso, vengador.
5. No hay nada en la tierra ni en el cielo que se esconda de Alá.
6. Él es Quien os forma en el seno como quiere. No hay más dios que Él, el Poderoso, el Sabio.
7. Él es Quien te ha revelado la Escritura. Algunas de sus aleyas son unívocas y constituyen la Escritura Matriz; otras son equívocas. Los de corazón extraviado siguen las equívocas, por espíritu de discordia y por ganas de dar la interpretación de ello. Pero nadie sino Alá conoce la interpretación de ello. Los arraigados en la Ciencia dicen:«Creemos en ello. Todo procede de nuestro Señor». Pero no se dejan amonestar sino los dotados de intelecto.
8. ¡Señor! ¡No hagas que nuestros corazones se desvíen, después de habernos Tú dirigido! ¡Regálanos, de Ti, misericordia! Tú eres el Munífico.
9. ¡Señor! Tú eres quien va a reunir a los hombres para un día indubitable. Alá no falta a Su promesa.
10. A quienes no crean, ni su hacienda ni sus hijos les servirán de nada frente a Alá. Ésos servirán de combustible para el Fuego.
11. Como ocurrió con la gente de Faraón y con los que les precedieron: desmintieron Nuestros signos y Alá les castigó por sus pecados. Alá castiga severamente.
12. Di a quienes no creen: «Seréis vencidos y congregados hacia la gehena». ¡Qué mal lecho...!
13. Tuvisteis un signo en las dos tropas que se encontraron: la que combatía por Alá y la otra, infiel, que, a simple vista, creyó que aquélla le doblaba en número. Alá fortalece con Su auxilio a quien Él quiere. Sí, hay en ello motivo de reflexión para quienes tienen ojos.
14. El amor de lo apetecible aparece a los hombres engalanado: las mujeres, los hijos varones, el oro y la plata por quintales colmados, los caballos de raza, los rebaños los campos de cultivo... Eso es breve disfrute de la vida de acá. Pero Alá tiene junto a Sí un bello lugar de retorno.
15. Di: «¿Puedo informaros de algo mejor que eso?» Quienes teman a Alá encontrarán junto a su Señor jardines por cuyos bajos fluyen arroyos y en los que estarán eternamente, esposas purificadas y la satisfacción de Alá. Alá ve bien a Sus siervos,
16. que dicen: «¡Señor! ¡Nosotros creemos! ¡Perdónanos, pues, nuestros pecados y presérvanos del castigo del Fuego!»,
17. pacientes, sinceros, devotos, que practican la caridad y piden perdón al rayar el alba.
18. Alá atestigua, y con Él los ángeles y los hombres dotados de ciencia, que no hay más dios que Él, Que vela por la equidad. No hay más dios que Él, el Poderoso, el Sabio.
19. Ciertamente, la Religión, para Alá, es el islam. Aquéllos a quienes se dio la Escritura no se opusieron unos a otros, por rebeldía mutua, sino después de haber recibido la Ciencia. Quien no cree en los signos de Alá,... Alá es rápido en ajustar cuentas.
20. Si disputan contigo, di: «Yo me someto a Alá y lo mismo hacen quienes me siguen». Y di a quienes recibieron la Escritura y a quienes no la recibieron. «¿Os convertís al islam?», Si se convierten , están bien dirigidos; si vuelven la espalda, a ti sólo te incumbe la transmisión. Alá ve bien a Sus siervos.
21. Anuncia un castigo doloroso a quienes no creen en los signos de Alá, matan a los profetas sin justificación y matan a los hombres que ordenan la equidad.
22. Ésos son aquéllos cuyas obras son vanas en la vida de acá y en la otra y no tendrán quienes les auxilien.
23. ¿No has visto a quienes han recibido una porción de la Escritura ? Se les invita a que acepten la Escritura de Alá para que decida entre ellos, pero algunos vuelven la espalda y se van.
24. Es que han dicho: «El fuego no nos tocará más que por días contados». Sus propias mentiras les han engañado en su religión.
25. ¿Qué pasará cuando les reunamos para un día indubitable y cada uno reciba su merecido? Y no serán tratados injustamente.
26. Di: «¡Oh, Alá, Dueño del dominio! Tú das el dominio a quien quieres y se lo retiras a quien quieres, exaltas a quien quieres y humillas a quien quieres. En Tu mano está el bien. Eres omnipotente.
27. Tú haces que la noche entre en el día y que el día entre en la noche. Tú sacas al vivo del muerto y al muerto del vivo. Tú provees sin medida a quien quieres».
28. Que no tomen los creyentes como amigos a los infieles en lugar de tomar a los creyentes -quien obre así notendrá ninguna participación en Alá-, a menos quetengáis algo que temer de ellos. Al á os advierte quetengáis cuidado con Él. ¡Alá es el fin de todo!
29. Di: «Lo mismo si escondéis lo que tenéis en vuestros pechos que si lo manifestáis, Alá lo conoce». Y conoce lo que está en los cielos y en la tierra. Alá es omnipotente.
30. El día que cada uno se encuentre frente al bien y el mal que ha hecho, deseará tener bien lejos ese día. Alá advierte que tengáis cuidado con Él. Alá es manso con Sus siervos.
31. Di: «Si amáis a Alá ,¡seguidme! Alá os amará y os perdonará vuestros pecados. Alá es indulgente, misericordioso».
32. Di: «¡Obedeced a Alá y al Enviado!»Si vuelven la espalda,... Alá no ama a los infieles.
33. Alá ha escogido a Adán, a Noé, a la familia de Abraham y a la de Imran por encima de todos.
34. Como descendientes unos de otros. Alá todo lo oye. todo lo sabe.
35. Cuando la mujer de Imran dijo: «¡Señor! Te ofrezco en voto, a Tu exclusivo servicio, lo que hay en mi seno. ¡Acéptamelo! Tú eres Quien todo lo oye, Quien todo lo sabe».
36. Y cuando dio a luz a una hija, dijo:«¡Señor! Lo que he dado a luz es una hembra -bien sabía Alá lo que había dado a luz- y un varón no es igual que una hembra. Le he puesto por nombre María y la pongo bajo Tu protección contra el maldito Demonio, y también a su descendencia».
37. Su Señor la acogió favorablemente, la hizo crecer bien y la confió a Zacarías. Siempre que Zacarías entraba en el Templo para verla, encontraba sustento junto a ella. Decía:«María!, ¿de dónde te viene eso?» Decía ella:«De Alá. Alá provee sin medida a quien Él quiere».
38. Entonces, Zacarías invocó a su Señor diciendo: «¡Señor! ¡Regálame, de Ti, una descendencia buena! Tú escuchas a quien Te invoca».
39. Los ángeles le llamron cuando, de pie, oraba en el Templo: «Alá te anuncia la buena nueva de Juan, en confirmación de una Palabra que procede de Alá, y que será jefe, abstinente, profeta, de l os justos».
40. «¡Señor!» dijo, «¿cómo puedo tener un muchacho si soy ya viejo y mi mujer estéril?» Dijo:«Así será. Alá hace lo que Él quiere».
41. Dijo: «¡Señor! ¡Dame un signo!»Dijo. «Tu signo será que no podrás hablar a la gente durante tres días sino por señas. Recuerda mucho a tu Señor y glorifícale, al anochecer y al alba».
42. Y cuando los ángeles dijeron:«¡María! Alá te ha escogido y purificado. Te ha escogido entre todas las mujeres del universo.
43. ¡María! ¡Ten devoción a tu Señor, prostérnate e inclínate con los que se inclinan!»
44. Esto forma parte de las historias referentes a lo oculto, que Nosotros te revelamos. Tú no estabas con ellos cuando echaban suertes con sus cañas para ver quién de ellos iba a encargarse de María. Tú no estabas con ellos cuando disputaban.
