Surah Aal Imraan Recitation, Translation, and Tafseer - The Holy Quran

3:81

وَ اِذْ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ مِیْثَاقَ النَّبِیّٖنَ لَمَاۤ اٰتَیْتُكُمْ مِّنْ كِتٰبٍ وَّ حِكْمَةٍ ثُمَّ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ مُّصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَكُمْ لَتُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهٖ وَ لَتَنْصُرُنَّهٗؕ-قَالَ ءَاَقْرَرْتُمْ وَ اَخَذْتُمْ عَلٰى ذٰلِكُمْ اِصْرِیْؕ-قَالُوْۤا اَقْرَرْنَاؕ-قَالَ فَاشْهَدُوْا وَ اَنَا مَعَكُمْ مِّنَ الشّٰهِدِیْنَ(۸۱)

Remember when God covenanted the prophets (and said): "If after I have given you the Law and the judgement there comes an apostle to you who confirms the truth already with you, you will surely believe him and help him;" and asked: "Do you accept and agree to the terms of My covenant?" They said: "We accept." "Then you be witness," said God, "and I shall be witness with you.

Behold! Allah took the covenant of the prophets, saying: "I give you a Book and Wisdom; then comes to you a messenger, confirming what is with you; do ye believe in him and render him help." Allah said: "Do ye agree, and take this my Covenant as binding on you?" They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses."

3:82

فَمَنْ تَوَلّٰى بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ(۸۲)

Then any one who turns away will be a transgressor."

If any turn back after this, they are perverted transgressors.

3:83

اَفَغَیْرَ دِیْنِ اللّٰهِ یَبْغُوْنَ وَ لَهٗۤ اَسْلَمَ مَنْ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ طَوْعًا وَّ كَرْهًا وَّ اِلَیْهِ یُرْجَعُوْنَ(۸۳)

Do they seek another way than God´s? But whosoever is in the heavens and the earth is submissive to God and obedient (to Him), by choice or constraint, and will be returned to Him.

Do they seek for other than the Religion of Allah?-while all creatures in the heavens and on earth have, willing or unwilling, bowed to His Will (Accepted Islam), and to Him shall they all be brought back.

3:84

قُلْ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَ مَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْنَا وَ مَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلٰۤى اِبْرٰهِیْمَ وَ اِسْمٰعِیْلَ وَ اِسْحٰقَ وَ یَعْقُوْبَ وَ الْاَسْبَاطِ وَ مَاۤ اُوْتِیَ مُوْسٰى وَ عِیْسٰى وَ النَّبِیُّوْنَ مِنْ رَّبِّهِمْ۪-لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَیْنَ اَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ٘-وَ نَحْنُ لَهٗ مُسْلِمُوْنَ(۸۴)

Say: "We believe in God, and in what has been revealed to us, and in what had been sent down to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and their offspring, and what had been revealed to Moses and to Jesus and to all other prophets by their Lord. We make no distinction between them, and we submit to Him and obey."

Say: "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam)."

3:85

وَ مَنْ یَّبْتَغِ غَیْرَ الْاِسْلَامِ دِیْنًا فَلَنْ یُّقْبَلَ مِنْهُۚ-وَ هُوَ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ(۸۵)

And whoever seeks a way other than submission to God, it will not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the world to come.

If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good).

3:86

كَیْفَ یَهْدِی اللّٰهُ قَوْمًا كَفَرُوْا بَعْدَ اِیْمَانِهِمْ وَ شَهِدُوْۤا اَنَّ الرَّسُوْلَ حَقٌّ وَّ جَآءَهُمُ الْبَیِّنٰتُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(۸۶)

How can God show the way to those who, having come to faith, turned away, even though they had borne witness that the Messenger was true, and the clear signs had reached them? God does not show the unrighteous the way.

How shall Allah Guide those who reject Faith after they accepted it and bore witness that the Messenger was true and that Clear Signs had come unto them? but Allah guides not a people unjust.

3:87

اُولٰٓىٕكَ جَزَآؤُهُمْ اَنَّ عَلَیْهِمْ لَعْنَةَ اللّٰهِ وَ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةِ وَ النَّاسِ اَجْمَعِیْنَۙ(۸۷)

For such the requital is the curse of God and the angels and of men.

Of such the reward is that on them (rests) the curse of Allah, of His angels, and of all mankind;-

3:88

خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۚ-لَا یُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَ لَا هُمْ یُنْظَرُوْنَۙ(۸۸)

They shall live under it, and none of their agony decrease nor be respite for them.

In that will they dwell; nor will their penalty be lightened, nor respite be (their lot);-

3:89

اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ تَابُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ وَ اَصْلَحُوْا۫-فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۸۹)

But those who repent and reform, God is surely forgiving and merciful.

Except for those that repent (Even) after that, and make amends; for verily Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

3:90

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بَعْدَ اِیْمَانِهِمْ ثُمَّ ازْدَادُوْا كُفْرًا لَّنْ تُقْبَلَ تَوْبَتُهُمْۚ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الضَّآلُّوْنَ(۹۰)

Those who deny, having once come to faith, and persist in denial, will not have their repentance accepted, for they have gone astray.

But those who reject Faith after they accepted it, and then go on adding to their defiance of Faith,- never will their repentance be accepted; for they are those who have (of set purpose) gone astray.

3:91

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ مَاتُوْا وَ هُمْ كُفَّارٌ فَلَنْ یُّقْبَلَ مِنْ اَحَدِهِمْ مِّلْءُ الْاَرْضِ ذَهَبًا وَّ لَوِ افْتَدٰى بِهٖؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ وَّ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ نّٰصِرِیْنَ۠(۹۱)

From those who deny and die disbelieving will never be accepted an earthful of gold if proferred by them as ransom. For them is grievous punishment, and none will help them.

As to those who reject Faith, and die rejecting,- never would be accepted from any such as much gold as the earth contains, though they should offer it for ransom. For such is (in store) a penalty grievous, and they will find no helpers.

3:92

لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتّٰى تُنْفِقُوْا مِمَّا تُحِبُّوْنَ ﱟ وَ مَا تُنْفِقُوْا مِنْ شَیْءٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِهٖ عَلِیْمٌ(۹۲)

You will never come to piety unless you spend of things you love; and whatever you spend is known to God.

By no means shall ye attain righteousness unless ye give (freely) of that which ye love; and whatever ye give, of a truth Allah knoweth it well.

3:93

كُلُّ الطَّعَامِ كَانَ حِلًّا لِّبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ اِلَّا مَا حَرَّمَ اِسْرَآءِیْلُ عَلٰى نَفْسِهٖ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تُنَزَّلَ التَّوْرٰىةُؕ-قُلْ فَاْتُوْا بِالتَّوْرٰىةِ فَاتْلُوْهَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ(۹۳)

To the children of Israel was lawful all food except what Israel forbade himself before the Torah was revealed. Say: "Bring the Torah and recite it, if what you say is true."

All food was lawful to the Children of Israel, except what Israel Made unlawful for itself, before the Law (of Moses) was revealed. Say: "Bring ye the Law and study it, if ye be men of truth."

3:94

فَمَنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ(ؔ۹۴)

And anyone who fabricates lies about God even after this, is wicked indeed.

If any, after this, invent a lie and attribute it to Allah, they are indeed unjust wrong-doers.

3:95

قُلْ صَدَقَ اللّٰهُ۫-فَاتَّبِعُوْا مِلَّةَ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ حَنِیْفًاؕ-وَ مَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ(۹۵)

Say: "God has veritably spoken the truth. So now follow the way of Abraham the upright, who was not of idolaters."

Say: "Allah speaketh the Truth: follow the religion of Abraham, the sane in faith; he was not of the Pagans."

3:96

اِنَّ اَوَّلَ بَیْتٍ وُّضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِیْ بِبَكَّةَ مُبٰرَكًا وَّ هُدًى لِّلْعٰلَمِیْنَۚ(۹۶)

The first House of God to be set up for men was at Bakkah the blessed, a guidance for the people of the world.

The first House (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakka: Full of blessing and of guidance for all kinds of beings:

3:97

فِیْهِ اٰیٰتٌۢ بَیِّنٰتٌ مَّقَامُ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ ﳛ وَ مَنْ دَخَلَهٗ كَانَ اٰمِنًاؕ-وَ لِلّٰهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَیْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ اِلَیْهِ سَبِیْلًاؕ-وَ مَنْ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِیٌّ عَنِ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۹۷)

It contains clear signs, and the spot where Abraham had stood. And anyone who enters it will find security. And whosoever can afford should visit the House on a pilgrimage as duty to God. Whosoever denies, should remember that God is independent of the peoples of the world.

In it are Signs Manifest; (for example), the Station of Abraham; whoever enters it attains security; Pilgrimage thereto is a duty men owe to Allah,- those who can afford the journey; but if any deny faith, Allah stands not in need of any of His creatures.

3:98

قُلْ یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ لِمَ تَكْفُرُوْنَ بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ ﳓ وَ اللّٰهُ شَهِیْدٌ عَلٰى مَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ(۹۸)

Say: "O people of the Book, why do you reject the word of God when God is a witness to all that you do?"

Say: "O People of the Book! Why reject ye the Signs of Allah, when Allah is Himself witness to all ye do?"

3:99

قُلْ یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ لِمَ تَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ مَنْ اٰمَنَ تَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًا وَّ اَنْتُمْ شُهَدَآءُؕ-وَ مَا اللّٰهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ(۹۹)

Then say: "O people of the Book, why do you turn the believers away from the path of God, looking for obliquities in the way when you are witness to it? And God is aware of all that you do."

Say: "O ye People of the Book! Why obstruct ye those who believe, from the path of Allah, Seeking to make it crooked, while ye were yourselves witnesses (to Allah's Covenant)? but Allah is not unmindful of all that ye do."

3:100

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنْ تُطِیْعُوْا فَرِیْقًا مِّنَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ یَرُدُّوْكُمْ بَعْدَ اِیْمَانِكُمْ كٰفِرِیْنَ(۱۰۰)

O believers, if you follow what some of the people of the Book say, it will turn you into unbelievers even after you have come to belief.

O ye who believe! If ye listen to a faction among the People of the Book, they would (indeed) render you apostates after ye have believed!

3:101

وَ كَیْفَ تَكْفُرُوْنَ وَ اَنْتُمْ تُتْلٰى عَلَیْكُمْ اٰیٰتُ اللّٰهِ وَ فِیْكُمْ رَسُوْلُهٗؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّعْتَصِمْ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدْ هُدِیَ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ۠(۱۰۱)

And how can you disbelieve? To you are being recited the messages of God, and His prophet is among you. And whosoever holds fast to God shall verily be guided to the path that is straight.

And how would ye deny Faith while unto you are rehearsed the Signs of Allah, and among you Lives the Messenger? Whoever holds firmly to Allah will be shown a way that is straight.

3:102

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ تُقٰتِهٖ وَ لَا تَمُوْتُنَّ اِلَّا وَ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ(۱۰۲)

O believers, fear God as He should be feared, and do not die but submitting (to Him).

O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam.

3:103

وَ اعْتَصِمُوْا بِحَبْلِ اللّٰهِ جَمِیْعًا وَّ لَا تَفَرَّقُوْا۪-وَ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ اِذْ كُنْتُمْ اَعْدَآءً فَاَلَّفَ بَیْنَ قُلُوْبِكُمْ فَاَصْبَحْتُمْ بِنِعْمَتِهٖۤ اِخْوَانًاۚ-وَ كُنْتُمْ عَلٰى شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِّنَ النَّارِ فَاَنْقَذَكُمْ مِّنْهَاؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ اٰیٰتِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُوْنَ(۱۰۳)

Hold on firmly together to the rope of God, and be not divided among yourselves, and remember the favours God bestowed on you when you were one another´s foe and He reconciled your hearts, and you turned into brethren through His grace. You had stood on the edge of a pit of fire and He saved you from it, thus revealing to you His clear signs that you may find the right way perchance.

And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's favour on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus doth Allah make His Signs clear to you: That ye may be guided.

3:104

وَ لْتَكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ اُمَّةٌ یَّدْعُوْنَ اِلَى الْخَیْرِ وَ یَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَ یَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِؕ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ(۱۰۴)

So let there be a body among you who may call to the good, enjoin what is esteemed and forbid what is odious. They are those who will be successful.

Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity.

3:105

وَ لَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِیْنَ تَفَرَّقُوْا وَ اخْتَلَفُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ الْبَیِّنٰتُؕ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌۙ(۱۰۵)

So be not like those who became disunited and differed among themselves after clear proofs had come to them. For them is great suffering.

Be not like those who are divided amongst themselves and fall into disputations after receiving Clear Signs: For them is a dreadful penalty,-

3:106

یَّوْمَ تَبْیَضُّ وُجُوْهٌ وَّ تَسْوَدُّ وُجُوْهٌۚ-فَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ اسْوَدَّتْ وُجُوْهُهُمْ۫-اَكَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ اِیْمَانِكُمْ فَذُوْقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْفُرُوْنَ(۱۰۶)

On the Day when some faces would be bright, and some others will be black (with despair), those with black faces (will be told): "Having come to the faith you denied it; now taste therefore the penalty for you disbelieved."

On the Day when some faces will be (lit up with) white, and some faces will be (in the gloom of) black: To those whose faces will be black, (will be said): "Did ye reject Faith after accepting it? Taste then the penalty for rejecting Faith."

3:107

وَ اَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ ابْیَضَّتْ وُجُوْهُهُمْ فَفِیْ رَحْمَةِ اللّٰهِؕ-هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ(۱۰۷)

And those with bright faces shall be under God´s grace and enjoy it for ever.

But those whose faces will be (lit with) white,- they will be in (the light of) Allah's mercy: therein to dwell (for ever).

3:108

تِلْكَ اٰیٰتُ اللّٰهِ نَتْلُوْهَا عَلَیْكَ بِالْحَقِّؕ-وَ مَا اللّٰهُ یُرِیْدُ ظُلْمًا لِّلْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۱۰۸)

These are the commandments of God We recite to you verily; God does not wish injustice to the creatures of the world.

These are the Signs of Allah: We rehearse them to thee in Truth: And Allah means no injustice to any of His creatures.

3:109

وَ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-وَ اِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ۠(۱۰۹)

For to God belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth, and to God do all things return.

To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: To Him do all questions go back (for decision).

3:110

كُنْتُمْ خَیْرَ اُمَّةٍ اُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَ تَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِؕ-وَ لَوْ اٰمَنَ اَهْلُ الْكِتٰبِ لَكَانَ خَیْرًا لَّهُمْؕ-مِنْهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَ اَكْثَرُهُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ(۱۱۰)

Of all the communities raised among men you are the best, enjoining the good, forbidding the wrong, and believing in God. If the people of the Book had come to believe it was best for them; but only some believe, and transgressors are many.

Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors.

3:111

لَنْ یَّضُرُّوْكُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَذًىؕ-وَ اِنْ یُّقَاتِلُوْكُمْ یُوَلُّوْكُمُ الْاَدْبَارَ۫-ثُمَّ لَا یُنْصَرُوْنَ(۱۱۱)

They will do you no harm but annoyance; and if they fight you they will only turn their backs, then no help will reach them.

They will do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance; if they come out to fight you, they will show you their backs, and no help shall they get.

3:112

ضُرِبَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ الذِّلَّةُ اَیْنَ مَا ثُقِفُوْۤا اِلَّا بِحَبْلٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَ حَبْلٍ مِّنَ النَّاسِ وَ بَآءُوْ بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَ ضُرِبَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ الْمَسْكَنَةُؕ-ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا یَكْفُرُوْنَ بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَ یَقْتُلُوْنَ الْاَنْۢبِیَآءَ بِغَیْرِ حَقٍّؕ-ذٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَّ كَانُوْا یَعْتَدُوْنَۗ(۱۱۲)

Degraded they shall live wheresoever they be unless they make an alliance with God and alliance with men, for they have incurred the anger of God, and misery overhangs them. That is because they denied the signs of God and killed the prophets unjustly, and rebelled, and went beyond the limit.

Shame is pitched over them (Like a tent) wherever they are found, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allah and from men; they draw on themselves wrath from Allah, and pitched over them is (the tent of) destitution. This because they rejected the Signs of Allah, and slew the prophets in defiance of right; this because they rebelled and transgressed beyond bounds.

3:113

لَیْسُوْا سَوَآءًؕ-مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ اُمَّةٌ قَآىٕمَةٌ یَّتْلُوْنَ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ اٰنَآءَ الَّیْلِ وَ هُمْ یَسْجُدُوْنَ(۱۱۳)

Yet all of them are not alike. Among the people of the Book is a section upright, who recite the scriptures in the hours of the night and bow in adoration and pray,

Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of Allah all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration.

3:114

یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَ یَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَ یَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ یُسَارِعُوْنَ فِی الْخَیْرٰتِؕ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ(۱۱۴)

And believe in God and the Last Day, and enjoin what is good and forbid what is wrong, and who hasten to give in charity: they are among the upright and the doers of good.

They believe in Allah and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.

3:115

وَ مَا یَفْعَلُوْا مِنْ خَیْرٍ فَلَنْ یُّكْفَرُوْهُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالْمُتَّقِیْنَ(۱۱۵)

And the good they do will not go unaccepted; for God is aware of those who keep away from evil.

Of the good that they do, nothing will be rejected of them; for Allah knoweth well those that do right.

3:116

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَنْ تُغْنِیَ عَنْهُمْ اَمْوَالُهُمْ وَ لَاۤ اَوْلَادُهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ شَیْــٴًـاؕ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِۚ-هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ(۱۱۶)

As for those who disbelieve, neither wealth nor children will avail them in the least against God. They are the residents of Hell where they will live for ever.

Those who reject Faith,- neither their possessions nor their (numerous) progeny will avail them aught against Allah: They will be companions of the Fire,-dwelling therein (for ever).

3:117

مَثَلُ مَا یُنْفِقُوْنَ فِیْ هٰذِهِ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا كَمَثَلِ رِیْحٍ فِیْهَا صِرٌّ اَصَابَتْ حَرْثَ قَوْمٍ ظَلَمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَاَهْلَكَتْهُؕ-وَ مَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ لٰكِنْ اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُوْنَ(۱۱۷)

What they spend in the life of this world is like a frosty wind which smites and destroys the crops of a people who had wronged themselves. God did not wrong them, they wronged themselves.

What they spend in the life of this (material) world May be likened to a wind which brings a nipping frost: It strikes and destroys the harvest of men who have wronged their own souls: it is not Allah that hath wronged them, but they wrong themselves.

3:118

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَتَّخِذُوْا بِطَانَةً مِّنْ دُوْنِكُمْ لَا یَاْلُوْنَكُمْ خَبَالًاؕ-وَدُّوْا مَا عَنِتُّمْۚ-قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَآءُ مِنْ اَفْوَاهِهِمْ ﭕ وَ مَا تُخْفِیْ صُدُوْرُهُمْ اَكْبَرُؕ-قَدْ بَیَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْاٰیٰتِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ(۱۱۸)

O believers, do not make others except your own people your confidants. They will spare no effort to ruin you: They surely desire your annihilation. Hate is on their tongues, and what they hide in their hearts is worse. We have shown you the signs if you have sense.

O ye who believe! Take not into your intimacy those outside your ranks: They will not fail to corrupt you. They only desire your ruin: Rank hatred has already appeared from their mouths: What their hearts conceal is far worse. We have made plain to you the Signs, if ye have wisdom.

3:119

هٰۤاَنْتُمْ اُولَآءِ تُحِبُّوْنَهُمْ وَ لَا یُحِبُّوْنَكُمْ وَ تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْكِتٰبِ كُلِّهٖۚ-وَ اِذَا لَقُوْكُمْ قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا ﳒ وَ اِذَا خَلَوْا عَضُّوْا عَلَیْكُمُ الْاَنَامِلَ مِنَ الْغَیْظِؕ-قُلْ مُوْتُوْا بِغَیْظِكُمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ(۱۱۹)

Just think! You hold them as your friends but they do not, even though you believe in all the Scriptures. When they meet you they say: "We believe;" but when they are alone they bite their fingers in rage. Say: "Die of your rage. God is aware of the secrets of the hearts."

Ah! ye are those who love them, but they love you not,- though ye believe in the whole of the Book. When they meet you, they say, "We believe": But when they are alone, they bite off the very tips of their fingers at you in their rage. Say: "Perish in your rage; Allah knoweth well all the secrets of the heart."

3:120

اِنْ تَمْسَسْكُمْ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ٘-وَ اِنْ تُصِبْكُمْ سَیِّئَةٌ یَّفْرَحُوْا بِهَاؕ-وَ اِنْ تَصْبِرُوْا وَ تَتَّقُوْا لَا یَضُرُّكُمْ كَیْدُهُمْ شَیْــٴًـاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِیْطٌ۠(۱۲۰)

If good comes your way, they are vexed; but if evil befalls you they are pleased and rejoice; yet if you are patient and guard yourselves against evil, their cunning will not harm you in the least, for whatsoever they do is well within the reach of God.

If aught that is good befalls you, it grieves them; but if some misfortune overtakes you, they rejoice at it. But if ye are constant and do right, not the least harm will their cunning do to you; for Allah Compasseth round about all that they do.
