Quran 3:164
Indeed, Allah has done the believers a ˹great˺ favour by raising a messenger from among them—reciting to them His revelations, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and wisdom. For indeed they had previously been clearly astray. Quran 3:164 [Surah Aal-e-Imran] (The Family of Imran)
Surah Ali ‘Imran (The Family of Imran) is the third chapter (003) of the Quran, consisting of 200 verses (Ayat).
لَقَدۡ مَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَى الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ اِذۡ بَعَثَ فِيۡهِمۡ رَسُوۡلًا مِّنۡ اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ يَتۡلُوۡا عَلَيۡهِمۡ اٰيٰتِهٖ وَيُزَكِّيۡهِمۡ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الۡكِتٰبَ وَالۡحِكۡمَةَ  ۚ وَاِنۡ كَانُوۡا مِنۡ قَبۡلُ لَفِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ‏  ١٦٤
The main topics of this Surah are Tawhid, Prophethood and the truth of the Qur’ an. As Surah al-Baqarah discussed the issues related to Bani Israel, this Surah discusses some issues related to the Christian community and their religious positions. It also discusses the subjects of Hajj, Jihad, Zakat and Riba. It ends, like Surah al-Baqarah, with a profound dua.
درحقیقت اللہ نے یہ بہت بڑا احسان کیا ہے اہل ایمان پر جب ان میں اٹھایا ایک رسول ﷺ ان ہی میں سے جو تلاوت کر کے انہیں سناتا ہے اس کی آیات اور انہیں پاک کرتا ہے اور تعلیم دیتا ہے انہیں کتاب و حکمت کی اور یقیناً اس سے پہلے (یعنی رسول ﷺ کی آمد سے قبل) تو وہ لازماً کھلی گمراہی کے اندر مبتلا تھے
It is named after Ale-Imran ‘the family of Imran’ – Imran being the grandfather of Jesus [Isa], and the father of Mary [Maryam]. Other than this Surah, Imran is not mentioned in the rest of the Qur’an with the exception of Surah 66: at-Tahreem – ‘Maryam daughter of Imran’ [66:12].
