Quran 3:199 (Ayah al-Imran)
Indeed, there are some among the People of the Book who truly believe in Allah and what has been revealed to you ˹believers˺ and what was revealed to them. They humble themselves before Allah— never trading Allah’s revelations for a fleeting gain. Their reward is with their Lord. Surely Allah is swift in reckoning. Quran 3:199 Surah al-Imran (The Family of Imran)
Al Imran (Arabic: آل عمران, āl ʿimrān; meaning: The Family of Imran) is the third chapter (sūrah) of the Quran with two hundred verses (āyāt).

وَإِنَّ مِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ لَمَن یُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَاۤ أُنزِلَ إِلَیۡكُمۡ وَمَاۤ أُنزِلَ إِلَیۡهِمۡ خَـٰشِعِینَ لِلَّهِ لَا یَشۡتَرُونَ بِءَایَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنࣰا قَلِیلًاۚ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرُهُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِیعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ
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].
Zahra – The Prophet is reported to have called al-Baqarah and Ale-Imran as ‘Zahrawayn’ [Two Lights (of guidance)]
اہل کتاب میں بھی کچھ لوگ ایسے ہیں جو اللہ کو مانتے ہیں، اس کتاب پر ایمان لاتے ہیں جو تمہاری طرف بھیجی گئی ہے اوراُس کتاب پربھی ایمان رکھتے ہیں جو اس سے پہلے خود ان کی طرف بھیجی گئی تھی، اللہ کے آگے جھکے ہوئے ہیں، اور اللہ کی آیتوں کے بدلے تھوڑی سی قیمت نہیں لیتے ان کا اجر ان کے رب کے پاس ہے اور اللہ حساب چکانے میں دیر نہیں لگاتا
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.
