لَیۡسُوا۟ سَوَاۤءࣰۗ
مِّنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ أُمَّةࣱ قَاۤىِٕمَةࣱ
یَتۡلُونَ ءَایَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ
ءَانَاۤءَ ٱلَّیۡلِ وَهُمۡ یَسۡجُدُونَ

یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡیَوۡمِ ٱلۡءَاخِرِ وَیَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَیَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِ
وَیُسَـٰرِعُونَ فِی ٱلۡخَیۡرَ ٰتِۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِینَ

وَمَا یَفۡعَلُوا۟ مِنۡ خَیۡرࣲ فَلَن یُكۡفَرُوهُۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِیمُۢ بِٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ — ^{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)]}

یہ بھی سب ایک جیسے نہیں ہیں
ان اہلِ کتاب میں کچھ لوگ (حکمِ خدا پر) قائم بھی ہیں

جو رات کے وقت خدا کی آیتیں پڑھتے
اور (اس کے آگے) سجدہ کرتے ہیں

(اور) خدا پر اور روز آخرت پر ایمان رکھتے اور اچھے کام کرنےکو کہتے اور بری باتوں سے منع کرتے
اور نیکیوں پر لپکتے ہیں
اور یہی لوگ نیکوکار ہیں

اور یہ جس طرح کی نیکی کریں گے اس کی ناقدری نہیں کی جائے گی
اور خدا پرہیزگاروں کو خوب جانتا ہے — ^{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.}
