Quran 3:65~68 (Ayah al-Imran)

O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until long after him? Do you not understand?Here you are! You disputed about what you have ˹little˺ knowledge of, but why do you now argue about what you have no knowledge of? Allah knows and you do not know.Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian; he submitted in all uprightness and was not a polytheist.Indeed, those who have the best claim to Abraham are his followers, this Prophet, and the believers. And Allah is the Guardian of those who believe.`Quran 3:65_68Surah al-Imran (The Family of Imran)
Surah al-Mu’minum [The Believers] takes its name after the first Ayat, قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ “Certainly will the Believers have succeeded.” [23:1].
This Surah has 118 Ayat.

یَـٰۤأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ لِمَ تُحَاۤجُّونَ فِیۤ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ وَمَاۤ أُنزِلَتِ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةُ وَٱلۡإِنجِیلُ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦۤۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ 

هَـٰۤأَنتُمۡ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ حَـٰجَجۡتُمۡ فِیمَا لَكُم بِهِۦ عِلۡمࣱ فَلِمَ تُحَاۤجُّونَ فِیمَا لَیۡسَ لَكُم بِهِۦ عِلۡمࣱۚ وَٱللَّهُ یَعۡلَمُ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ 

مَا كَانَ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمُ یَهُودِیࣰّا وَلَا نَصۡرَانِیࣰّا وَلَـٰكِن كَانَ حَنِیفࣰا مُّسۡلِمࣰا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِینَ

إِنَّ أَوۡلَى ٱلنَّاسِ بِإِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ لَلَّذِینَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُ وَهَـٰذَا ٱلنَّبِیُّ وَٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَلِیُّ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ
In this Surah people are invited to accept and follow the Prophet. This is the central theme of the Surah. It speaks about the character of true believers and assures that they will be the real successful people. It draws attention to various stages of human creation, to many other universal signs. Then it takes some of the stories of other prophets and tells us that they also preached the same message.
اے اہل کتاب! تم ابراہیمؑ کے بارے میں ہم سے کیوں جھگڑا کرتے ہو؟ تورات اور انجیل تو ابراہیمؑ کے بعد ہی نازل ہوئی ہیں پھر کیا تم اتنی بات بھی نہیں سمجھتے 

تم لوگ جن چیزوں کا علم رکھتے ہو 
اُن میں تو خوب بحثیں کر چکے، 
اب ان معاملات میں کیوں بحث کرنے چلے ہو جن کا تمہارے پاس کچھ بھی علم نہیں اللہ جانتا ہے، تم نہیں جانتے 

ابراہیمؑ نہ یہودی تھا نہ عیسائی، 
بلکہ وہ ایک مسلم یکسو تھا 
اور وہ ہرگز مشرکوں میں سے نہ تھا 

ابراہیمؑ سے نسبت رکھنے کا سب سے زیادہ حق اگر کسی کو پہنچتا ہے 
تو اُن لوگوں کو پہنچتا ہے جنہوں نے اس کی پیروی کی 
اور اب یہ نبی اور اس کے ماننے والے اِس نسبت کے زیادہ حق دار ہیں 
اللہ صرف اُنہی کا حامی و مددگار ہے جو ایمان رکھتے ہوں

The character of the Believers. Various stages of human creation and Allah’s signs in the universe.
The Message of Prophet Noah, his people’s response and then the flood.
Generations were raised after Prophet Noah. Many prophets were sent among them. Then came Prophet Moses and Aaron and then came Jesus – peace be upon them all.
All prophets are one Ummah and preached the same religion. Those who are affluent think that they are also the righteous people, but the righteous are only those who do the good deeds.

Quran 3:96~97 (Ayah al-Imran)

Surely the first House ˹of worship˺ established for humanity is the one at Bakkah—a blessed sanctuary and a guide for ˹all˺ people.In it are clear signs and the standing-place of Abraham. Whoever enters it should be safe. Pilgrimage to this House is an obligation by Allah upon whoever is able among the people. And whoever disbelieves, then surely Allah is not in need of ˹any of His˺ creation.Quran 3:96~97Surah al-Imran (The Family of Imran)

بے شک سب سے پہلی عبادت گاہ جو انسانوں کے لیے تعمیر ہوئی 
وہ وہی ہے جو مکہ میں واقع ہے 
اس کو خیر و برکت دی گئی تھی 
اور تمام جہان والوں کے لیے 
مرکز ہدایت بنایا گیا تھا 

اس میں کھلی ہوئی نشانیاں ہیں، ابراہیمؑ کا مقام عبادت ہے، 
اوراس کا حال یہ ہے کہ 
جو اِس میں داخل ہوا مامون ہو گیا 

لوگوں پر اللہ کا یہ حق ہے کہ 
جو اس گھر تک پہنچنے کی استطاعت رکھتا ہو 
وہ اس کا حج کرے، 
اور جو کوئی اس 
حکم کی پیروی سے انکار کرے 
تو اسے معلوم ہو جانا چاہیے کہ 
اللہ تمام د نیا والوں سے بے نیاز ہے

Quran 3:156~158

O believers! Do not be like the unfaithful who say about their brothers who travel throughout the land or engage in battle, “If they had stayed with us, they would not have died or been killed.” Allah makes such thinking a cause of agony in their hearts. It is Allah who gives life and causes death. And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.Continued….
Should you be martyred or die in the cause of Allah, then His forgiveness and mercy are far better than whatever ˹wealth˺ those ˹who stay behind˺ accumulate.Whether you die or are martyred—all of you will be gathered before Allah.Quran 3:156~158Surah   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).

اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو، کافروں کی سی باتیں نہ کرو جن کے عزیز و اقارب اگر کبھی سفر پر جاتے ہیں یا جنگ میں شریک ہوتے ہیں ‘
(اور وہاں کسی حادثہ سے دو چار ہو جاتے ہیں) 
تو وہ کہتے ہیں کہ 
اگر وہ ہمارے پاس ہوتے 
تو نہ مارے جاتے اور 
نہ قتل ہوتے 
اللہ اس قسم کی باتوں کو ان کے دلوں میں حسرت و اندوہ کا سبب بنا دیتا ہے،
 ورنہ دراصل مارنے اور 
جِلانے والا تو اللہ ہی ہے
اور تمہاری حرکات پر 
وہی نگراں ہے 

اگر تم اللہ کی راہ میں مارے جاؤ یا مر جاؤ تو 

اللہ کی جو رحمت اور بخشش تمہارے حصہ میں آئے گی 
وہ اُن ساری چیزوں سے زیادہ بہتر ہے جنہیں 
یہ لوگ جمع کرتے ہیں 

اور خواہ تم مرو یا مارے جاؤ بہر حال تم سب کو سمٹ کر 
جانا اللہ ہی کی طرف ہے

Quran 3:196~198

Do not be deceived by the prosperity of the disbelievers throughout the land.It is only a brief enjoyment.Then Hell will be their home—what an evil place to rest!But those who are mindful of their Lord will be in Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there forever—as an accommodation from Allah.And what is with Allah is best for the virtuous.Quran 3:196~198Surah  al-Imran (The Family of Imran)
