[3:1] AlifLaamMeem

[3:2] God, there is no god except He, The Living, The Self-Existing.

[3:3] He revealed to you the scripture truthfully, confirming what you already uphold and He revealed the Torah and the Injeel–

[3:4] -previously as guidance for the people and He revealed the statute book. Surely for those who disbelieve in God's proofs is an ultimate suffering. And God is Almighty, Avenger.

[3:5] Indeed nothing is hidden from God within matter or in the vacuum.

[3:6] He is the One who designed you in the wombs, as He willed. There is no god except He, The Almighty, The All Wise.

[3:7] He is the One who revealed the scripture to you, part of it contains straightforward verses which are the essence of the book and others are allegorical. Consequently, those who have a disease in their hearts follow the allegorical parts, seeking disorder and they seek its explanation. And no one knows its explanation except God. Moreover, those who possess knowledge say, we believe in it, all of it is from our Lord. And no one takes heed except those who possess vision.

[3:8] Our Lord, do not let our hearts waver after you have guided us, and grant us from your special place, mercy. Indeed you are The Grantor.

[3:9] Our Lord, indeed you are Gatherer of the people on the day about which there is no doubt. Surely, God does not break the promise.

[3:10] Surely as for the unfaithful, their money and their children will have no value in the least at God. And they will be fuel for Hell-

[3:11] -like the people of Pharaoh and those before them. They rejected Our Signs; consequently, God punished them for their sins. And God is strict in enforcing retribution.

[3:12] Say to the unfaithful that they will be defeated and will be summoned to Gehenna. And what a miserable abode.

[3:13] Indeed there is a sign in the two armies when they met. One army was fighting in the cause of God, while the other had no faith; they seemed twice as many in their eyes. And God helps with His victory whomever He wills. Indeed, in this, there is a lesson for those who possess vision.

[3:14] Adorned for the people is lustful love for women and sons, and piles upon piles of gold and silver and horses, livestock and crops. These are the enjoyment of this worldly life. And at God there is the best abode.

[3:15] Say, shall I inform you of something better than these? For those who are reverent, at their Lord, there are paradises with flowing streams beneath them, they are to dwell therein eternally with pure spouses and approval from God. And God is All Seer over the servants.

[3:16] These are the ones who say, our Lord, indeed we have faith, therefore, forgive our sins and spare us the agony of Hell.

[3:17] These are the steadfast ones, the truthful ones, the obedient ones, the charitable ones, and seekers of forgiveness before dawn.

[3:18] God testifies that indeed there is no god except He and so do the angels and those who possess knowledge; this is standing up for justice. There is no god except He, The Almighty, The All Wise.

[3:19] Indeed the religion at God is Islam. And those who have received the scripture did not dispute, except after the knowledge came to them, due to jealousy on their part. As for those who disbelieved in God's Signs, then indeed God is quick in reckoning.

[3:20] Therefore, if they argue with you, then say, I am at peace with God and so do those who follow me. Moreover, say to those who received the scripture as well as the laymen, will you attain peace? Then if they attain peace, they immediately are guided, and if they turn away, then indeed your only responsibility is to deliver. And God is All Seer of the servants.

[3:21] Surely those who reject God's Signs and kill the prophets unjustly, and murder those people who advocate justice, then give them the news of a most painful suffering.

[3:22] These are the ones who wasted their work in this world as well as in the Hereafter and there are no helpers for them.

[3:23] Do you not see those who received part of the scripture and were invited to God's scripture to judge amongst them; then some of them turned away in aversion?

[3:24] This is because they used to say that Hell will not touch us except for a few days. And they were deceived by their religion and what they used to fabricate.

[3:25] Then, how We gather them on the day wherein there is no doubt and every soul is repaid for what she has earned and no one suffers any injustice.

[3:26] Say, O god, Possessor of all kingships, You give kingship to whomever You will, and take away kingship from whomever You will, and You grant honor to whomever You will and bring humility to whomever You will. Goodness is in Your Hand. And indeed You are All Powerful over all things.

[3:27] You turn the night into the day and turn the day into the night. And You bring the living out of the dead and bring the dead out of the living. Moreover, You provide for whomever You will without limits.

[3:28] The faithful never take the unfaithful as allies instead of the faithful. And whoever does this has nothing at God; exempted is the one who fears persecution. And God wants you to be mindful of Him. Moreover, the return is to God.

[3:29] Say, if you hide what is in your chest or reveal it, God knows it. And He knows what is in the vacua and what is within matter. Moreover God is All Powerful over all things.

[3:30] The day when every soul finds out what good she has done is readily presented to her, as well as what she has done that is evil, that which she would have liked to be as far away from her as possible. And God wants you to be mindful of Him. Furthermore, God is All Compassionate towards the servants.

[3:31] Say, if you love God then obey me, God will love you and forgive your sins. And God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[3:32] Say, obey God and the messenger. Thereafter, if you turn away, then God does not love the unfaithful.

[3:33] Indeed God chose Adam, Noah and the family of Abraham and the Amramites over all the people--

[3:34] -generation after generation. And God is All Hearer, All Knower.

[3:35] When the wife of Emran said, Lord, indeed I have dedicated to You what is in my belly, freely, therefore accept it from me. Indeed you are The All Hearer, The All Knowing.

[3:36] Once she delivered her, she said indeed I have delivered a female, while God fully knew what she had delivered, and the male is not the same as the female. And I have named her Mary and indeed I seek refuge for her in You, as well as for her descendants, from Satan the rejected.

[3:37] Hence, her Lord accepted her, a gracious acceptance and brought her up; a gracious upbringing and Zachariah became her guardian. Every time Zachariah entered her sanctuary, he found provisions for her. He said O Mary, how did you get this? She said; it is from God. Indeed, God provides for whomever He wills without limits.

[3:38] In there, Zachariah called upon his Lord. Lord, grant me from Your special place, a pure heir. Indeed You are All Hearer of the calling.

[3:39] Then, the angels called him as he was standing to pray in the sanctuary, indeed God gives you the good news of John, an upholder of God's word, a gentleman, a person who controls his desires, and a righteous prophet.

[3:40] He said, Lord, how can I have a son as I am old and my wife is sterile? He said, thus God does what He wills.

[3:41] He said, Lord, give me a sign. He said your sign is that you will not speak to people for three days, except by sign language. Furthermore, commemorate your Lord constantly and glorify night and day.

[3:42] And when the angels said, O Mary, indeed God has chosen you and has cleansed you, and He has chosen you over all the women in the world.

[3:43] O Mary, humble yourself for your Lord and fall prostrate and humbly bow with those who humbly bow.

[3:44] These are the hidden news, We have inspired to you. And you were not present when they drew lots to see which one should be the guardian of Mary and you were not present when they argued.

[3:45] When the angels said, O Mary, God gives the good news of a word from Him whose name is the Healer, Jesus, son of Mary, distinguished in this world and one of the close ones in the Hereafter.

[3:46] Furthermore, he will speak to the people from the crib as well as when he is older and he will be one of the righteous ones.

[3:47] She said, Lord, how can I have a son when no man has touched me? He said thus God creates what He wills. Once He wills a matter, then, indeed He will say to it; "Be" and it is.

[3:48] And He will teach him the scripture and wisdom and the Torah as well as the Injeel.

[3:49] And as a messenger to the Children of Israel, I am indeed coming to you with a Sign from your Lord. Indeed, I create for you from clay the shape of a bird, then I blow in it, thereafter, it becomes a bird by God's leave. And, I heal the blind and the leper and resurrect the dead by God's leave. And I inform you of what you have eaten and what you store in your homes. Indeed, in this, there is a Sign for you if you are faithful.

[3:50] Moreover, I uphold what you have from the Torah and I make lawful some of what was prohibited for yourselves. And I come to you with a Sign from your Lord, therefore, fear God and obey.

[3:51] Surely God is my Lord and your Lord, therefore worship Him. This is the straight path.

[3:52] Then, once Jesus felt disbelief on their part, he said, who are my supporters towards God? The disciples said we are God's supporters, we have faith in God and bear witness that we are indeed peace offerors.

[3:53] Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed and have followed the messenger, therefore, include us among the witnesses.

[3:54] And they planned and so did God and God is the best planner.

[3:55] When God said; O Jesus, indeed I am terminating your life and raising you to Me and saving you from the unfaithful, and I will raise those who followed you over the unfaithful until the Day of Resurrection. Thereafter to Me, all of you will return and I will judge among you about everything you have disputed.

[3:56] As for the unfaithful, I will then punish them severely in this world as well as in the Hereafter and they will have no helpers.

[3:57] And as for those who have attained faith and lead a righteous life, He will fulfill for them their rewards and God does not love the unjust.

[3:58] We thus recite to you from the proofs and the reminder which is full of wisdom.

[3:59] Surely, the example of Jesus as far as God is concerned is the same as Adam. He created him from clay then said to it, "Be" and so it became.

[3:60] It is the truth from your Lord; therefore do not be one of the doubters.

[3:61] Therefore, if they argue with you after what has come to you from knowledge, then say, let us call upon our sons and your sons and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, then seek condemnation that God's curse shall be upon the liars.

[3:62] Indeed, this is the true history and there is no god except God. And indeed God is The Almighty, The All Wise.

[3:63] Therefore, if they turn away; then God has full knowledge of those who spread corruption.

[3:64] Say, O you people of the scripture, let us agree on a word, which is agreed upon among us and among you, that we do not worship except God and do not set up anything as a partner for Him, and we do not take each other as lords besides God. Thereafter if they turn away, you should say we bear witness that indeed we are peace offerors.

[3:65] O people of the scripture, why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Injeel were not even revealed except after him? Do you not think?

[3:66] Here you are arguing about something about which you are knowledgeable, but why do you argue about something which you do not have any knowledge? And God knows while you do not know.

[3:67] Abraham was neither Judean nor Nazarene but he was a monotheist, peace offeror and he was never one of those who set up partners for god.

[3:68] Indeed those people close to Abraham are those who have followed him and this prophet as well as those who attained faith and God is the ally of the faithful.

[3:69] Some of the people of the scripture would like to mislead you, however, they do not mislead anyone except themselves, but they do not perceive.

[3:70] O people of the scripture, why do you disbelieve in God's Signs while you are bearing witness.

[3:71] O people of the scripture, why do you dress up the truth with falsehood and cover up the truth, while you know.

[3:72] And a group amongst the people of the scripture said; believe in what is revealed to those who attained faith today, and reject it later, maybe they would revert.

[3:73] Moreover, they never attain faith, except for the one who follows your faith. Say, indeed the only guidance is God's guidance that He bestows upon a person, just like what you have been given or do you keep on arguing about your Lord? Say, the bounty is in God's hand; He bestows it to whomever He wills. Moreover, God is Expander, All Knowing.

[3:74] He reserves His Mercy for whomever He wills. And God is Possessor of infinite grace.

[3:75] And from the people of the scripture is the one that you can trust with loads of wealth, he will return it, and from them is the one whom you cannot trust with a single Dihnar, he would not return it to you, unless you stand there guarding him. This is because, they indeed said, we do not have to deal with the laymen in the same way, and they utter a lie about God knowingly.

[3:76] Yes, the one who is faithful to his promise and is reverent, then indeed God loves the reverent.

[3:77] Indeed those who sell God's covenant and their oaths for a cheap material gain, they will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them nor will He look in their direction on the Day of Resurrection nor will He cleanse them and for them there is a painful suffering.

[3:78] Moreover, indeed a group of them twist their tongue to make it sound like the scripture, in order to make you think that it is from the scripture, while it is not from the scripture and they will say it is from God while it is not from God and they say a lie about God while they know.

[3:79] It is impossible for any human being whom God has given the scripture, wisdom and prophethood to say to people, be my worshipers instead of God's; he would instead say, be people of the Lord according to what you have been taught from the scripture and what you teach thereof.

[3:80] Nor would he command you to take angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to disbelieve after you have become peace offerors?

[3:81] And when God took a covenant from the prophets, that indeed I have given you scripture and wisdom, thereafter, a messenger will come to you upholding what you have, you shall believe in him and support him. He said, do you agree and make a solemn covenant? They said we agree. He said, therefore be witnesses and I am witnessing this along with you.

[3:82] Therefore, whoever rejects this, then, they are wicked.

[3:83] Are you seeking other than God's religion, when to Him offer peace everything in the vacua and within matter willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they all will return?

[3:84] Say, we believe in God and what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes, and what was revealed to Moses, Jesus and the prophets from their Lord; we make no distinction among them and to Him we offer peace.

[3:85] Moreover, whoever takes other than peace offering as a religion, it will then not be accepted from him and he will end up a loser in the Hereafter.

[3:86] How should God guide a people who have disbelieved after attaining faith and have witnessed that the messenger is truthful, and they also received proofs? And God does not guide the people who are unjust.

[3:87] Their requital indeed is God's curse as well as that of the angels and all the people.

[3:88] They abide therein forever, suffering will not be reduced for them, nor will they be respited.

[3:89] Exempted are those who repent after this and become righteous, thereafter, indeed God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[3:90] Surely those who lose faith after attaining faith, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted and they will be completely astray.

[3:91] Indeed those who have no faith, and die as unfaithful, then an Earth full of gold will not be accepted from them as ransom. They have deserved a painful suffering and they will have no helpers.

[3:92] You will not attain righteousness until you give from what you love. Moreover, whatever you spend, then God has full knowledge thereof.

[3:93] All the food was lawful for the Children of Israel, except what Israel prohibited for himself before the revelation of the Torah. Say, then bring the Torah and recite it if you are truthful.

[3:94] Therefore, whoever attributes a lie to God after this; then they are unjust.

[3:95] Say, God has spoken the truth. Therefore, follow the Nation of Abraham, the monotheist, and he was never one of those who set up partners for god.

[3:96] Indeed, the premier house set up for the people is the one at the blessed Bebakka, and it serves as a beacon for all the people.

[3:97] In there are proven Signs, station of Abraham. And whoever enters therein, he will be secure. Moreover, the people who can afford it shall observe the Haj of the House for God. And whoever disbelieves; then God is in no need of anyone.

[3:98] Say, O people of the scripture, why do you disbelieve in God's proofs, when God is witnessing everything you do?

[3:99] Say, O people of the scripture, why do you repel the faithful from the path of God and seek to distort it while you are witnesses? And God is never unaware of anything you do.

[3:100] O you faithful, if you obey a group of those who have received the scripture, they will transform you, after attaining faith, into unfaithful.

[3:101] Moreover, how can you disbelieve, while you are being recited God's signs and the messenger is in your midst? And whoever holds on to God; then he is guided to the straight path.

[3:102] O you faithful, fear God as you truly should fear Him, and do not die except as peace offerors.

[3:103] And hold fast to the rope of God, all of you, and do not be divided. And remember God's blessings upon you, once you were enemies, then He reconciled your hearts, then He showered you with His blessings and you became brothers, and you were at the edge of the pit of Hell; He then saved you therefrom. God thus explains His Signs for you that you may be guided.

[3:104] And let there be a community of you who invites to goodness and enjoins righteousness and forbids evil. And these are the winners.

[3:105] And do not be like those who were divided and disputed after all the proofs that came to them. And indeed awaiting them is a tremendous suffering.

[3:106] The day when faces are brightened and faces are darkened. As for those whose faces are darkened, they disbelieved after attaining faith, therefore, taste the suffering for your disbelief.

[3:107] And those whose faces are brightened, then they are in God's Mercy, and they abide therein forever.

[3:108] These are God's Signs We recite to you truthfully. Moreover, God does not wish injustice for the people.

[3:109] And to God belongs what is in the vacua and what is within matter. And to God is the destiny of all deeds.

[3:110] You are the best community that mankind produced, enjoining righteousness and forbidding evil, while believing in God. And if the people of the scripture had believed it would have been better for them. Some of them are faithful; however, most of them are wicked.

[3:111] They cannot harm you except through torment. And if they fight you they turn around and flee, thereafter they will not be helped.

[3:112] Humiliation has befallen them wherever they are encountered, except by a support from God and a support from the people, furthermore, they have deserved a wrath from God and poverty has stricken them. This is because they used to disbelieve in God's Signs and killed the prophets unjustly. This is because they rebelled and used to transgress.

[3:113] They are not all the same. There is a group of the people of the scripture standing up, reciting God's Signs during the night and they fall prostrate.

[3:114] They believe in God and the Last Day, and enjoin righteousness and forbid evil and race towards goodness and these are amongst the righteous.

[3:115] Furthermore, whatever good they do, it will not be unappreciated. Moreover, God is All Knowing of those who are righteous.

[3:116] Indeed as for the unfaithful, neither their money nor their children will protect them in the least from God. And they are dwellers of Hell. They will abide therein forever.

[3:117] An example of their spending in this worldly life is like the example of a gusting wind hitting the crop of the people who are unjust toward their souls; then it wipes it out completely. Moreover, God was not unjust toward them, but they themselves were unjust.

[3:118] O you faithful do not take as trustee anyone besides yourselves; they never cease to wish you harm and love to see you burdened, hatred is obvious from their mouths and what is hidden in their chests is even worse. We thus explain Our Signs for you that you may understand.

[3:119] Here you love them, while they do not love you, and you believe in the scripture completely and when you meet them, they say we believe and when they are secluded, they bite their fingers from rage. Say, die with your rage. Indeed God is All Knower of the innermost thoughts.

[3:120] If something good happens to you, they dislike it and if something bad happens to you, they rejoice because of it. And if you are patient and maintain reverence, their scheming will not harm you in the least. Indeed God is encompassing everything they do.

[3:121] And you left your family in the morning to assign positions for the faithful to prepare for battle. And God was All Hearing, All Knowing.

[3:122] When two groups among you tried, they were almost defeated; however, God was their ally. Moreover, in God the faithful shall trust.

[3:123] And indeed God supported you at Badr, while you were weak. Therefore, you shall fear God that you may become grateful.

[3:124] When you told the faithful, is it not enough for you that your Lord is helping you with three thousand descending angels?

[3:125] Yes indeed. If you are patient and reverent, and they come to you in a blitz, in this case, your Lord will support you with five thousand angels, fully trained.

[3:126] Furthermore, God did not arrange this except as good news for you, and in order to reassure your hearts with it. Moreover, there is no help except from God, the Almighty, the All Wise.

[3:127] This is to frustrate some of those who have lost faith or to humiliate them; so that they turn despondent.

[3:128] It is not your task in the least; He may redeem them or punish them if they are unjust.

[3:129] Furthermore, to God belong everything in the vacua and everything within matter. He forgives whomever He wills and punishes whomever He wills. And God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[3:130] O you faithful do not eat from interest compounded over and over. And fear God that you may succeed.

[3:131] And fear Hell that has been promised to the unfaithful.

[3:132] And you shall obey God and the messenger that you may attain mercy.

[3:133] And race towards forgiveness from your Lord and a heaven as large as the vacua and matter, which is promised to the righteous.

[3:134] Those who give during prosperity as well as hardship and are in control of their anger and pardoners of people. And God loves the do-gooders.

[3:135] And those whom when they commit an abomination or wrong their souls, they remember God then they ask forgiveness for their sins and who could forgive sins except God, and they do not insist on what they did and they know.

[3:136] These are the ones whom their reward is forgiveness from their Lord, as well as paradises with flowing streams beneath them; they abide therein forever. And a blessed reward for the workers.

[3:137] Generations before you have passed on, therefore, roam the land and see the aftermath of the rejecters.

[3:138] This is clarification for the people as well as guidance and enlightenment for the righteous.

[3:139] And do not waver and do not be saddened, for you are superior once you attain faith.

[3:140] If you are afflicted with an injury, then the other people also suffer injury just like it. Furthermore, these are the days We alternate among people in order for God to distinguish the faithful and to take from them witnesses. Moreover, God does not love the unjust.

[3:141] And God thus purifies the faithful, and annihilates the unfaithful.

[3:142] Do you expect to enter paradise without God distinguishing those who strive among you as well as those who steadfastly persevere?

[3:143] You have longed for death before you met it, now you are facing it and it is right before your eyes.

[3:144] Furthermore, Muhammad was no more than a messenger like messengers before him who have passed on. If he dies or gets killed, would you then turn on your heels and flee? And whoever turns on his heels and flees will not harm God in the least. And God rewards those who are grateful.

[3:145] And no soul dies except with God's permission according to a specific recorded time. Furthermore, whoever wishes the reward of this world, We will give him therefrom and whoever wishes the reward of the Hereafter, We will give him therefrom. And We thus reward those who are grateful.

[3:146] And many prophets fought alongside many godly people in the cause of God; they were not burdened by what afflicted them, nor were they weak nor did they give up. Moreover God loves the patient.

[3:147] And their only utterance was to say, our Lord forgive us our sins and our radical behaviors, and strengthen our foothold and grant us victory over the disbelieving people.

[3:148] Therefore, God granted them the reward of this world as well as the beautiful reward of the Hereafter. Moreover, God loves the do-gooders.

[3:149] O you faithful, if you obey the unfaithful, they will turn you back on your heels and you will end up losers.

[3:150] On the other hand, God is your master. And He is the best supporter.

[3:151] We will soon throw terror into the hearts of the unfaithful because of what they have set up as partners for God without any authorization, and their abode is Hell. And what a miserable abode for the unjust.

[3:152] Furthermore, God has indeed fulfilled His promise, that you defeat them by His leave, however, you showed weakness and argued about matters, and rebelled in spite of seeing what was to your liking. Among you are those who like this world and among you are those who like the Hereafter. He diverted you from them in order to test you. And indeed He has pardoned you. Moreover, God possesses bounty for the faithful.

[3:153] When you fled and paid no attention to anyone, even as the messenger called after you, therefore, He afflicted you with sorrow; sorrow which was worse than your grief over death or what afflicted you before. And God is All Cognizant of what you do.

[3:154] Afterwards, He sent down to you bliss following sorrow in order to give a group of you tranquility. While another group gave priority to themselves and harbored untrue thoughts about God; thoughts of ignorance. They said, do we have control of anything? Say, indeed, all things are controlled by God. They hide in themselves what they do not reveal to you. They say if we were in control of anything, we would have not gotten killed here. Say, even if you were in your homes, indeed, those who are preordained to get killed, would have gotten killed in their beds. And God thus tests what is inside your chests and in order to expose what is in your hearts. And God is All Knowing of the innermost thoughts.

[3:155] Indeed those among you who turned back and fled, the day the two armies met, Satan has duped them because of what they earned. However, God has pardoned them. Indeed God is All Forgiving, Clement.

[3:156] O you faithful, do not be like the unfaithful who said to their brethren when they traveled or fought, had they stayed with us they would not have died or gotten killed; God thus turns this into sorrow in their hearts. Furthermore, God grants life and death. And God is All Seer of what they do.

[3:157] And if you get killed in the cause of God or die, indeed it is forgiveness from God and a mercy better than whatever you collect.

[3:158] And if you die or get killed, indeed to God will be your exodus.

[3:159] Afterwards, with mercy from God, you treated them nicely. And if you were short-tempered and mean-hearted, they would have left your side. Therefore, pardon them and ask forgiveness on their behalf and consult them about matters. Once you made up your mind, then put your trust in God. Surely, God loves those who are trusting.

[3:160] If God helps you, no one can overcome you. And if He abandons you, then who can help you after Him? Moreover, in God the faithful shall trust.

[3:161] No prophet has ever embezzled. If any one embezzles, the embezzlement will face him on the Day of Resurrection. Afterwards, every soul will be repaid for his earnings, and will not suffer any injustice.

[3:162] Is the one who has sought God's approval the same as the one who has deserved God's wrath, and his abode is Gehenna? And what a miserable destiny.

[3:163] They occupy different ranks at God and God is All Seer of what they do.

[3:164] Indeed, God has done the faithful a favor when He appointed a messenger from among them to recite to them His Signs and cleanse them, and to teach them the scripture and wisdom, for they were in manifest straying before this.

[3:165] Yet, when you suffer any hardship, in spite of the fact you afflicted twice as much, you said; where did this come from? Say, this is a consequence of your own doing. Indeed God is All Powerful over all things.

[3:166] And what afflicted you on the day the two armies met was by God's permission and in order to distinguish the faithful,-

[3:167] -and to distinguish those who resorted to hypocrisy. And they were told, come and fight in the cause of God or defend. They said if we knew how to fight, we would have followed you. They were closer to disbelief on that day than belief. They say with their mouths what is not in their hearts. However, God knows well what they conceal.

[3:168] These are the ones who told their brethren, as they stayed behind, had they obeyed us they would not have gotten killed. Say; then repel death from yourselves if you are truthful.

[3:169] And do not reckon that those who get killed in the cause of God are dead. They are indeed alive at their Lord, and being provided for.

[3:170] They rejoice in what God has given them from His bounty; and they will have the good news about those who did not join them, that they also have nothing to fear nor will they grieve.

[3:171] They enjoy a blessing from God and a bounty, and indeed God does not diminish the reward for the faithful.

[3:172] These are the ones who responded to God and the messenger after they suffered an injury. For those who did well among them and were righteous, there is a great recompense.

[3:173] These are the ones whom were told by people that indeed people have mobilized against you, therefore, you shall fear them, but this only increased their faith, and they said our reckoning is with God and He is the best advocate.

[3:174] Then they are showered with a blessing from God and a bounty, evil will not touch them and they seek God's approval. And God is Possessor of infinite bounty.

[3:175] Indeed, Satan frightens his allies, therefore, do not fear them and stay vigilant, if you are faithful.
