3. Sūrat Āli ʿImrān
٣۔ سُورَةُ آل عِمرَان
Similar situations ˹as yours˺ have passed on before you, so proceed throughout the earth and observe how was the end of those who denied.
قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ سُنَنٌ فَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ
This ˹Qur'an˺ is a clear statement to ˹all˺ the people and a guidance and instruction for those conscious of Allah.
هَٰذَا بَيَانٌ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَمَوْعِظَةٌ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are ˹true˺ believers.
وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنْتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ
If an injury should touch you - there has already touched the ˹opposing˺ people a injury similar to it. And these days ˹of varying conditions˺ We alternate among the people so that Allah may make evident those who believe and ˹may˺ take to Himself from among you martyrs - and Allah does not like the wrongdoers -
إِنْ يَمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌ فَقَدْ مَسَّ الْقَوْمَ قَرْحٌ مِثْلُهُ ۚ وَتِلْكَ الْأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنْكُمْ شُهَدَاءَ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ
And that Allah may purify the believers ˹through trials˺ and destroy the disbelievers.
وَلِيُمَحِّصَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَيَمْحَقَ الْكَافِرِينَ
