Surah Al-Imran is the 3rd chapter of the Qur’an. The surah titled in English means “The Family of Imran” and it consists of 200 verses.

ABOUT THIS SURAH:
The name of the Surah is taken from v.33 where the “house” or family of Imran is mentioned. Imran is the father of Maryam who’s son is Isa (عليه السلام).
From v35-49 it recounts the early life of Maryam and Isa (عليه السلام) his birth and miracles he performed.
The surah also covers events related to the battle of Uhud and the battle of Badr, which were two major wars between the Muslims and he Meccans.
The first battle was Badr where they were victorious, the second was Uhud where they suffered a defeat. The defeat came at the cost of a group archers abandoned their post to loot thereby creating a vulnerability in their defense that was exploited. The surah comments on this issue of cowardice, attachment to worldly attachment, and hypocrisy.

“Do not lose hope, nor be sad. You will surely be victorious if you are true in Faith.” And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it].”
