Assalamu Alaikum (Peace be upon you)

Welcome to our Powerful Surahs of the Quran audio series, created to make the Quran accessible to everyone…whether you’re a Muslim seeking deeper understanding or simply someone curious about Islam!

Surah Ali Imran Meaning “The Family of Imran,” Surah Ali Imran offers profound insights into steadfast faith and the unity of believers. This Surah highlights the stories of key figures central to both Islamic, Christian traditions, including:

• Imran (Father Of Mary), an important and respected family leader.
• Maryam (Mary), celebrated as a chosen and purified woman,
• ‘Isa (Jesus), whose miraculous birth and divine message are integral to the narrative, and
• Zachariah (Zakariyyah), a revered prophet recognised for his unwavering devotion and as a link between the traditions. (Also mentioned in Judaism)

These people not only hold significant meaning in Islam but also resonate deeply within Christian traditions, inviting listeners from all backgrounds to explore the shared heritage of faith and divine guidance. Zachariah also appears in the Jewish tradition.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• A clear English audio interpretation of its verses (taken from English translations of the Quran)
• A short commentary based on Tafhim al-Qur’an by Syed Abul Ala Maududi discussing the theme and period of revelation. This commentary has been simplified and edited for clarity and ease of listening, while preserving its essential meaning.

Future Surahs: We aim to produce a complete Quran audiobook in English, with each Surah available separately so you can explore at your own pace. In Sha Allah.
