Book: The Qurʾān
Chapter: 3 House of ‘Imrān ۞ Āl-‘Imrān
Blurb:
This sūra opens with a pronouncement about the divine origin of the Qur’ān, including its relationship
to the prior scriptures of Jews and Christians. After this come stories of Zachariah, Mary, Jesus and
his disciples, and Abraham as a Muslim. Criticism of Jewish disbelief, exhortation to the believers, and
encouragement in the aftermath of defeat occupy most of the remainder of the sūra.
