Surah Āl ʿImrān — Sincere Devotion, The Honored Lines of Prophethood, and Divine Provisions of Maryam
Verses 3:30–37 · Page 54
📖 About This Page
Page 54 pivots into deep reminders of accountability and the true manifestation of loving Allah, which is anchored strictly in following the Messenger. It transitions beautifully to establish the selection of specific individuals and families—including Adam, Nuh, the family of Ibrahim, and the family of 'Imran—highlighting them over the worlds as an interconnected, continuous chain of spiritual excellence and prophethood.
This historical narrative highlights the solemn vow of the wife of 'Imran, who dedicated her unborn child entirely to divine service. It sets the foundation for the birth of Maryam (Mary), her safe protection from Satan, and her miraculous upbringing under the guardianship of Prophet Zakariyya (Zechariah), who witnesses firsthand the unmeasured, transcendent provisions bestowed upon her within the sanctuary.
Alhamdulillah, our structured journey through this noble Surah continues to clarify the path toward sincere devotion and conscious alignment with divine laws.
🕌 Arabic Text (Page 54)
🌍 English Translation — Sahih International
30. The Day every soul will find what it has done of good present [before it] and what it has done of evil, it will wish that between itself and that [evil] was a great distance. And Allah warns you of Himself, and Allah is Kind to [His] servants."
31. Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."
32. Say, "Obey Allah and the Messenger." But if they turn away – then indeed, Allah does not like the disbelievers.
33. Indeed, Allah chose Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of 'Imran over the worlds
34. Descendants, some of them from others. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
35. [Mention, O Muhammad], when the wife of 'Imran said, "My Lord, indeed I have pledged to You what is in my womb, consecrated [for Your service], so accept this from me. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing."
36. But when she delivered her, she said, "My Lord, I have delivered a female." And Allah was most knowing of what she delivered, and the male is not like the female. "And I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of Allah]."
37. So her Lord accepted her with good acceptance and caused her to grow in a good manner and put her in the care of Zechariah. Every time Zechariah entered upon her in the prayer chamber, he found with her provision. He said, "O Mary, from where is this [coming] to you?" She said, "It is from Allah. Indeed, Allah provides for whom He wills without account."

Idghām (Assimilation / Blending):
Observe the blending with nasalization (Idghām bi Ghunnah) when Tanween meets the letter Meem in expressions like baʿīdan-wa... (verse 30) or ghafūrun-raḥīm (verse 31) where complete assimilation occurs.
Qalqalah (Echo Sound):
Pronounce the letter Ba with a distinct rebounding echo sound when encountering a sukoon state or pausing, as observed inside the middle of words like muḥarraran if letters match.
