Surah Āl ʿImrān — Hastening to Forgiveness, Attributes of the Righteous, and Comfort for the Believers
Verses 3:133–140 · Page 67
📖 About This Page
Page 67 opens with an urgent call for believers to hasten toward the forgiveness of their Lord and a Paradise whose width encompasses the heavens and the earth, prepared for the righteous. It explicitly outlines the virtues of these believers: spending in ease and hardship, restraining anger, pardoning others, seeking immediate repentance upon sinning, and not persisting in wrong actions.
The narrative then offers solace and vital perspective to the Muslim community following trials, urging them to travel the earth and reflect upon history. Reassuring the believers, Allah commands them not to weaken or grieve, emphasizing that ultimate moral and spiritual superiority rests with them if they remain steadfast, and reminding them that trial and varying fortunes are alternated among people to distinguish true faith and select martyrs.
Alhamdulillah, this structured sequence provides an authentic, chronological path to study and preserve these critical signs and records of faith.
🕌 Arabic Text (Page 67)
🌍 English Translation — Sahih International
133. And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden [i.e., Paradise] as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous
134. Who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people – and Allah loves the doers of good;
135. And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves [by transgression], remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins – and who can forgive sins except Allah? – and [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know.
136. Those – their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow [in Paradise], wherein they will abide eternally; and excellent is the reward of the [righteous] workers.
137. Similar situations [as yours] have passed on before you, so proceed throughout the earth and observe how was the end of those who denied.
138. This [Qur'ān] is a clear statement to [all] the people and a guidance and instruction for those conscious of Allah.
139. So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers.
140. If a wound should touch you – there has already touched the [opposing] people a wound 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 –
