Surah Āl ʿImrān — Distinguishing Believers from Hypocrites, the Noble Status of Martyrs, and Complete Reliance on Allah
Verses 3:166–173 · Page 72
📖 About This Page
Page 72 continues examining the aftermath of the Battle of Uhud, explaining that the trials and suffering experienced when the two armies met were permitted by Allah to clearly distinguish true believers from hypocrites. It exposes the hollow excuses of hypocrites who avoided combat and spoke deceitfully about their believing brothers.
Crucially, the verses elevate the status of those killed in the path of Allah, proclaiming that they are not dead but alive with their Lord, receiving divine provision, rejoicing in His bounty, and looking forward to welcoming those who have not yet joined them. The page concludes with a powerful testament to the faithful who responded to Allah and His Messenger despite injury—declarations that only increased their trust as they affirmed: "Sufficient for us is Allah, and He is the best Disposer of affairs."
Alhamdulillah, this structured sequence provides an authentic, chronological path to study and preserve these critical signs and records of faith.
🕌 Arabic Text (Page 72)
🌍 English Translation — Sahih International
166. And what struck you on the day the two armies met [at Uhud] was by permission of Allah that He might make evident the [true] believers
167. And that He might make evident those who are hypocrites. For it was said to them, "Come, fight in the way of Allah or [at least] defend." They said, "If we had known [there would be] fighting, we would have followed you." They were nearer to disbelief that day than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allah is most knowing of what they conceal –
168. Those who said about their brothers while sitting [at home], "If they had obeyed us, they would not have been killed." Say, "Then prevent death from yourselves, if you should be truthful."
169. And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision,
170. Rejoicing in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounty, and they receive good tidings about those [to be martyred] after them who have not yet joined them – that there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
171. They receive good tidings of favor from Allah and bounty and [of the fact] that Allah does not allow the reward of believers to be lost –
172. Those [believers] who responded to Allah and the Messenger after injury had struck them. For those who did good among them and feared Allah is a great reward –
173. Those to whom people [i.e., hypocrites] said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs."
