Al Imran
Encyclopedia : A : AL : ALI : Al Imran
Surat 'āl-Imrān (Arabic: آل عمران ) ("The Family of Amram")[link] is the 3rd chapter of the Qur'an with two hundred verses. Imraan, the Muslim equivalent of Amram, is the father of Mūsā (Moses) and Hārūn (Aaron) who was also spoken about in Judeo-Christian tradition. The chapter was revealed in Medina and is either the second or third in Medinan revelation. Almost all of it also belongs to the 3rd year of the Hijrah with the possible exception of verse 61 which mentions Mubāhalah and therefore might have been revealed during the visit of the Najrān Christian deputation which was occurred in the 10th year of the Hijrah. Evidence for that theory is, however, scant. This chapter primarily focuses on the departure of prophethood from the Mosaic dispensation.
The Sura has two major messages each discussed in one of two sections:
The first section, [Torah and the Gospel. ([Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes (Nevi'im), and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam)." ([]) Instructing to remain pious till death.
The second section, verses []) Asking to unite and not hate.Culminating with;
