3:1 Alif Lām Mīm[1].

3:2 Allah: None has the right to be worshiped except Him, the Ever-Living, the All-Sustaining.

3:3 He has sent down to you the Book[1] in truth, confirming what came before it. And He sent down[2] the Torah and the Gospel

3:4 previously, as guidance for people, and He sent down the Criterion [between right and wrong]. But those who reject the verses of Allah will suffer severe punishment, and Allah is All-Mighty, Capable of Retribution.

3:5 Indeed, there is nothing hidden from Allah on earth or in heaven.

3:6 It is He Who shapes you in the wombs as He wills. None has the right to be worshiped except Him, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

3:7 It is He Who has sent down to you the Book. In it are definite verses, which are the foundation of the Book; while others are ambiguous. Those with deviant hearts follow the ambiguous verses, seeking discord and seeking their [false] interpretation. But no one knows their [true] interpretation except Allah. And those who are well-grounded in knowledge say, “We believe in it. It is all from our Lord[1].” None will take heed except people of understanding.

3:8 “Our Lord, do not let our hearts deviate[1] after You have guided us, and grant us Your mercy; for You are the Munificent Bestower.

3:9 Our Lord, You will surely gather all people for a Day[1] about which there is no doubt; for Allah does not break His promise.”
