The eight bows of the third part consisted of Surah Baqarah, and the ninth bow begins with Surah
Aal Imran.
This is also one of the longest surahs of the Holy Quran. Since it describes the story of Hazrat Imran's family; Therefore, it was named 'Aal Imran' accordingly.
There is a degree of similarity in the subjects of these two surahs, the Prophet himself calling these two surahs 'Zahraween' (bright things or sun and moon) also shows the compatibility between them.
In addition, in these two surahs, the people of the book are addressed, but in Surah Baqarah, most of the speech was towards the Jews, while in Aal Imran, the main address is to the Christians. Also, that both surahs are started with 'alm' from the letters of the verses and the truthfulness of the Qur'an has been clarified in the beginning of both surahs.
This Surah began to be revealed in the background of an event. of the Christians of Najran A large delegation of sixty people came to Madinah to meet the Holy Prophet. These people exaggerated Jesus from his position.
Sometimes they say that he is Allah, sometimes they say that he is the son of Allah and sometimes they say that he is a part of the triangle of Godhead (Father, Mother and Son).
The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) replied to them in Muscat and said: Allah is living and eternal, and death cannot befall him, while death will befall Jesus (peace be upon him). A son is similar to his father, while Isa (peace be upon him) does not resemble Allah Almighty, Allah does not eat and drink, while Jesus (peace be upon him) eats and drinks.
Nothing is hidden from Allah in the heights of the heavens and in the recesses of the earth, while countless things are hidden from Jesus. At this they became incomparable. In the beginning, he explained the oneness of Allah and the truthfulness of the Holy Quran, Torah and Injeel and warned the deniers of Allah's verses with severe punishment.
Explained the extent of divine knowledge. Nature's creative masterpiece described the preparation stage of man in the mother's wombAnd he said that the Holy Qur'an was revealed by Allah, in which there are verses with firm and clear meaning and there are analogies.
And there is fitoor in the mind, they keep trying to interpret the analogies wrongly and to reach their meaning. While the beloved servants of Allah, instead of exploring the truth of the verses of analogy, focus on the verses of the chapters.
They declare that this entire word is from Allah and we believe in it regardless of whether our intellect can comprehend it or not.
So words like the word of Allah and the soul in the Qur'an are of the type of similitudes, building a building of beliefs on the basis of these similitudes is nothing but making a pattern on water.
The proofs of monotheism and faith are very clear, they can only be denied by a person who is completely blind to insight۔
