Surah Al-Imran Ayat 195 in Arabic Text
English Translation
Here you can read various translations of verse 195
And their Lord responded to them, “Never will I allow to be lost the work of [any] worker among you, whether male or female; you are of one another. So those who emigrated or were evicted from their homes or were harmed in My cause or fought or were killed – I will surely remove from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allah, and Allah has with Him the best reward.”
And their Lord hath accepted of them, and answered them: “Never will I suffer to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female: Ye are members, one of another: Those who have left their homes, or been driven out therefrom, or suffered harm in My Cause, or fought or been slain,- verily, I will blot out from them their iniquities, and admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing beneath;- A reward from the presence of Allah, and from His presence is the best of rewards.”
Their Lord answered the Prayer thus: “I will not suffer the work of any of you, whether male or female, to go to waste; each of you is from the other. Those who emigrated and were driven out from their homesteads and were persecuted in My cause, and who fought and were slain, indeed I shall wipe out their evil deeds from them and shall certainly admit them to the gardens beneath which rivers flow.” This is their reward with their Lord; and with Allah lies the best reward.
So their Lord accepted of them (their supplication and answered them), “Never will I allow to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female. You are (members) one of another, so those who emigrated and were driven out from their homes, and suffered harm in My Cause, and who fought, and were killed (in My Cause), verily, I will remit from them their evil deeds and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise); a reward from Allah, and with Allah is the best of rewards.”
And their Lord hath heard them (and He saith): Lo! I suffer not the work of any worker, male or female, to be lost. Ye proceed one from another. So those who fled and were driven forth from their homes and suffered damage for My cause, and fought and were slain, verily I shall remit their evil deeds from them and verily I shall bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow – A reward from Allah. And with Allah is the fairest of rewards.
Then their Lord responded to them, “I do not waste the deed of any doer among you, any male or female. The one of you is as the other (Literally: some of you from some others). So, the ones who emigrated, and were driven out of their residences, and were hurt in My way, and fought, and were killed, indeed I will definitely expiate them of their odious deeds, and indeed I will definitely cause them to enter Gardens from beneath which Rivers run.” A requital from (the Providence of) Allah; and Allah has in His Providence the fairest requital.
Their Lord has answered them: ‘I will not allow the deeds of any one of you to be lost, whether you are male or female, each is like the other [in rewards]. I will certainly wipe out the bad deeds of those who emigrated and were driven out of their homes, who suffered harm for My cause, who fought and were killed. I will certainly admit them to Gardens graced with flowing streams, as a reward from God: the best reward is with God.’
پس ان کے رب نے ان کی دعا قبول فرمالی کہ تم میں سے کسی کام کرنے والے کے کام کو خواه وه مرد ہو یا عورت میں ہرگز ضائع نہیں کرتا، تم آپس میں ایک دوسرے کے ہم جنس ہو، اس لئے وه لوگ جنہوں نے ہجرت کی اور اپنے گھروں سے نکال دیئے گئے اور جنہیں میری راه میں ایذا دی گئی اور جنہوں نے جہاد کیا اور شہید کئے گئے، میں ضرور ضرور ان کی برائیاں ان سے دور کر دوں گا اور بالیقین انہیں ان جنتوں میں لے جاؤں گا جن کے نیچے نہریں بہہ رہی ہیں، یہ ہے ﺛواب اللہ تعالیٰ کی طرف سے اور اللہ تعالیٰ ہی کے پاس بہترین ﺛواب ہے
Quran 3 Verse 195 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Imran ayat 195, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(3:195) Their Lord answered the Prayer thus: “I will not suffer the work of any of you, whether male or female, to go to waste; each of you is from the other.[139] Those who emigrated and were driven out from their homesteads and were persecuted in My cause, and who fought and were slain, indeed I shall wipe out their evil deeds from them and shall certainly admit them to the gardens beneath which rivers flow.” This is their reward with their Lord; and with Allah lies the best reward.[140]
139. All humans are equal in the sight of God. God does not have separate criteria for judging the male and the female, the master and the slave, the high and the low.
140. It is reported that some non-Muslims came to the Prophet and said that Moses had produced his staff and had been endowed with the miracle of the shining hand see (Surah Al-Aaraf, ayat 108); (Surah TaHa, ayat 22), and that Jesus restored sight to the blind and cured the lepers. Other Prophets had also been granted miracles. What miracles, they enquired, could the Prophet perform? In response the Prophet recited all the verses from (Surah Al-Imran, ayat 190) to the end of this surah, adding that that was what he had brought.
Ibn-Kathir
195. So their Lord accepted of them (their supplication and answered them), “Never will I allow to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female. You are (members) one of another, so those who emigrated and were driven out from their homes, and suffered harm in My cause, and who fought and were killed (in My cause), verily, I will expiate from them their evil deeds and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise); a reward from Allah, and with Allah is the best of rewards.”
Allah said,
(So their Lord accepted of them), answered their invocation. Sa`id bin Mansur recorded that Salamah, a man from the family of Umm Salamah said, “Umm Salamah said, `O Messenger of Allah! Allah does not mention women in connection with Hijrah (Migration).’ Allah sent down the Ayah,
(So their Lord accepted of them (their supplication and answered them), “Never will I allow to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female.)
The Ansar say that Umm Salamah was the first woman to migrate to them.” Al-Hakim collected this Hadith in his Mustadrak, and said, “It is Sahih according to the criteria of Al-Bukhari but they ﴿Al-Bukhari and Muslim﴾ did not collect it”.
Allah’s statement,
(“Never will I allow to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female,) explains the type of answer Allah gave them, stating that no deed of any person is ever lost with Him. Rather, He will completely reward each person for his or her good deeds. Allah’s statement,
(You are (members) one of another) means, you are all equal in relation to gaining My reward. Therefore,
(those who emigrated), by leaving the land of Shirk and migrating to the land of faith, leaving behind their loved ones, brethren, friends and neighbors,
(and were driven out from their homes), when the Mushriks tormented them and forced them to migrate,
(and suffered harm in My cause), for their only wrong, to the people, was that they believed in Allah Alone. In similar Ayat, Allah said,
(and have driven out the Messenger and yourselves because you believe in Allah your Lord!) ﴿60:1﴾, and,
(And they had no fault except that they believed in Allah, the Almighty, Worthy of all praise!)
. Allah’s statement,
(and who fought and were killed (in My cause),) ﴿3:195﴾ refers to the highest rank there is, that one fights in the cause of Allah and dies in the process, with his face covered in dust and blood. It is recorded in the Sahih that a man said,
(‘O Messenger of Allah! If I was killed in Allah’s cause, observing patience, awaiting Allah’s reward, attacking, not retreating, would Allah forgive my sins’ The Prophet said, `Yes.’ The Prophet then asked the man, `What did you ask’ When the man repeated the question, the Prophet said, `Yes, except for the debt, for Jibril conveyed this to me right now’.)
This is why Allah said here,
(verily, I will expiate from them their evil deeds and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow), within Paradise, where there are rivers of various drinks: milk, honey, wine and fresh water. There is what no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard and no heart has ever imagined ﴿of delights in Paradise﴾. Allah’s statement,
(a reward from Allah) testifies to His might, for the Mighty and Most Great only gives tremendous rewards. Allah’s statement,
(and with Allah is the best of rewards.”) for those who perform good deeds.
