Surah 3 of 114
Aal-e-Imran
200 ayat
IntroIbn Kathir on this surah
Surah Al Imran was revealed in Al-Madinah, as evident by the fact that the first eighty-three Ayat in it relate to the delegation from Najran that arrived in Al-Madinah on the ninth year of Hijrah (632 CE). We will elaborate on this subject when we explain the Ayah about the Mubahalah (3:61) in this Surah, Allah willing. We should also state that we mentioned the virtues of Surah Al Imran along with the virtues of Surah Al-Baqarah in the beginning of the Tafsir of Surah Al-Baqarah.
