Surah Al Imran ayat 84 Tafsir Quran 3:84

﴿قُلْ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالْأَسْبَاطِ وَمَا أُوتِيَ مُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ﴾
[ آل عمران: 84]

3:84 Say, "We have believed in Allah and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to Him."

Say to them O Muhammad (s) ‘We believe in God and that which has been revealed to us and that which has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Tribes the latter’s sons; and in that which was given to Moses and Jesus and the prophets from their Lord; we make no division between any of them by believing in some and disbelieving in others; and to Him we submit’ devoting worship sincerely to Him.

O Muhammad, declare in explicit terms: We Muslims believe in Allah with hearts impressed with the image of religious and spiritual virtues. We believe in all that has been imparted to us in the Quran and in all that was imparted to Ibrahim and Isma’il, to Ishaq (Isaac) and Ya’qub (Jacob) and to the tribes of his twelve sons and in what was imparted to Mussa and to ‘Isa. We believe in all that was imparted to all the Prophets from Allah, their Creator. We do not discriminate one from another and we conform our will to His blessed will. He is the heart of our purpose

The Only Valid Religion To Allah is Islam Allah rebukes those who prefer a religion other than the religion that He sent His Books and Messengers with, which is the worship of Allah Alone without partners, to Whom, وَلَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ ( submitted all creatures in the heavens and the earth, ) Willingly, or not.
Allah said in other Ayat, وَللَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا ( And unto Allah (Alone ) falls in prostration whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly.) 13:15, and, أَوَ لَمْيَرَوْاْ إِلَىخَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ يَتَفَيَّأُ ظِلَـلُهُ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَالْشَّمَآئِلِ سُجَّدًا لِلَّهِ وَهُمْوَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَمَا فِى الاٌّرْضِ مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَالْمَلَـئِكَةُ وَهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ يَخَـفُونَ رَبَّهُمْ مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ ( Have they not observed things that Allah has created: (how ) their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making prostration unto Allah, and they are lowly And to Allah prostrate all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, of the moving creatures and the angels, and they are not proud.
They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded) 16: 48-50. Therefore, the faithful believer submits to Allah in heart and body, while the disbeliever unwillingly submits to Him in body only, since he is under Allah's power, irresistible control and mighty kingship that cannot be repelled or resisted.
Waki` reported that Mujahid said that the Ayah, وَلَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا ( While to Him submitted all creatures in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly ), is similar to the Ayah, وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ( And verily, if you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth" Surely, they will say: "Allah" ) 39:38. He also reported that Ibn `Abbas said about, وَلَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا ( while to Him submitted all creatures in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly. ) "When He took the covenant from them." وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ ( And to Him shall they all be returned ) on the Day of Return, when He will reward or punish each person according to his or her deeds. Allah then said, قُلْ ءَامَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا ( Say: "We believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us ) the Qur'an, وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَى إِبْرَهِيمَ وَإِسْمَـعِيلَ وَإِسْحَـقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ( and what was sent down to Ibrahim, Ismai`0l, Ishaq, Ya`qub ) the scriptures and revelation, وَالأَسْبَاطَ ( and the Asbat, ) the Asbat are the twelve tribes who originated from the twelve children of Israel ( Ya`qub ). وَمَا أُوتِىَ مُوسَى وَعِيسَى ( and what was given to Musa, `Isa ) the Tawrah and the Injil, وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ( and the Prophets from their Lord. ) and this encompasses all of Allah's Prophets. لاَ نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ ( We make no distinction between one another among them ) we believe in all of them, وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ ( And to Him (Allah ) we have submitted ( in Islam )) Therefore, faithful Muslims believe in every Prophet whom Allah has sent and in every Book He revealed, and never disbelieve in any of them.
Rather, they believe in what was revealed by Allah, and in every Prophet sent by Allah.
Allah said next, وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الإِسْلَـمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ ( And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, ) whoever seeks other than what Allah has legislated, it will not be accepted from him, وَهُوَ فِى الاٌّخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَـسِرِينَ ( and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. ) As the Prophet said in an authentic Hadith,
«مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُنَا، فَهُوَ رَد»
( Whoever commits an action that does not conform to our matter (religion ) then it is rejected).

(3:84) Say: 'We believe in Allah and what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and to Issac and Jacob and his descendents, and the teachings which Allah gave to Moses and Jesus and to other Prophets. We make no distinction between any of them *72 and to Him do we submit.

Say, "We have believed in Allah and meaning

*72).
They are told that it is not the habit of Muslims either to believe in Prophets and disbelieve in others or to affirm to the truth of some call others false.
Muslims are free from narrow prejudices and chauvinistic loyalties.
The true attitude of Muslims is to bear witness to truth of every Messenger of God, irrespective of where and when he appears.

 

The Only Valid Religion To Allah is Islam Allah rebukes those who prefer a religion other than the religion that He sent His Books and Messengers with, which is the worship of Allah Alone without partners, to Whom, وَلَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ ( submitted all creatures in the heavens and the earth, ) Willingly, or not.
Allah said in other Ayat, وَللَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا ( And unto Allah (Alone ) falls in prostration whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly.) 13:15, and, أَوَ لَمْيَرَوْاْ إِلَىخَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ يَتَفَيَّأُ ظِلَـلُهُ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَالْشَّمَآئِلِ سُجَّدًا لِلَّهِ وَهُمْوَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَمَا فِى الاٌّرْضِ مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَالْمَلَـئِكَةُ وَهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ يَخَـفُونَ رَبَّهُمْ مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ ( Have they not observed things that Allah has created: (how ) their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making prostration unto Allah, and they are lowly And to Allah prostrate all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, of the moving creatures and the angels, and they are not proud.
They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded) 16: 48-50. Therefore, the faithful believer submits to Allah in heart and body, while the disbeliever unwillingly submits to Him in body only, since he is under Allah's power, irresistible control and mighty kingship that cannot be repelled or resisted.
Waki` reported that Mujahid said that the Ayah, وَلَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا ( While to Him submitted all creatures in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly ), is similar to the Ayah, وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ( And verily, if you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth" Surely, they will say: "Allah" ) 39:38. He also reported that Ibn `Abbas said about, وَلَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا ( while to Him submitted all creatures in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly. ) "When He took the covenant from them." وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ ( And to Him shall they all be returned ) on the Day of Return, when He will reward or punish each person according to his or her deeds. Allah then said, قُلْ ءَامَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا ( Say: "We believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us ) the Qur'an, وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَى إِبْرَهِيمَ وَإِسْمَـعِيلَ وَإِسْحَـقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ( and what was sent down to Ibrahim, Ismai`0l, Ishaq, Ya`qub ) the scriptures and revelation, وَالأَسْبَاطَ ( and the Asbat, ) the Asbat are the twelve tribes who originated from the twelve children of Israel ( Ya`qub ). وَمَا أُوتِىَ مُوسَى وَعِيسَى ( and what was given to Musa, `Isa ) the Tawrah and the Injil, وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ( and the Prophets from their Lord. ) and this encompasses all of Allah's Prophets. لاَ نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ ( We make no distinction between one another among them ) we believe in all of them, وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ ( And to Him (Allah ) we have submitted ( in Islam )) Therefore, faithful Muslims believe in every Prophet whom Allah has sent and in every Book He revealed, and never disbelieve in any of them.
Rather, they believe in what was revealed by Allah, and in every Prophet sent by Allah.
Allah said next, وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الإِسْلَـمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ ( And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, ) whoever seeks other than what Allah has legislated, it will not be accepted from him, وَهُوَ فِى الاٌّخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَـسِرِينَ ( and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. ) As the Prophet said in an authentic Hadith, «مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُنَا، فَهُوَ رَد» ( Whoever commits an action that does not conform to our matter (religion ) then it is rejected).

Allah then proceeds to explain the status of faith so that this serves for them as an indication to faith, saying: ( Say ) O Muhammad: ( We believe in Allah ) alone without any partner ( and that which is revealed unto us ) and in that which the Qur’an has revealed to us ( and that which was revealed unto Abraham ) and we believe in Abraham and his Scripture ( and Ishmael ) and his Scripture ( and Isaac ) and his Scripture ( and Jacob ) and his Scripture ( and the tribes ) the Children of Jacob and their scriptures, ( and that which was vouchsafed unto Moses ) and we believe in Moses and his Scripture ( and Jesus ) and his Scripture ( and the Prophets ) and we believe in all the prophets and their scriptures ( from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them ) we do not disbelieve in any of the prophets; it is also said this means: we do not disassociate any one of them from Allah in relation to prophethood and Islam, ( and unto Him we have surrendered ) we acknowledge His worship and divine Oneness and we are sincere to him in Religion.

Say (O Muhammad SAW): "We believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us, and what was sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob) and Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)] and what was given to Musa (Moses), 'Iesa (Jesus) and the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between one another among them and to Him (Allah) we have submitted (in Islam)."
