The Qur'an (Arabic Edition with English Translation) - Surah 3 - Al Imran

Surat ?l ?Imr?n (The House of Joachim) is the third surah of the Qur'an. In Islam, Imran is believed to be the father of Maryam (the mother of Jesus). The chapter is notable for attributing feminine origins to humankind. In addition to this it states that some Quranic verses are allegorical and some are to be understood by others. It also features a disclaimer against misrepresenting the allegorical verses as factual, and asserts that a special set of people, those firmly rooted in knowledge, are to be consulted.
