Al Imran

Al Imran is the <a href="/facts/List_of_chapters_in_the_Quran/pQega6Hs">third chapter</a> (<a href="/facts/S%C5%ABrah/SlvRy3DG">sūrah</a>) of the <a href="/facts/Quran/39rkStko">Quran</a> with two hundred verses (<a href="/facts/%C4%80y%C4%81t/ohBUHBQ2">āyāt</a>).
This chapter is named after the family of Imran (Joachim), which includes <a href="/facts/Joachim/Wbsjcv72">Imran</a>, <a href="/facts/Saint_Anne/UwAeAH4b">Saint Anne</a> (wife of Imran), <a href="/facts/Mary_in_Islam/SXyls8AY">Mary</a>, and <a href="/facts/Jesus_in_Islam/xPo4UDS8">Jesus</a>.
Regarding the timing and contextual background of the <a href="/facts/Asb%C4%81b_al-nuz%C5%ABl/77jE7pjL">asbāb al-nuzūl</a> or circumstances of revelation, the chapter is believed to have been either the second or third of the <a href="/facts/Medinan_surah/fWrk7chx">Medinan surahs</a>, as it references both the events of the battles of <a href="/facts/Battle_of_Badr/gFzq2WWU">Badr</a> and <a href="/facts/Battle_of_Uhud/uQCf8Kht">Uhud</a>. Almost all of it also belongs to the third <a href="/facts/Hijri_year/YLhMRWU1">Hijri year</a>, though a minority of its verses might have been revealed during the visit of the deputation of the <a href="/facts/Christian_community_of_Najran/3KI0LPuW">Christian community of Najran</a> at the <a href="/facts/Event_of_the_mubahala/jQ0FLef7">event of the mubahala</a>, which occurred around the 10th year of the Hijrah.
