Quran 3:142 — Aal-i-Imraan, verse 142
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Did you think you would enter the Garden without God first proving which of you would struggle for His cause and remain steadfast?
أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَنْ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَعْلَمِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا مِنْكُمْ وَيَعْلَمَ الصَّابِرِينَ
am ḥasib'tum an tadkhulū l-janata walammā yaʿlami l-lahu alladhīna jāhadū minkum wayaʿlama l-ṣābirīna
