Al ImranSurat 'āl-Imrān ("The Family of Amram") is the 3rd sura of the Qur'an with 200 ayat. Imran, the Muslim equivalent of Amram, is the father of Mūsā (Moses) and Hārūn (Aaron) whom was also spoken about in Judeo-Christian tradition. The chapter was revealed in Medina and is either the second or third in Medinan revelation. Almost all of it also belongs to the 3rd year of the Hijrah with the possible exception of verse 61 which mentions Mubāhalah and therefore might have been revealed during the visit of the Najrān Christian deputation which was occurred in the 10th year of the Hijrah. Evidence for that theory is, however, scant. This chapter primarily focuses on the departure of prophethood from the Mosaic dispensation. Imran
