In this Surah, there are a total of 200 verses and it was revealed in Madinah. The Holy Prophet (S) has said that whoever recites Surah Al Imran on Friday, then until the setting of the sun, he will be showered by the Mercy of Allah (S.w.T.) and the angels will beg for his forgiveness.

The Prophet (Sal Allaho alehi wasallam) has also recommended this Surah for those women who are not able to conceive. The Surah should be written using saffron and then given to her to wear as a talisman and by the Will of Allah (S.w.T.) she will conceive.

Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (a.s.) has said that if a person faces hardship in earning his livelihood, he should write this Surah and wear it as a talisman and Allah (S.w.T.) will increase his sustenance greatly. The Imam (a.s.) also said that if anyone recites both Surah al-Baqarah and al-Imran, then these Surahs will come in the shape of clouds on the day of judgement to protect him from the scorching heat.
