English Translation of Al-Quran
[03] Surah Al-Imran [The Family of Imran]
Ayat 3. It is Allah Who has sent down the Book (the Qur’an) to you (Muhammad 
[SAWW](PBUH), with truth, confirming what came before it. And he sent down the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).
Ayat 4. Foretime, as a guidance to mankind, And He sent down the criterion [of judgement between right and wrong (this Qur’an)]. Truly, those who disbelieve in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, for them there is a severe torment; and Allah is All-Mighty, All-Able of Retribution.
Tafseer of Surah Al-Imran Ayat 03 & 04. It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (of judgment between right and wrong). In some editions the break between verses 3 and 4 occurs here in the middle of the sentence, but in the edition of Hafiz 'Uthman , followed by the Egyptian Concordance Path al Rahman, the break occurs at the word Furqan. In verse divisions our classicists have mainly followed rhythm. As the word Furqan from this point of view is parallel to the word Intiq a m, which ends the next verse, I have accepted the verse-division at Furqan as more in consonance with Qur'anic rhythm. It makes no real difference to the numbering of the verses, as there is only a question of whether one line should go into verse 3 or verse 4. Criterion: Furqan: for meaning see 2:53. 4. Then those who reject Faith in the Signs of Allah will suffer the severest penalty, and Allah is Exalted in Might, Lord of Retribution.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Verily, Allah elevates some people with this Qur'an and abases others.''
[Muslim Book 04, Chapter 138, Hadith # 1780]
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Imran Ayat 4. Foretime, as a guidance to mankind, And He sent down the criterion [of judgement between right and wrong (this Qur’an)]” Only such people will be elevated who act upon the teachings of the Qur'an and abstain from what is forbidden by Allah. The Muslims of the early centuries of Islam were blessed with great honour by Allah because they loved and applied the Qur'an. Because of this meaningful attachment with the Qur'an, they made great achievements in religious and worldly spheres. Those who neglected the teachings of Islam will be disgraced and humiliated. May Allah guide and enable us to re-establish our contact with the Qur'an so that we can regain our past glory. Exaltation and humiliation mentioned in the Hadith is bound to happen in both this life and the Hereafter.
