2-7. The Cow (Al-Baqarah الْبَقَرة ) verses 174 to 203

  • Summary

  • Allah warns those who hide the truth of His revelations and who trades guidance for misguidance. Allah spells out what true righteousness looks like - the believe in one God, the last day, believing in angels, the books and the prophets, to give charity to relatives in need, orphans and the poor and to pay alms-tax. The law of retaliation is laid out (of blood money), also of wills and bequests upon our deaths, the rules of fasting is elaborated upon and what comprises of excellence in Ramadan, being conscious of God's nearness to us and intimacy during the nights of Ramadan for those who are married. The topic of divorce and the intracities that comes along with it is also laid out. Allah also warn against injustice, spelling out what is true righteousness, etiquette of fighting enemy combatants, resisting oppression, piligramage rituals and Allah's advise to us to pray for best of both worlds (our life on earth and of our life in the hereafter). Truly within just these 29 verses, so much information to guide humankind is laid out. Look out for them as you listen to the recitations.


    Sypnosis from The Clear Quran book by Dr. Mustafa Khattab: This Medinian sûrah, which takes its name from the story of the cow in verses 91–121, details the main concepts of the previous sûrah, with emphasis on the qualities of the believers, disbelievers, and hypocrites; Allah’s power to create and resurrect; the enmity of Satan towards Adam and his descendants; as well as Allah's covenant with Moses and the Children of Israel. Several rulings are given in regards to marital, relationships, bequest, jihad, fasting, pilgrimage, donations, debts, and interest. Unlike the next chapter, which focuses on the Christian perception of Jesus, this sûrah dedicates a sizable portion to Jewish attitudes and practices.
