2-9. The Cow (Al-Baqarah الْبَقَرة ) verses 234 to 260

  • Summary

  • We will hear more of God's commands on marriage and divorce; what to do and not to do as a righteous believer of God's law. We will hear for the first time in the Quran, the story of Prophet Samuel appointing Saul as king of the Israelites despite objections from the Israelites chiefs. Saul's army was tested by God with a drink from a river and God gives victory over Goliath and his warriors through David, who was made king and prophet. In this episode, we also get to hear revelations about Jesus, son of Mary and how he is supported by the holy spirit by Allah. Other themes on spending in God's way, believing in one true God and of free will in accepting Islam are mentioned here in the Quran. Last but the least, the ending of this episode, we will get to hear two interesting stories. One, about Abraham and the arrogant king who questioned God's power to give life and cause death and secondly, the story of Ezra, whom God caused to die for a hundred years and bringing him back to life.

    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.
