2-6. The Cow (Al-Baqarah الْبَقَرة ) verses 153 to 173 The Clear Quran
-
- Islam
In this episode, God reminds us to have patience in difficult times. We are to believe that those who are martyed in the cause of God are still alive though we perceive it not. And God will certainly test us with a touch of fear, famine, loss of property, life and crops. So, we need to be patient in difficult times. We will also hear the ritual of pilgrimage between the two hills, God's great signs of His creation of the heavens and the earth and the great sin of associating others with Him. We are given the scenario of people in hellfire who are greatly remorseful, disowning each other, wishing to have a second chance. God also gives a warning against Satan, as he is our greatest enemy. God informed us not to blindly follow the faith of our forefathers who does not believe in submitting to only one God who is our creator. God gives example of disbelievers who are willfully deaf, dumb and blind. Towards the end of this episode, you can hear God's commands on forbidden foods for Muslims such as carrion (which is decaying flesh of dead animals), blood and swine.
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.
