Book: The Qurʾān
Chapter: 2 The Cow ۞ Al-Baqara
Blurb:
By far the longest sūra, it includes accounts of Adam’s fall, Moses and Pharaoh, Israel’s disobedience,
and the religion of Abraham and his building of God’s ‘House,’ toward which prayer is now directed.
Instruction on a variety of topics occupies most of its second half (on food, retaliation, wills, fasting,
fighting, pilgrimage, marriage, divorce, usury, almsgiving, and prayer).
