Blurb:

This sūra is devoted almost entirely to the story of Moses (Q20.9–101). It features accounts of his early life, call to be a messenger, struggles with Pharaoh, exodus from Egypt, and finally the episode of ‘the calf.’ Q20 concludes with sections on the Last Day and the covenant with Adam. It receives its title from the two letters with which it begins.
