2-1. The Cow (Al-Baqarah الْبَقَرة) verses 1 to 29

This episode contains the first 29 verses of Surah Al-Baqarah only. Insyallah, I will try to complete them part by part as this is a very long surah. The longest (286 verses) out of the 114 surahs in the Quran.

The messages for this episode covers revelations on Qualities of the Believers, Qualities of the Disbelievers, Qualities of the Hypocrites, Hypocrites' Example, Order to Worship God Alone, The Challenge of the Quran, Reward of the Believers, Wisdom Behind Parables and God's Creation.

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.
