Suratul Baqarah

Few things you should know about this beautiful surah.

It was reveal in Madina, it’s said to be the first surah revealed after Hijrah,

It’s the second surah in the arrangement from the top,

It’s the longest surah in the Quran consisting of 286 Verses 6201 words and 25500 letters (Ibn khathir).

It’s one of the most praised surah in the Quran, it has been praised almost above any surah,

Now do not get confused here, It has been praised doesn’t mean it’s the best. Suratul Fatiha remains the greatest, while Yasin is the heart of the Quran. But this is the most praised.

The surah addresses a wide range of topics, including laws, stories of Prophets like Adam, Ibrahim and Musa.
But the major theme of this surah is guidance.

The Beauty of Suratul Baqarah.

1) In one Hadith the Prophet (S.A.W) said: “Recite the Quran for it will intercede for you on the day of judgement,....“ then he said:”recite the two Fragrant or blessed surahs” and he named Suratul Baqarah And Al-Imran,...

“....because they will come on the day of judgment like two clouds or two flocks of birds and they will argue in front of Allah that those who used to recite them should go to jannah....”

And he ended the Hadith by making emphasis on “read suratul Baqarah.”

Commentary on this Hadith.
1) The Quran will intercede for the person who regularly recite it.

2) Suratul Baqarah And Al-Imran are a blessing for us, in the sense they will come in form of birds to save us

In another Hadith he said: “Holding on to Suratul Baqarah is Barakah (Blessing) And when you abandon it, it becomes a thing of regret for you, when you hold on to it evil people cannot over come you.”

Commentary on this Hadith.
1) The type of blessing this surah brings includes, increase in wealth, health and all that is humans desire.
2) Abandoning it causes you to regret either here or in the hereafter.
3) Evils from jinnkind and mankind won’t over come you.

In another Hadith The Prophet said:
“Do not turn your houses in graves, verily Shaytan does not enters a house where Suratul Baqarah is been recited.”

Collected from [Muslim, Tirmidhi and Musnad of Imam Ahmad]

Many scholars have reported that there’s no surah like Baqarah for the following reasons....

1) Its comprehensiveness.

2) It has in it the best Verse in the entire Quran (Ayatul Qursiyy)

3) In It Allah gave details on how to be guided towards success.

4) In it there two verses carrying a very beautiful dua, and it’s encouraged that everyone reads it morning and evening.

Verses number 285 and 286.
See the translation below.

“The Noble Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him by his Lord, and so do the believers; all have accepted faith in Allah and His angels and His Books and His Noble Messengers; saying,......”

....“We do not make any distinction, in believing, between any of His Noble Messengers”; and they said, “We hear, and we obey; Your forgiveness be granted, O our Lord, and towards You is our return.”

Verse no 285.

“Allah does not burden anyone, except with something within its capacity; beneficial for it is the virtue it earned, and harmful for it is the evil it earned; “Our Lord! Do not seize us if we forget or are mistaken; our Lord!....”

”.... And do not place on us a heavy burden (responsibility) as You did on those before us; our Lord! And do not impose on us a burden, for which we do not have the strength; and pardon us – and forgive us ....”

”.....and have mercy on us – You are our Master, therefore help us against the disbelievers.”

Verse 286.

These verses are so beautiful that you ask for forgiveness from sins you do intentionally and unintentionally.

Recite Suratul Baqarah frequently!! That popular saying of “my village people are after me” they won’t see you cause Allah will protect you, that’s among the blessings of Baqarah.

If you can’t read it yourself, get a recording and play it from time to time, it protects your house and you from thieves, and any form of evil.
