A Guidance For The God-conscious

Hudallil Muttaqin - A Guidance for the God-conscious.  It is with excitement that I enter Al-Baqarah (The Cow).

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

1. Alif. Lam. Mim.
2. This is the Divine Writ; let there be no doubt about it, is a guidance for all the God-conscious;
3. Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend on others out of what We have provided for them;
4. And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee (O Prophet), and sent before thy time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereinafter.

Al-Baqarah is the longest surah of the Qur'an and in it occurs the longest verse, verse 282.  And in it too is, considered and believed to be, the very last revelation the Prophet received, shortly before his death, verse 281:

"And be aware of the Day on which you shall be brought back unto God, whereupon every human being shall be repaid in full for what he has earned, and none shall be wronged."

My note:
None shall be wronged.

  1. Verse 281 answers question on "why here", about being responsible for what we do and don't do however small they might be. In childhood days, juz means more than surah.... Even when we say juz amma as Jahamma...., we never argue on the correctness of pronounciation then.

    This is the longest of all surahs in our Holy Qur'an which in itself is complete as here stand all the Revelations, and notable ones are:
    - The Holy call to worship Allah SWT & Allah alone.
    - The Divine Laws in detail.
    - Characterisitcs of believers, disbelievers & hypocrites.
    - The creation of the Universe, mankind, heaven & earth.
    - Reward of eternal bliss of Paradise & severe punishment in Damn Hell.

    MAY ALLAH SWT BLESS US ALL WITH THE VERY BEST, AMIN.
