Virtues and Blessings of Surah al-Baqarah
Assalamualaikum Friend,
The second surah of the Quran, the largest in length, revealed over several years in the Madinan life of the Prophet (sa), Surat al-Baqarah is special in many ways. Although all surahs of the Quran are miraculous and of divine origin, the Prophet (sa) singled out some of them and told us of their different virtues and blessings.
Introduction to the Quran
Surat al-Fatihah is the introduction to the Quran. As such, Surat al-Baqarah can be regarded as its first chapter. In this surah, Allah (swt) introduces us to the Quran, and tells us about three different types of people – those who will benefit from the guidance of the Quran, those who won’t, and those who are only pretending to be people of the Quran. The rest of the surah is a beautiful blend of history, life lessons, and instructions.
