Praise be to Allah! Explanation of Suratul
Baqarah (Chapter 2) has come to an end. It seems suitable that we
should review once again, the topics and their meanings mentioned in this
Chapter.
In the beginning of this Chapter, guidance and
success of the mankind, and different human classes were mentioned. Immediately
after it, Deputyship of Adam (peace be upon him), history of the Children of
Israel, important and necessary conditions and circumstances of Abraham’s
(peace be upon him) Religious Belief were explained, so that the Muslims should
take warning from those errors and should not involve in such evils, which were
reasons of the destruction of ancient nations.
After teaching distinction among lawful and
unlawful, good and evil, a collective concept of goodness was given. And
problems of social life were discussed, for example, the law of retaliation and
the last will etc. Along with it, teachings about a Fast, Pilgrimage and Jihad
were delivered. Then intention was drawn unto important matters of family life,
for example; marriage, divorce, ‘iddat (the term of probation
incumbent upon a woman in consequence of a dissolution of marriage either by
divorce or by the death of her husband), education of children, rights of
husband and wife, and other concerning matters.
Then after describing from the history of the
Children of Israel, Prophet David (peace be upon him), incident of Saul and
Goliath, some points of advice and exhortation were produced. After ‘Aayatul-Kursii (a
great verse of this Chapter), reality of Belief and Disbelief was explained,
and in this connection, some occurrences in the blessed life of Messenger
Abraham (peace be upon him) were described.
In the last part of the Chapter, particular
attention was drawn towards “Spending in the Way of Allah”, and in this regard,
many examples were given.
The usury was determined as forbidden and it
was commanded that the writing and evidence are necessary for the purpose of
honesty and elegance in trade.
The Chapter ended at important Prayers, which
have been mentioned in the previous lesson.
