Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Surah Al Baqarah the surah of the cow, the special yellow cow. Why this longest surah in the Quran named the surah of the cow? Well, let's discuss, we need to understand some background and some context. Our souls that Allahu alayhi wa sallam his in Medina el munawwara. There are three Jewish tribes in Madina munawwara by no means are benezia and Ben Walker a law. They were people off the book and El keytab people have the Scripture, but there are all sorts of Allahu alayhi wa sallam was experiencing a lot of difficulties with them. And so Allah revealed Surah Al Baqarah, here in Medina, reminding these Jewish tribes about the stories of Daniel Israel, he with
Musa alayhis salaam, in the hope that these people will realize the errors and maybe learn from the mistakes of the people of the past. Thus, this longest surah in the Noble Quran was revealed. It has the greatest verse in the Quran ayatul kursi, verse 255. It has the longest verse in the noble or an ayah. Today in verse 282 and SubhanAllah. It took over a decade for it to be revealed. It started in early Medina and it contains the last revelation to mankind. The last verse, what the coup Yeoman Raja una de la la fear the day when you are going to meet up with a loss of Hannah who is either verse 281. There are many, many stories in Surah Al Baqarah, the story of Adam alayhis salam and his
creation, how Ruth and Ruth story of Sulaiman alayhis salaam, Ibrahim alayhis salam in his mareel, building the Kaaba together the story of David and Goliath, many, many stories. But why was this surah named after the story of Musa alayhis salaam, his people and the ordering of the slaughter of a cow? Why that story specifically, we will discuss, we find that majority of the MLM are of the opinion that the names of the surahs were chosen by the lawsuits that are lost while he was selling them. This was something via revelation that he told the Sahaba that this surah is called such and such, whereas there are some older man who state that No, no no rod, the majority of the surahs
Professor of Law while he was sent him informed the Sahaba about its name, and some of them the Sahaba. They were the ones who use the own reasoning he had, and they chose certain names. But when it comes to Surah, Al Baqarah, everyone agrees that it was called Surah Baqarah by none other than the results for a long while he was telling himself while hamdulillah so what is so important about this story here, the story of Moosa, his people and the slaughter of a cow. What's the story with this story? We find that Musa alayhis salam, and coddle Quran and yakun li Moosa and the Quran was almost about Musa alayhis salam, so many stories about him in the Noble Quran, masa and Haider masa
and fairground masa and his people, most are saving his people Moosa as a youngster so many times 136 times his name is mentioned in the novel or an Allah mentions this story in Surah Al Baqarah, only plus minus eight verses. The story covers eight verses, but the name of the surah was taken from this from the story. Allah states, what is called mo Salah ami when Musa alayhis salam said to his people in La Jolla, morrocan, Allah orders you people, and Dez Bahu Baccarat that you must slaughter a cow, although they responded at that death is una who's one? Are you making fun of us? Are you making a mockery of us? Are you playing games with us called ooh biLlahi an akuna Minal Jia
Helene Musashi, Sam said, I seek protection in a law. I seek refuge in a law that I be from amongst somebody who is ignorant. What happened? your amygdala your amygdala, we find that Moosa is speaking to the new Israel eel by new Israel, the children of Israel eel, who was his ra he is right he was Yaqoob Allah his cell and they are obese, called a strong eel, and the children of Yaqoob from amongst them use of alayhis salaam. Binyamin and the other 10 brothers. So the 12 of us bought the 12 tribes of the new Israel Egypt and Musa alayhis salaam, he is from the descendants of Yusuf alayhi salam, we find that Ibrahim had a son by the name of Izmir, eel we are all familiar Masha
Allah, our souls that Allah while he was to them comes from that line, while Ibrahim had another son by the
name off by the name of his hack. His hack had a son by the name of Yaqoob Yaqoob, who is a strong email and your code has a son by the name of yusoff and Binyamin and 10 others and all the Jewish tribes they then descended from those 12 tribes of Israel. So then later on comes Moosa from the descendants of use of Allah He sent him. So Moses says to his people in the La Jolla, mortal con, and death, bajo Baccarat, Allah has ordered you people in my people whose his people, the ones who came with him from Palestine, the ones who came with him from Palestine, and also now that he is in Egypt, the natives of Egypt, the people of Egypt, so they make up the people of Musa alayhis,
salaam, Allah orders you people to slaughter a cow. Why slaughter a cow? What happened? What's the story? Well, we find in the SRR, le yet we find in the traditions of the Jews and the Christians, and our students that a lot of it was said and told us that we can use these traditions, we should not 100% believe in them, nor should we completely deny them, but we can use them to fill the gaps in sha Allah, that there was a rich man from the new Israel, and he had no kids. And he had a nephew who would eventually inherit from him. But this nephew was greedy. He was impatient. He wanted the wealth early. And so what did he do? He killed his uncle. So panela look at the crime. Look at the
sin of being greedy. And the sin of being impatient. He killed his uncle. And what did he then do? He takes the dead body and he leaves it amongst some houses. And in the morning, when the body was discovered, he comes along and he screams and he shouts that you people have killed my uncle. You people have killed my uncle. And they were like, absolutely not. We have not done this. And we don't know who did this. And the people broke up into like two groups, and each one accusing the other. And this criminal, the perpetrator, the nephew, he obviously wants to falsely accuse someone else. Why? So that he can also benefit from the blood money. If he falsely accuses these people and they
are found guilty in the court, then he will get the blood money from them. And he will also eat from the inheritance along with Stan. And so the people are arguing they're about to fight and then from amongst them, some of them say you know what, let us go to Moosa and he sent them. We have amongst us a profit we have Musa alayhis salam who gets revelation from Allah subhanho wa Taala. Let's go to him, he will ask Allah who the killer is, he will find out this information for us. And thus they all agree and they head off to Musa alayhis salam and so they come to Musa alayhis salaam and they inform him of the whole story. And he gets the revelation that Allah orders you people to slaughter
a cow. They are surprised. What's the connection between us wanting to know who the killer is? And you ordering us and telling us to slaughter a cow? This sounds illogical. Are you making fun of us? Are you playing games almost are alayhis salam Subhan Allah look at the attitude. They were basically accusing the prophet of lying that Allah subhanho wa Taala has ordered this. They believed in Moosa, they believed he was an abbey and now they are saying no, no, you are lying that Allah subhanho wa Taala has said such an Musa alayhis salam he seeks refuge in Allah and akuna Minal Jia Helene, he defended himself against this accusation, that how can I lie with regards to what Allah
subhanho wa Taala states? In fact, even our lawsuits that a lot while he was selling, Mohammed said a lot while he was selling in Surah, Al ha, verse number 44, to 47 that Allah mentions, while with the O Allah, Elena, bah, bah bah will that even if the results are long, what he was saying had to make up and fabricate statements from Allah, that Allah subhanho wa Taala will finish him off, and Abby cannot lie against Allah subhanho wa Taala. And so now what was this order? slaughter a cow, one might ask, why slaughter a cow? Why didn't Allah subhanho wa Taala? Just give the answer. Couldn't Allah have done that? We know in the story of jurij, who was a pious, righteous man of the
new Israel eel, and this woman comes along and she wants to commit adultery with him, and he refuses, she goes along, falls pregnant with a shepherd, and she has a kid. And then she says to the people, you people praise your age, but he is not so good. Look at what he's done. He made me pregnant, and thus she had this kid. Later on jurij comes the people are accusing him of Xena. And he asks the kid while the kids in the cradle the kids an infant, it says Who is your father? And the kid speaks? And he says My father is the shepherd and thus drage was exonerated of that accusation. So couldn't Allah have done that? Just give the answer. No doubt Allah could have done that. But as
we will see, there was great wisdom behind this longer method. We
regards to the cow we find the word Baccarat is mentioned in the Quran nine times five times in the surah. Then once with regards to the pagan consecration of lawful animals in Surah An m, verse 144, where these people were lying against Allah subhanho wa Taala. Then we find in the story of use of alayhis salaam and the dream of the king, two times it's mentioned Bharat, the cows, and so a total of nine times in the Noble Quran. And now a question, why a cow? Why did Allah ordered them to slaughter a cow? Why not a bird? Why not a camel? It must be remembered that the binary is ra l, the previous D sanctified the cow and they fall into the worshipping of the golden calf. The egil agent
is mentioned 10 times in the Quran, the golden calf, and so maybe this was also a test to see if there remained any traces of this veneration in the hearts a lot auditing them to slaughter a cow. Previously they were worshipping the calf and the cow etc. Is there any traces left of this veneration? This was a test for them. SubhanAllah getting back to the story. And so to find out the killer, they needed to slaughter a cow. They could have went out and found any cow and slaughtered it. In fact, the kids they know exactly what a cow is. But these people they began asking unnecessary questions. Unnecessary questions like what kind of cow Olam insurance all of the ruler
now Rebecca up Lana man he called in a hula hula in Baccarat to laugh at Ebola because I plan on being as Alec furfural Maroon that they ask they ask Musa alayhis salam that you ask your rod, look at that. You ask your rod. Oh, the ruler now Rebecca call upon your rod for us. Imagine you're Rob This is how they speak to Musa alayhis salam. They're not saying our rod asked Rob Bana ask our Rod baranda. They say to Musa you asked your rod. They are the ones who need the favor. They are the ones who want to know who the killer is. And look at the lack of adverb the lack of respect or the ruler now Rebecca Ubl and Emma he asked your rod to inform us to make the matter clear for us what
type of cow so they asking unnecessary questions. Allah made their lives difficult in yahoo yahoo in Baccarat to laugh at Ebola because Allah subhanho wa Taala orders you people to slaughter a cow laugh at you, but it's not very, very old. It's not one of those cows that has given birth many many times and thus it's now very old. It's not one of those one at bigger, nor is it very, very young. I haven't been as Alec it's between those two for for illuma to Maroon do what you've been ordered to Pinilla do what you've been ordered. But do they do that? No, they don't do that. Compare the attitude of the followers of Musa alayhis salaam to the companions of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam semi in our Aparna we hear and we obey they would say whereas the followers of Musa semi in our Selena we hear and we disobey the companions of the prophets of Allah while he was dealing with submit the importance of submitting to the MBR of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So then they start to ask this was the question about the age and then they go further. This didn't satisfy them. They asked more questions. They asked about it about its color Subhanallah all of the ruling out Rebecca up Lana Malou ha asked your Rob omorosa to inform us about its color. I mean, what does the color have to do with anything or the inner who Yoku in Boca Raton sophora Allah subhanho wa Taala tells them
that it is a cow that is yellow, foggy or low, no ha that is very strong and rich in this yellow, the surah Nazarene but it's not the type of yellow that due to sickness or illness. Rather, it is healthy. This cow It looks very, very nice. It's very healthy, the pseudo novoline it pleases the person who looks at it. So now they need to find a cow which is not very old, not very young. And then it's yellow, very strong and rich in its yellow it's very healthy, it's not sick, they're making their lives difficult Subhanallah and when it comes to it so now when we find that old Mr. Stating that when you give charity, don't give off the roadie don't give up that which you wouldn't
take yourself. Give that which is the best for Allah subhanho wa Taala. As for the unnecessary questions, the same happened to our souls that Allah while he was silent, he ordered the people to perform hajj, somebody stood up and he says you're Rasulullah every year Professor Allah said Allah ordered you to make Hajj, make Hajj, he says jasola every year Professor Ali Sam says Allah ordered you to make Hajj and so make your Hajj
rasulillah every year Prophet sallallahu it was said, I'm told him if I had to say every year, then it would become an obligation every year, and then you wouldn't be able to do it. SubhanAllah while you're asking these type of questions, making your own lives difficult lattice aaloo and ashia are intubate. delicata sukham. Don't ask about matters if they are informed to you, you're going to have a difficult life. We find Abdullah yBnL Omar, somebody had come to him. And he says that when I'm performing pallavaram de cada, if I'm unable to touch the Blackstone, what can I do? Then? Omar says to him, then you point something to it. Are at if I can't do that, then you indicate towards it you
point to it. Or if I can't do that, don't you see if I if I'm unable to do that, then what do I do? Abdullah Omar asks him Where are you from? He says I'm from Yemen. Abdullah Omar says to him the next time you come leave your data in Yemen, leave the data in Yemen and then you come and make the Hajj unnecessary questions along with Stan So number one, they asked about age number two they asked about color. Did they suffice with that? Absolutely not. Verse number 70. All of the ruler now Rebecca up Lana, he that turned to your Rob almost asked your Rob to inform us make it clear for us in El Bharata shaba Elena, that this cow matter is confusing to us. What in insha, Allah will mo
dawn and by the permission of a lot insha Allah we will be we will be guided Subhan Allah that Allah state had they not said insha Allah, then they would have never ever found the actual cow, your amygdala, your amygdala. This also shows us the importance of saying insha Allah, we find in the Nova Corps and it's Maria alayhis salam, he said said that you do need insha Allah who Mina saw between the insha Allah you will find me to be somebody who has suffered at the time of the slaughter. Musa alayhis salam when he was the student of Haider, he also said said that you need in sha Allah who saw bureaux insha Allah you will find me to be somebody who has patience, we find
Sure. And he said and Musa said to him said that you do need insha Allah whom in a solid vein, I will work for you and insha Allah, you will find me to be somebody who is righteous, the importance of saying insha Allah in all matters. So musar tells them that Allah subhanho wa Taala states, you're all in Baccarat to land a loon to Cyril Aldo alatus philhealth that this cow here lands alone, it's not used for plowing the fields lands alone to Cyril arroba. While at the spill hearth. People don't use it for plowing the fields. No is it used for any of the irrigating of the fields? The label means that which is used a lot this cow here it's not used a lot was similar to last year
taffy ha masala it's free of all blemishes and problems and herbs. Last year the fee her there's no whiteness on it. There's no Watson there's no sign on it. Sometimes people brand the animal with their names, etc. No branding on it at all. All you will earn double hop further but who her one our guide we have I don't they said almost. Now the correct description has come further by hoo ha and eventually they slaughtered it. And they will almost not able to find it or buy it as we will see. Where did they find the special cow? This beautiful cow? Where did they find this prized cow? Well, the story goes from the Israel Elliot that there was an old poor man and he had this calf as a
prized possession. He is now old he feels that he is dead is very soon. He makes it to a law that a lot keeps it safe for his family. Later on his son grows up and then he eventually goes out looking for this cow now now it's big. It's a cow. And he finds it and he takes it back home. And this individual this youngster here was really dutiful to his mother will humbly left, his mother tells him to go and sell it in the marketplace. But don't ask for more than 18 hours don't accept more than 18 hours. And the story goes that there was an angel that came in the form of a meme and comes to this boy and says that I offer you 10 dinars 10 gold coins for this cow. The boy says No, I
can't. It's only eight. The man says Don't worry about the other two you keep it keep it quiet. Don't inform your mother. The boy says no, I can't do that. Then the man says to him that I offer you 12 Golden dinars for this cow. You can keep the extra for for yourself. No need to inform your mother keep it quiet. The boy says Absolutely not. I cannot do that. And then the man says to him look after the cow and do not sell it except for its weight in gold. its weight in gold. And so later on the Israelites, they come to this family because they realized that
This boy here, this family, they have this special cow, this prized cow. And so the Israelites come and they want to buy it, and the boy refuses to sell it except for its weight in gold. And thus it was very, very, very, very, very expensive. And the Israelites were almost unable to find enough gold to purchase it and they just made it while handling left. And now the mother and the boy they have more than they could have ever imagined of Subhanallah all because this boy was dutiful to his mother. He didn't want to take the money from the man without informing his mother's Pinilla obedience to His parents. Allah mentions in verse 72 what is enough sun fed the rock tone fee ha
will la humare. Juma quantum Dr. Moon Sabrina boo boo boo ba de Hakka Delica Yoshi Allahu la Mota. What do you reckon Aya t La La come tarpey loan when you kill the man when you killed a nefs federal fee her and you cast blame on one another while lahoma kuriyama Quantum tuxedomoon and Allah will bring forth the truth with regards to what was hidden for boy nobody Whoo hoo be Barbie Ha. And so it was said to them to strike this dead man with a part of it with a part of the slotted cow gallica you hear now will mode and that's a lot gives life to the dead while you read from it. And he shows you His signs that I like him tapping on so that you might understand so that you might use your
uncle, they were told to take a limb from this dead cow that they've now slaughtered and touch the dead man. And when they did so, the dead man miraculously came back to life. Imagine a dead limb from the dead cow touching this dead body and life came out to panela. Look at the modus operandi of Allah subhanho wa Taala look at the system of Allah subhanho wa Taala. The man spoke and he mentioned who the killer was. He said that this is my, this is my nephew, and he is the one who killed me. And as he was caught, and this criminal the perpetrator was eventually put to that the victim spoke and then he fell down dead once again, span a law. So this is the story. This is why
they were told to slaughter a cow don't jump the gun. When the nebby told you from Allah slaughter the cow, it was to eventually find out who the killer was. But you people were jumping the queue. You were jumping the gun? You wanted the answer right now, your amygdala, your amygdala via the unfolding of these events, people will witness to a great miracle. And hopefully they learned many, many lessons. As for the criminal we mentioned he was put to death. What was his crime? He killed his own uncle SubhanAllah. Why? Because he was greedy. He was impatient. And the crime of spilling unjust blood, it will haunt you. There's a story of this individual, he robbed somebody after taking
his wealth. He decides to kill this man. And the man says Please let me go. Let me go. Why do you want to kill me? I mean, I'm not going to do anything. Take the money. Take the wild goat. He says no, I don't want to leave behind any witnesses. And he's about to kill this innocent man. The man looks up and he sees two birds. And he says you witness my innocent blood being spilled. And the story goes that the perpetrator decided to eat and there was chicken or a bird being served then he would always remember his crime. He was always haunted by that crime of spinning unjust blood. Yeah. Abdullah Yeah, at a law we saw that in this story. Allah gave life to that which was dead, we find
in the noble core and Ibrahim Alayhi Salam and the birds mentioned in Surah Baqarah verse 260, we also find similar Raisa alayhis salam and the clay bird in Surah, Allah imraan verse number 49. Then there's also the story of the man who died, and then he was revived 100 years later also mentioned in Surah, Al Baqarah, verse number 259. Why the story is why these events because you had many who denied the fact that we will be resurrected after our death Subhan Allah, Allah Yeah, Mr. de la it's also interesting to note that the story of Musa alayhis salam, the Israelites the cow, this is one of those stories that you do not find in the Bible. But there is a similar story. There's some
similarities between this story mentioned in the noble Koran, and one mentioned in Deuteronomy, verse number 21 129. It's dealing with the law for human relationships. When you are in the land and your LORD your God is giving you someone might be found murdered in a field and you do not know who committed the crime. In such a case, your elders and judges must measure the distance from the site of the crime to the nearby towns. When the nearest town has been determined that towns eldest must select from the herd a young cow important a young person
How that has never been trained or yoked to plow very similar to our Quranic story, they must lead it down to a valley that has not been plowed or planted, and that a stream running and has a stream running through it. They in the valley, they must break the young cow's neck, then the Levitical priests must step forward and then it continues, the elders of the town must wash their hands over the young cow whose neck was broken, and they must say, our hands did not shed this person's blood, nor did we see it happened, oh Lord, forgive your people Israel whom you have redeemed do not charge your people with the guilt of murdering an innocent person, then they will be absorbed of the guilt
of this person's blood, etc, etc. So not the exact same story. But there are some similarities between the two and Allah subhanho wa Taala knows best some lessons from the story of the cow that to the Jews of Madina. munawwara Do not be stubborn. Learn from the manual Israel. l learn from the people of the past, learn from their mistakes so that you do not implement those same mistakes. We learn about the evil of being greedy of being impatient and how it led to a murder, murdering of a family member of your uncle Subhanallah we learned that once you do refrain from asking unnecessary questions once should submit to the nurse one should submit to the text of the order and the sooner
one should submit to the Prophet of Allah subhanho wa Taala. We also find that we learned the lesson that one should be respectful to elders to the NBA to the earlier we saw that the venue Israel were very disrespectful to Musa alayhis salam, they accused him of lying against Allah subhanho wa Taala they said to him, ask your Rob along with Stan, we learned the importance of saying insha Allah We also saw that the boy he was dutiful to his mother and because he was obedient to his mother how much of Baraka This brought to the family will handle the left. Last Dr. Abdullah m Allah, we see the qudra the power, the wisdom, the hikma of Allah subhanho wa Taala manifested repeatedly in this
entire story so many times, one after the other, the wisdom the hikma the Buddha the power of Allah subhanho wa Taala manifested Subhana Allah, they just wanted an answer. Allah took them on this journey and they learned a million more lessons via this journey. Well hamdulillah We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to grant us understanding, we ask Allah subhana wa Taala to grant us tofik to submit to the will of Allah Subhana who is Allah? We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to protect us from being greedy protect us from being impatient, grant us sober and grant us contentment Heather Heather was sallallahu wasallam watercolor MD he was sweet he Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa
