			Alhamdulillah How was your experience of reciting Surah Fatiha over the past week? Was there a
difference between how you recited it before and how you recited it now, there was a difference of
hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah. That is excellent. And this is the goal that in sha Allah, whatever we
learn here, this is not just for the sake of you know, exercising our minds and learning about some
complicated concepts, you know, feel good about ourselves because we are studying something great.
You know, the goal over here is to better connect with the Quran. Because the Quran is our
connection with Allah subhanaw taala This is the robe of Allah, that Allah has let down to us for us
		

			so that we can hold on to it and through it, we connect with our Lord or zoologia. So with the same
spirit in sha Allah, we will begin the study of Surah Al Baqarah. And yes, Surah Baqarah is a long
Surah Surah Fatiha Al Hamdulillah, we managed to study that succeed in two sessions Surah Al Baqarah
will take several months in sha Allah. But the thing is that it doesn't matter how long we spend in
studying the surah what matters over here is that we are getting to connect with the book of Allah
we are getting to learn its meanings, and everyone you know learns at their own pace. Alhamdulillah
so the longer we take, the more blessed we are, the more fortunate we are because we're getting to
		

			spend more time with sudo Baqarah in sha Allah. So let's begin our lesson. This is lesson number
two, we will study saluted Bacara verses one to five inshallah. Now the first thing that we're going
to talk about is introduction to the sutra, its importance, its significance. So the first thing is
that sorbitol Bacara is a Madani Surah Madani Surah meaning it was revealed after the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam migrated, he made the Hijra to Medina and this surah was revealed over a
period of several years. Surah Baqarah is the longest Surah of the Quran. It has 286 verses, and it
covers two and a half of the Quran. It has the longest verse of the Quran and it also has the
		

			greatest verse of the Quran. And its last two verses are from a special treasure as we learned in
Hadith, and the last two verses of Surah Al Baqarah are a light and they are also a protection and a
source of great reward for the person who recites them. Now when it comes to the importance of the
Surah it is well known there's a hadith that you can see on the screen and this is the Hadith that
inshallah we'll be talking about in order to understand the significance of the surah the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said it Karole Quran recite the Quran for inner who yet T yo Pia Mati
Shafi I leave us Herbie because on the Day of Resurrection, it will come as an intercessor for those
		

			who recite it. He said it kura Azahar Wayne recite the two bright ones Al Baqarah was Surah Al Imran
the two bright ones which are so little Bacara and earlier Imran Why are recite these two because
for in the homage to Yanni yo Millcreek Amity and know whom Allah mammoth tan because they will come
on the day of resurrection in the form of two clouds or two shades or okay and now whomever Yeah,
yeah attorney okay and nahama Kahneman trading so if or they will come in the form of two flocks of
birds in ranks, why two had Januar and US Habima pleading for those who recite them? He said Icaros
Surah Al Baqarah recite Surah Al Baqarah. Why for in the * Baraka because to take recourse to it
		

			is a blessing what Dhaka has Sora and to leave it to give it up is a cause of grief a cause of
regret, what at the still play it Rahel batalla and the magician's cannot confront it. So in this
hadith, we see a number of things that tell us about the importance of silicon Bacala. The first
thing we see is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself told us the name of the surah
that the surah is called L
		

			Bukhara and why is it called Al Baqarah because of the story of the Bacara, which is in the Surah,
the story of the cow which is in the Surah. Now, remember that the names of the surah of the Quran,
you know, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us their names, and these names do not
necessarily mean that they are the main subject or the main topic of the entire solar. If the solar
is called Al Baqarah, it doesn't mean that the surah is only talking about the incident of the cow.
Likewise, if there's a surah, called a Nyssa, it doesn't mean that it is only talking about women.
If there's a surah that is named Ibrahim, it doesn't mean that it is only talking about Ibrahim
		

			alayhis salaam, the name of the surah is just a way of referring to it. It's the Sunnah of the cow
meaning the surah that has the story of the cow in it and the names of the sodas are you know
sometimes after how they begin so for example, solid solid is called solid because it begins with
solid. We have solid Bani Israel eel because it mentions the incident off or rather, it refers to
the Bani Israel eel in the beginning on the first page, sort of Ali Imran is called Ali Imran,
because it has the story of the family of Iran in it. So the names of the sutras are you know,
different. Some sources have multiple names as well. So Surah Al Baqarah, the Prophet sallallahu
		

			alayhi wa sallam himself told as the name of the surah and we see in this hadith that he also called
it one of the Zahawi in one of the two bright lights. Zahira is a beautiful, glistening shining
light that is of a bright white color. So the surah is an illumination, the surah is a guidance, the
surah is an honor the surah is a beauty, the surah brings clarity, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam. In this hadith, we see that he especially instructed us to recite the surah that ikura o
Surah Al Baqarah, recite Surah Al Baqarah. And we learn in a hadith that will say the man who there
are the Allahu Anhu when he was reciting Surah Baqarah, the angels were present, and they attended
		

			his recitation. Then we see in this hadith that on the Day of Judgment Surah Baqarah. And solid
earlier Imran both will come in the form of shades, right in the form of clouds or canopies or
flocks of birds. And the idea over here is that these sorrows will come and shelter and protect. You
know, there are people on the Day of Judgment because remember that on the Day of Judgment, the sun
will be brought very, very near. And in a hadith we learned that people will be like drowning in
their sweat. Some people will be drowning with the sweat reaching up to the level of their mouth, so
that people will be exposed people will be in danger, but Surah Al Baqarah surah. Earlier Imran will
		

			come to shelter, to give shade to their people on the day of judgment, and specifically we learn
that the soldiers will plead for those who recite them, meaning the sutras will intercede. They will
advocate for their reciters any the people who learn Surah Al Baqarah, who recite Surah Baqarah, who
follow suit Al Baqarah. Then the sutras will fight for a person on the Day of Judgment, advocate for
the person on the Day of Judgment. In another Hadith we learned the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said that on the Day of Resurrection, the Quran and those who acted according to it will be
brought with suitable Bukhara and soothe earlier Imran preceding them. So it will be as though there
		

			is a special you know procession with sutra Bukhara and sooth earlier Imran proceeding the people of
the Quran, Allahu Bucha, and I'm in home. And then we see that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam also said that there have Baraka that taking the surah is a blessing taking it, meaning
learning it, memorizing it, reciting it regularly, consistently, then this is a source of blessing
for a person, where in this world and in the hereafter How is it a source of blessing for a person
in this world? In this world, we see that the person who learns Surah Al Baqarah becomes a person of
knowledge and a person of honor and dignity. We learn in a hadith about how the Prophet sallallahu
		

			alayhi wa sallam was one sending a group of people on a certain expedition and in order to appoint a
leader among them, he asked every single person that how much of the Quran Have you learned, so each
person mentioned about you know how much Quran they had learned, and then the youngest of them said
that I have learned Surah to Bacara the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam asked him a
		

			Baraka Surah Al Baqarah, do you have meaning Have you memorized pseudo Baqarah? And that young man
said yes. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said fed the hub for into Amuro home, go, you
are their leader. So instantly that person was chosen above others. Why? Because of his knowledge of
pseudo tobacco because he had learned Surah Baqarah. We learned that in the Battle of her name, when
you know, the Muslims were suddenly attacked and they began dispersing they began to run away. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam asked his uncle or bestel de la Mourinho because he had a really
loud voice that call the Muslims right call them. So our bass radula horn who said, Yeah, us have a
		

			Surah Al Baqarah. All people have sudo to Baqarah any, this is how he referred to them, and he
shouted out loud, all people of Surah Al Baqarah. And when they heard that, they stopped, and they
turned back and they went towards the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. So learning Surah Al
Baqarah is a source of blessing it because by learning Surah Baqarah a person is learning a
significant portion of knowledge. And that knowledge is going to be a source of honor, it's going to
be a source of clarity, it's going to be a source of blessing for them by reading Silikal Bacala a
person is reciting a lot of the Quran. So by that also there will be a lot of baraka and a surah de
		

			la Mora and who said that when a man among us read Surah Al Baqarah. And earlier Imran he became
eminent among us, Jack Dafina meaning all of a sudden he became important among us or you are a
Davina or Lehmann he was counted as someone great among us, or the fina there shutting it he was
considered as someone who is very honorable among us. So sorbitol Bacara is a source of honor for
its people in this world even and in the hereafter. Its blessing, its benefit is endless. There is a
Hadith and Muslim Ahmed, in which we learned that Buddha or the Longhorn who said that I was sitting
with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he said, Learn sootel Bacara because taking it is
		

			a blessing and leaving it is a source of regret, and the magician's cannot counter it. And then the
Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam paused for some time, and then he said, Learn Surah Al Baqarah.
And Alia Imran, because they are two lights that will shed their people on the Day of Judgment, they
will come in the form of clouds or canopies or flocks of birds into rules, and the Quran will meet
its companion on the Day of Judgment, right at the time when his grave will be opened up. So the
moment that a person is resurrected, right at that time, the Quran will come and meet that person in
the form of a human being. And the Quran will say to him, do you recognize me? And that person will
		

			say no, I do not recognize you. So the Quran will say I am your companion, the Quran, who kept you
thirsty during the hot days and kept you awake in the night. And every trader is behind his trade
goods. Meaning if a person is you know, selling certain items than he is with his trade goods,
right, he is guarding them, and he is depending on them. The Quran will say that today you are ahead
of all trade goods, meaning you will be guarded better than any trade goods were ever I am here to
guard you. I am here to bring you gains prophets rewards because while people pursued worldly
benefits, you pursued the Quran. And then in the Hadith, we learned that the person will be given
		

			kingship ownership in his right hand and eternity in his left hand and a crown of honor will be
placed on his head and his parents will be dressed with silken robes that are better than the whole
world. So they will ask that why have we been dressed with this and they will be told because of
your child learning the Quran because of your teaching your child the Quran, and then the companion
of your Quran will be told recite and ascend into the ranks of paradise. So this person will
continue to ascend into the ranks of paradise for as long as he recites the Quran. So, learning the
Quran, learning software baccarat Yes, it is a source of endless blessing in this life and in the
		

			next life. And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said what taka has Surah leaving it is a
regret leaving it is a source of sorrow, a source of grief, meaning whoever does not recite Surah
Baqarah does not learn Surah Baqarah does not implement what is in surah
		

			Will Bacala then such a person is truly in deprivation, he will be sad, he will have regrets in his
life, because he will make mistakes. Knowledge is something that guards you that protects you from
making mistakes. And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the magicians cannot
confront it, meaning shaitan and his people, the magicians, they are not able to stand against the
power of certain Bacala. So, Surah Baqarah is a great defense against shaytaan his whispers against
the magic of the magicians against the evil of the jinn. So pseudo Bacara is a defense. In another
Hadith we learn that lethargy or LuBu Utako macabre, do not make your homes into graveyards in a
		

			shape line, a young Pharaoh mineral beta levy to crow fie Surah Al Baqarah, That shaytaan runs away
from the house in which sort of Bukhara is recited. So if ever you feel that there's too much
arguing and fighting going on, that, you know, people are missing prayers, there is lack of
blessing. You know, there is problems there sadness, then it is important that we recite Surah Al
Baqarah. In our homes, in your room, in your living room. And don't just play the recitation, recite
it yourself as well. Because when you recite Surah Baqarah in your home, then shaitan will leave
your home shaitan will not be able to stay there, the influence the power of shaitan will be broken.
		

			In another Hadith we learn that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam called certain Bacara the
senang, the pinnacle of the Quran, he said intellectually che in cinammon, for everything is a
pinnacle, and the pinnacle of the Quran is certain Bacara. Now the Suriname of something is its
highest part its peak. So for example, the hump of a camel is called it's sent down. The tsunami of
a people is their most honorable one. So sudo for Bukhara is very important in the Quran. And how is
it important? Why is it important because its contents are ever relevant. And we see that it
contains AYATUL kursi, which is so powerful. It contains the last two verses of Surah Al Baqarah are
		

			from the treasure of the throne. They are a protection and a source of great reward. So the
significance the importance of Surah Al Baqarah is well known and we should keep this in mind as we
studied the surah another important thing that we should look at is the overview of the surah its
main themes, and insha Allah I'll get into that in a little while. We learn in a hadith that the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that I was given the seven lengthy ones, meaning a sub
Barkley while in place of the total arts. So suitable Bacala remember it is from the category of the
sutras which are known as a subdirectory while the seven lengthy sutras and the sutras are from
		

			Surah Al Baqarah, to pseudo and violent Toba. So little and violent obar also considered as one
surah. So these are seven long sutras and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that I was
given the sources in place of the Torah and he said I was given those with 100 meaning and be in the
sutras which are on average 100 verses a little more, a little less and these are sutras Eunice all
the way to hoogenraad. He said I was given V's in place of the Injeel and he said I was given them a
Thani meaning those which are recited very often in place off the boat, and I was given preference
with those which are separated. The Mufasa Mufasa sutras are sodas, who gelato to a NAS. And what is
		

			meant by that is because the solos are very short they are separated with the bus Mala meaning after
every little while, you have to say Bismillah and then you continue with the recitation. So in this
hadith, we see that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that in place of the Torah, he was
given the seven longswords. And all of the seven long sutras is Surah Al Baqarah. Now before we
begin with that said, I want you to open up your must have or the translation of the Quran that you
have, and by the way, in every class, I'm sorry, I did not mention this before, but please keep this
in mind in the future that in your class, make sure that you have a copy of the translation of the
		

			Quran with you with you a hard copy because I want you to be able to become very familiar with the
Quran that you should be able to, you know, open up the Quran, and you know, find a surah find a
verse And notice, you know, certain themes in the Quran. Inshallah. So as you open up the mascara, I
want you to notice certain themes in Surah Baqarah or certain things that are mentioned in Silikal
Bukhara for
		

			First of all, we see that right at the beginning of sudoku Bacala, we see the description of the
people who gain guidance from the Quran. And then we have the mention of the people who don't
benefit from the Quran. And then we see in verse 21, Allah subhanaw taala addresses all people, that
all of you should worship Allah. And then we have in verses 30 onwards the story of the murderer,
his Salam, you know, his creation, and how he was agenda. And then we have after that, verses 40
onwards, Allah subhanaw taala, especially addresses the Bani Israel in the Bani Israel eel are
specifically the Jews, the people who follow the Torah, who follow Musa alayhis salam. So there are
		

			many verses almost, you know, till the end of the first Jews in which Allah subhanaw taala addresses
them, and he reminds them of the different favours that he has bestowed upon them. And there is a
special invitation that is given to them to believe in the Quran to follow the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. And then we have in verse 124, of Surah Al Baqarah. Allah subhanaw taala mentions
about Ibrahim alayhis salam, the story of how he built the Kaaba, then you have in the second Jews,
certain commands that are given to the believers, for example, facing the Qibla in verse 158, there
is mention of rituals of Hajj and then you have after that in verse 168, commands related to food,
		

			what is lawful, what is not lawful. And then you have after that verses 178 onwards, you have some
legal rulings, like for example, what to do in the case of murder. You have the law of inheritance
mentioned in a little bit of detail in verse 181 onwards, and then you have verse 183, the commands
related to fasting, and then you have verse 189 onwards, commands related to Hajj and even war,
verse 196, more commands related to Hajj pilgrimage. And then you have after that more laws related
to war, alcohol, and then ethical commands, dealing with people who are having difficulties in their
life, that we should be charitable towards them. Verse number 221 onwards we have commands related
		

			to marriage and divorce. And then we have more detail on laws related to marriage and divorce. Then
there is a long story of an incident from the history of Bani Israel eel, and we have more commands
related to spending in the way of Allah and then riba you know, taking interest, and then how to
deal with loans lending, borrowing, and finally, the end of the surah with the two great verses. So
this is just a quick overview of you know, what's in the Surah. Now, if you look at what the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said over here that I was given the seven lengthy ones in place of the
total lot, when we look at the two lots and the total dots today it refers to the Five Books of Musa
		

			alayhis salaam which are known as the book of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
We see that in the book of Genesis, there is the story of creation, especially of the you know, Adam
already has Salam. There is mention of Ibrahim alayhis salam in the book of Exodus, we have a lot of
detail of the oppression of Bani Israel in Egypt and how Musa alayhis salaam, you know, rescued
them, and how the Bani Israel were saved and then how they worshipped the calf. And then we have in
the Book of Leviticus, it begins with the command to slaughter a bull. And then there are details
about offerings, laws are given, you know, dietary laws, Penal Laws, purity laws, ethical commands,
		

			observation of the Sabbath, there is a reminder of God's favours to them in the book of Numbers. You
know, it begins with the mention of the tribes of Israel. There's laws related to inheritance war,
their complaints and their disobedience has mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy, you know, they're
reminders of the fulfillment of the covenant with Allah subhanaw taala. And there's more, you know,
details related to laws, specifically marriage, divorce, legal cases, etc. And it's important to be
familiar with this because we will see right at the beginning of Surah Baqarah, Allah subhanaw taala
mentions what was revealed before that the Quran is a confirmation of that which came before it is a
		

			continuation of that which came before and there is great resemblance, you know, between the Quran
and the previous scriptures, especially the Torah. So in sha Allah, you will notice that in the
class, I will be referring to these matters, and inshallah we'll talk about, you know, what our
approach should be when it comes to the toe rot and the NG
