Summary of Chapter two
Praise be to God! 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 informing concerning the 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 conveyed. 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 matters relating to these affairs.
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 God”, and in this regard, many examples were given.
The usury was determined as forbidden and it was commanded that the writing and evidence were necessary for the purpose of honesty and elegance in trade.
The Chapter went to an end at important Supplications, which have been mentioned in the previous lesson.
