ADHIKR

This Medina revealed Surath is the largest Surath in the Book consisting of 286 verses. Lord taught through His Messenger that everything has a peak point, and the peak point of the Book is Al-Baqara. This Surath consists of the longest verse and the glorious verse. The glorious verse of the Book is the 255th and is known as the ‘Verse of throne’ (Ayathul-Kursiyye), and the longest verse is 282th. Both Surath Al-Baqara and Ali-Imran are together known as ‘Zahravan’ which means two gardens of flowers. The Lord has taught through His Messenger: “You should learn and teach Al-Baqara and Ali-Imran, surely, they are the two gardens of flowers”. Those who learn these Surath with their soul will be provided with shades as two canopies of clouds or two turbans or two wings of a bird on the Day of Judgment. Lord delivered the Children of Israel from the Pharaoh and his folks by splitting the Red Sea. They encamped at the desert Sinai. By the direction of the Lord, Messenger Moses went to Mount Sinai to receive the Torah by appointing his brother Haroon as his representative to the people. This time, under the leadership of Samiriyy, the people melted all their ornaments and molded a calf and Satan gave it a mooing sound. They began to worship it. When Moses returned to the people, to remove the cow adoration dissolved in their inner heart, the Lord ordered them to sacrifice a cow that was used to worship. From this event, this Surath got the name ‘Al-Baqara’ which means ‘the cow’. This Surath teaches that Satan’s footsteps like cow adoration, following the way of forefathers blindly, selfishness, racialism, lusts, nationalism, communalism, partiality, etc. should be wiped out from one’s heart with Adhikr which is the Food, Cloth, and Sight of the soulmate. And only by that one can keep the Lord in their heart.
