This section is divided into two parts:

2) Beginning of Surah Al –e –Imran (Chapter 3)

1) Remaining of Surah Baqarah has 3 points:

- Charity and Interest
2 Significant verses:
1- Ayatul Kursi (verse 255) that is greatest in status. It includes the mention of Allah 17 times
2- Ayat al Mada’ina (verse 282) that is the longest verse in the Holy Quran, mentions transactions and loans are discussed
Mention of 2 Prophets:
1- Prophet Ibrahim:
a. The debate between Prophet Ibrahim and Nimrod
b. His prayer to witness the dead coming to life
2- Prophet Uzair(Ezra):
a. Who returned to life after being dead for 100 years
Charity and Interest:
Apparently it would seem that charity reduces wealth and earning interest increases wealth. However, in reality charity increases a person’s wealth and earning interest will reduce it.

2) Beginning of Surah Al-e-Imran has 4 discussions
- Its relationship to Surah Baqarah
- 4 stories of Allah’s power
-The Debate, Imprecation and Treaty with the people of the book
-The oath of the earlier Prophets

It’s relationship to Surah Baqarah:
These two surahs are connected to one another by their mutual mention of the Truthfulness of the Quran and their discourses peoples who received divine revelations [people of the book]. While in Surah Baqarah most often Jewish people are addressed, Surah Al-e-Imran focuses on speaking to Christians.
4 stories of Allah’s power:
1. The first story is of the Battle of Badr – Where 313 warriors defeated an army of 1,000
2. Bibi Maryam receives fruits that are out of season from Allah
3. Prophet Zakariyah being granted a child in his old age.
4. Prophet Isa is born without a father, speaks in his infancy, and is raised to the heavens.
The Debate, Imprecation and Treaty with the people of the book
The people of the book came to debate the Holy Prophet, when they couldn’t agree on a conclusion both parties agreed to have the matter between them decided by Mubahila (Mutual Imprecation) where both sides brought themselves and their families then with sincerity and devotion both sides prayed that may the curse of Allah be on the liars. However, the people of the book forfeited from the challenge and instead agreed to a treaty under mutually agreeable terms: That all believe “There is no god but Allah”

The Oath of the earlier Prophets:
All of the earlier Prophets swore an oath that when the final Prophet (SAW) comes, they would all follow his orders and keep faith in his message. If the final Prophet came after the death of these prophets, they would commit their nations to follow the final Prophet.
