Status Updates From Al-Qur'an: A Contemporary T...

Dense Juz. Need to study further.

Ch 15 The Rock
Devil sent to hell, promises to meddle
Strongholds can’t protect disbelievers from divine punishment.

Ch 16 The Bee
Describes Allah as provider and guide; bees gather from many flowers to produce
16:68 “beverage of many hues in which there is healing for men.”

16:75 “slave” = trapped by idols. Literally, it says slaves < masters. Bad actors can misuse

الأنعام

المائدة

النساء

Juz 13
Retells story of Joseph & brothers; forgiveness
Describes Allah’s power in the most colorful illustrations so far.

13 13:4 I like the synbolism of the world as one diverse garden watered by the same water.

14 3:16 reads “Awaiting them is Hell, and they will be left to drink oozing pus” on Quran.com, but my physical book revises pus to “boiling water.”

وَمَا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ وَٱلۡبَصِيرُ (19) وَلَا ٱلظُّلُمَٰتُ وَلَا ٱلنُّورُ (20) وَلَا ٱلظِّلُّ وَلَا ٱلۡحَرُورُ (21) وَمَا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡأَحۡيَآءُ وَلَا ٱلۡأَمۡوَٰتُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسۡمِعُ مَن يَشَآءُۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُسۡمِعٖ مَّن فِي ٱلۡقُبُورِ (22) إِنۡ أَنتَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ (23)
