Ch 56 afterlife rewards and punishments.

57:20 “…this world’s life is naught but a source of vanity.”

Juz 26
Call to arms (context: before a battle against persecution). Allah will guide believers to victory, they will be rewarded. Calls for sacrifice for the cause; Many lines involve deeds being rewarded or voided, based on one’s beliefs.

Enemies to be fought until they can’t persecute any more. Captives to be taken and released.

Can’t share my thoughts within limit. Must study further.

Juz 25
Mostly about accountability and that the Quran is the true religious book.

Surah Luqman is one of my favorites because I can experience the guidance of a loving parent through the Quran. God really gives us everything in the most beautiful ways. This Surah is one of my personal testaments to the existence of Allah, al-Waliy, al-Wadud.
