Juz 1/30; Al-Baqarah: The Cow
Reiterates stories from the Bible calls out Jews for repeatedly disobeying God and ignoring messages from Islamic prophets for false idols.
The Cow was tough to understand; internet tells me Moses called a search for a cow to solve a murder, but I don’t see it in the actual text. My book’s annotation claims it an allegory for Jesus’s death and resur., but doesn’t seem right.

Lucked out with my version. Intro gives history and cultural lesson good for westerners.
Quran was revealed over 23 years, in two locales: Mecca (mostly faith), Madina (law)
Can be segmented and broken down for study (from largest to smallest):
7 Manzil
30 juz
114 surah /chapters
ayah “marks” aka verses
As not to rush, readers may read no more than 1 Manzil or 1 juz a day.
Hell not eternal, Paradise is.
