Unfair loans aren’t okay. Muslims should spend anonymously towards charity.

Reiterates birth and death of Jesus. Declares the other Abrahamic faiths to be part of Islam, and calls for everyone to follow it.

Juz 17
Ch 21 The Prophets
Claims biblical legends were prophets sent to uplift and teach humanity, rather than a warning against disbelief, of punishment, as most chapters seem to say.

Ch 22 The Pilgrimage
In the Last Hour, disbelievers will face violent punishment (boiling water poured over head, etc). Muslims may fight their oppressors and Allah will guide them to victory regardless of how outnumbered they are.

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

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.”

Juz 11
Allah will provide for believers, and things will not go well for those who ignore prophets; uses Noah, Moses, Jonah as examples.

Juz 10
Rules of war.
Ch. 8 sections 1-5 kind of dehumanizes disbelievers.
Ch 8 sections 5-10 essentially say the outcome of war is Allah’s will, and through faith, Muslims can defeat armies twice their size.
8-9-67 no captives to be taken until triumph over land.

A good portion of Ch. 9 comes off as angry, war-mongering at face value. No sympathy to be felt for “hypocrites.”
