Juz 7
The Food, cont.:
Intoxicants and gambling are tools of the devil. 12-91.
Don’t hunt on pilgrimage 13-96
The Cattle:
Challenges polytheists who make excuses such as asking for signs of proof, even though Allah produces them constantly; I like the imagery of 12-99 & 12-100.
13-4-31: they’ll deny until last day, then cry for help
13-110 “… we leave them in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.”

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 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.”
